>>>>If you want to use your PC with two monitors, how important is to have both of the same size? The reason I am asking is I have now one monitor (23") and want to add another one. But I don't have much room on my desk for another 23" so I am thinking of getting a 19" monitor as the second one. Will it be a problem?

>>>The only problem you will have, is when you move the mouse from the bigger monitor to the smaller one. If the mouse pointer is above (or below, depending on the setup) the max height of the other one, your mouse has nowhere to move, and will refuse to move horizontally. The fix is of course to move the mouse vertically first. It will feel odd the first couple of times.

>>But if you adjust the relative position of the monitors to reflect the real-world positions in set up thenthe reason for the problem is pretty intuitive?

>With two dedicated monitors, yes. I have a laptop on my desk and a separate monitor, so it's not possible to align them vertically.
But you don't have to align them vertically or horizontally. I often have my laptop screen at a 45 degree angle from the bottom corner of my monitor. You just drag the monitor icons to look like the setup and when you drag to the lower left of the one monitor and keep going in the same direction you enter the upper right of of the laptop monitor.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
