In this gallery, I’ll show you screen shots of Windows 8 running on my multiple monitor set up, which consists of a 23-inch LG E2350 wide screen monitor flanked by two 21-inch ViewSonic VP211b monitors, as I described in the article. Plus, there are a number of other features built into Windows 8 that are designed to boost productivity when using multiple monitors.įor all the details, see my Windows Desktop Report article. Not only does a multiple monitor configuration give Windows 8 a better feel on a desktop system, but all the new multiple monitor features that Microsoft has endowed the operating system with are really great! For example, you no longer need to have a third-party utility to put a Taskbar on each monitor or have a different wallpaper image on each desktop. Otherwise all you see is miles and miles of the beloved desktop. In fact, I found that I can essentially forget about the Metro Start screen as it will only be visible on one monitor and then only when click the Start Screen button or press the key on your keyboard. However, when I installed Windows 8 on a system with a multiple monitor configuration, I definitely began seeing the operating system in a totally different way. In that type of configuration I was constantly confronting the Metro Start Screen and feeling like my familiar desktop was playing second fiddle. Up until recently, I have been using Windows 8 on system with a single monitor.
