Recently, I've been finding a number of applications that allow me to make myself a more productive student with the use of my two monitors. I use a Lenovo T400 laptop and a random 26" tv I purchased at Wal-Mart before I left for school.
I bought a cord early in the year that allowed me to connect the two. I hadn't known of the potential of the two items together until now. I downloaded such applications as Edgeless, John's Background Switcher, Virtuawin, and Displayfusion in order to enhance my two screens and my work load. I learned that with all these apps in hand, my work was actually getting done.
I am still working on my set up. The picture above is from a week ago and I have changed a few things to make it more comfortable and neat, but the wire problem I have under the desk is something that will take me a while to figure out.
