USAGE SCENARIO
You’re a PC power user who loves to multi-task; watching your stock portfolio on your
favorite web site, opening up new interesting links, editing documents in Word and playing
the latest video DVD. But constantly having to resize all of your application windows with
just two monitors is starting to become a very frustrating exercise. With HYDRAVISION™
3.2 this former two-monitor limit is eradicated! Setting up and using your multi-monitor
solution as has never been easier!
