I haven't heard of any updates to multiple monitors in 2013.  I am currently working on just one monitor, I want to get another one because I have heard its a lot better to work with 2.

It's soooo much better with two monitors. 

23" 1080P monitors are down in the $150-180 range. 

I put my properties and project broswer on either sides of the screen split, meaning that the volumes of the remaining windows are the same -- this is nice because I can drag views left or right without having to resize them, and it allows the full properties bar, without having to scroll down, and a larger swath of the browser bar, which can get hard to navigate on larger projects.  ...I can't stand it when people stack the properties and browser bars....

 

And the biggest improvement -- being able to have two views open at once.  I generally keep a section-boxed 3D view open at all times, and then, to the right, the most relevant 2D view for whatever I'm working on.  Very handy.  Watching changes from two persepctives also catches a lot of errors, I've found.

One of the guys here has been using dual monitors since 2010 without problems.  I don't have the extra card to do it. :-<

I have a similar setup on 24" monitors, altho i keep my project browser and properties on the outside so I can work in as many views as i like and doing a simple "WT" window tile always breaks the views up evenly.

I've used dual 22's for years.   I swapped them out for a single 27" samsung about a year ago and would never use 2 again.

I run 3 monitors and on my new pc which Im getting this week I can run up to 4 monitors off the single graphics card.

 

Do you just click and drag the Revit window accross the double screens as before?

 

Does Revit 2013 run dual monitors better than 2012? whats the differences?
