Just picked up a second monitor today. This will make GMing so much nicer.

He He, similarly I use 2x 2560x1440 desktops with scaleui set to 75%. This delivers an uber sized FG desktop :)

Yup. Two iMac 27" standalones + 1 Thunderbolt 27" display. I just missed out on picking up the latest iMac which introduces a staggering 5120 x 2880 pixels! Oh well, next year maybe.

Yeah dual screen feels really like the bare minimum to GM with a vtt. Whatever vtt.

Even as player, I usually find one screen to be barely enough.

I long for a third screen actually…

I have 3 at work. My boss says I can't have four because he's only got 3 himself. I put in a ticket to his boss for him to get a 4th...

I work in I.T. (actually I.S.: Infrastructure Services). Network, Desktops, Telephony... if it's in the cold room or plugs into the wall, I own it.

I just use the onboard video plus a video card for three monitors.

What about your own personal Matrix "The Architect" set-up!

Or perhaps a more realistic mini Architect setup!

Cool Monitors! gratz. I use my Panasonic ZT60 (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-TC-P60ZT60-60-Inch-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00BC4SL18) Plasma for gaming and Fantasy Grounds, in case I need extra room, hasn't happen yet, I have two monitors as backup. The Gaming rig I built myself for high FPS gaming and MMO's. The TV really works well though if you never want to run out of room.

Another cool FG feature is it scales down if everything seems to big on the screen, for example type in chat
/scaleui 75
or whatever scaled percentage is best for you, another reason why FG leads the way in VTT.

Thanks Doug, my girl says she thinks I love it more then her sometimes, I jokingly reply, only when I'm using it... I then leave my 5ft square quickly and wait for the attack of opportunity:dead

Ha Ha.

I agree nice looking case - all you need now is some sexy blue or red neon - try adding a SharkFan Red or Blue Edition fan. It will strobe the neon - it adds an eerie glow hen the system is running and you'll know when your system is being heavily utilised as the strobe effect will increase as the fan speed steps up. :)

Great idea! My top fan is making some noise all of the sudden and tommorrow is Black Friday here, so will get that thanks!

OK fixed the noisy fan problem, but gonna add an extra fan with a blue strobe still just because:p,

If anyone has a noisy fan try this technique, peel back the sticker on the top of the fan, usually a round sticker, underneath you'll find another clear sticker, peel that back and you'll see a small plug covering the fan well. Take out the plug and add a drop of oil or a squirt of WD-40 in the fan well (hole). Guess the oil inside can dry up after a while and friction makes it get louder, quiet as can be now...
