Split your monitor
Here at Bleeding Edge we've been looking at wide screens and dual screens, and in particular at BenQ's 20-inch FP202W, which we've seen around town for as little as $615. We've looked at a couple of programs that might be useful for fine-tuning the resolution of wide-screen monitors, and come up with a useful resource, but what we didn't find out about until today was an application called SplitView, which is a Windows screen manager.
SplitView increases productivity by making it easy to work with two applications side by side. It helps make full use of your high resolution monitor and gives the benefit of dual-monitors without their associated cost.It costs $US19. We found it via Loosewire. SplitView allows you to sub-divide the screen real estate into two separate allotments, and switch between them, which could be particularly useful for owners of wide-screen laptops.

Only 20"? I'm looking into purchasing one of these delightful beasts so I'll never have screen envy again (Just can't get the financial controller in agreement).
The Dell 30" widescreen LCD.

I'm afraid the local Institution of Marriage has declared the purchase of anything like that is a capital offence.
