I use mine for research and writing. Word in one window, a web browser in the other.
If I'm not doing homework, I'll have a movie or a playlist going in one monitor and a web browser or graphics program in the other.
If I'm working on a big graphic, then the graphic will be in one monitor while the tools and pallet and stuff will be in the other.
I find it better than having two separate windows opened in the same monitor. It allows me to organize the windows between monitors. It also allows me to have a window full screened in one monitor while having some other windows opened in another. It's just to increase the amount of workspace.
Although, we have this really big monitor (32 inches :P ) and dual monitors with that is pretty useless, unless your watching a movie on the 32 inch and working on the other monitor.
My brother and I usually use one monitor for media
and the other for work. On rare conditions, one's for word processing while the other is for research.
