How can I split one large display into two?
Question:
How can I split one large display into two?
Answer:
Computer users who are using large displays such as a 20", 21",
23" or 30" monitor or LCD (especially one that is a widescreen) may wish to
split that large display into two different displays vertically or
horizontally to be more productive and be able to work and/or view
two things at once. In order for a user to do this we suggest
installing a third-party software program designed to do this. Below
are some programs that can help users with doing this.
SplitView

SplitView is a great program that splits windows on your
screen and allows you to easily manage and display split
windows. The program does not necessarily create two separate
displays. But does give the user a much easier way to split
their windows and move them on screen. Once installed two
additional buttons will be added to each window at the top left
that can be clicked to split the window.
GridMode

GridMode is another excellent program and a free alternative
that enables users to split their screen into grids. Once split
up the user can drag windows into the grids and easily manage
windows several different ways. To drag to a grid move the
window to one of the edges of the screen.
nVidia Grids

Users with nVidia video cards installed with 3.0 desktop
manager and later can use the nVidia Grids to break up
their windows. To do this right-click on the nVidia settings,
open nVidia Desktop Manager, and click Edit Display Grids. Once
you've edited the display grids you can move windows to the
grids by holding down Alt and dragging the window to a grid or
right-click on the window bar, click nVidia Options, and
Maximize to grid.
