As HDTV flatscreen TV’s get bigger and bigger, so do computer monitors.

As of April, 2010, Samsung makes the largest LCD computer monitor at 46″ in size. . . But you can enjoy the benefits without paying $48,000 that is required to buy a big fat computer LCD monitor display!

If you have more than one monitor, that will work too.

It’s one of the best ways to increase productivity (and your geek factor) – chances are you have an extra monitor lying around in the back closet somewhere – it doesn’t even have to be a flat-screen monitor to add value either.

Setting up a multi-screen computer monitor set-up is easy.  Windows and Mac have built-in tools to extend your desktop to more than your main screen.

But sometimes it’s better and easier to use 3rd party tools.  Lifehacker to the rescue with their roundup of 5 multi-monitor management tools for the pc (actually it should be 4 since the include Windows 7 as one of them):

Of course there are bunch of other utilities out there to use, but the first two above do offer freebie versions which may work for what you need.  And the other two made the list for good reasons too.
