That’s wonderfu! Congrats!
I have tried — twice — to use two monitors. But I just can’t seem to get the hang of it,

That's SO great! I think I'd really love having 2 monitors! I've never had 2.
I'm using a laptop. This portable monitor uses my USB C port to connect and get power.

Well, what do you know? Why didn't I think of that? My daughter works from home and she has two monitors... I'm going to try this for my scrapping setup, too. Thanks, Scribler!
Oh that's great. I also use 2 screensat work. So useful.
Enjoy it! I have 2 monitors on my main PC for scrapping in my home office. But a few months ago I got another monitor to have dual monitors for my laptop in the living room so now I can scrap up there too. You get spoilt with having 2 and, at least for me, I just can't scrap on one monitor alone anymore.

I should have said I scrap on my lap too, not on a desk, I don't have a dedicated scrapping space, I just scrap on the couch with my laptop on my legs
So I was mistaken, she uses 2 monitors for her PC and has a laptop running on the side, lol. I always forget what kind of gaming she does so this is what she said when I asked her: "I play two games that are mmorpgs and my favorite one is Destiny which is a space adventure/looter-shooter."
Does that make any sense to you, Stacey?

Since I've never done any online gaming of any sort, I don't really have an opinion. She did meet her boyfriend through the gaming, though, so there's that.

how wonderful she met her boyfriend that way
online gaming is very popular, its jsut not for me especially with my typing issues - tried 2 online rpg gmaes many years ago . Now single player i love. co-op play could be interesting though
You will love it. After I got my second one at work I wondered how I ever lived without it like I did once I got my serger. How did I ever sew without it and all those neat, tidy edges?
My second monitor is actually a 32-inch Vizio smart TV. When I'm working on something that doesn't require the second screen I can stream on it. Great for watching how to videos and my favorite shows!

My dh's monitor for his home office is a 43" TCL Roku TV. We got it at the beginning of the pandemic when we realized that working from home was going to last longer than a month. He absolutely loves it.
Found another great use for the second screen last night. Because I scrap on a 15" laptop, a portion of the layer styles box always covers my layout no matter how far I pull it over. Now I can just pull it over to the second screen. I use those settings a lot, so that was an exciting discovery.
I think I have to do this. Great idea.
Awesome! Congrats!
I have been using 2 24" monitors for a few years now. I don't know what I would do without the second one. I can have my PSE workspace on one and 2-3 kits open on the other. A great way to scrap easily and be able to see what you are working with.
I also have all my LO's in slide shows and use them as rotating screen savers. That way I get to see my work and enjoy them rather than having them on a disk and hidden away.

I'm gonna have to think about the slideshow idea. I was looking for an older layout recently and I saw so many pages that I really liked how they turned out and no one ever looks at them again. Made me a little sad.
