Is it possible to setup BBO so it makes use of two monitors?
I would need the main table + ads frame (if it's the must) on the main screen.
The secondary screen would have dockable scores table, who's logged on, chat...
The purpose is to send the main screen up the large plasma display for the elderly, with no panes switching required.

BBO does everything in one web browser window.

On some two-monitor setups, it's possible to have one window that goes all the way across one screen and spills onto the other... if so, you can just use a standard window and make it wide enough that the table is on the plasma and the results are on the secondary.

(That's a question of how your computer talks to the two monitors, not anything on the BBO side.)

As Siegmund mentions, you can do exactly what you want.

I suspect most people have the chat appearing below the table area,
but if you drag the divider down small enough, the chat area moves over to the right.
Then you will see tabs on the right for Who's online, Scores, and Chat. You can see
only one at once, this way.

You can also make the ad go away, I think, by renting a robot.

You can Google setting up two monitor on Windows or Mac to get the details on how to set them up.
You may want to try it first to know exactly what the steps are. If the screens have different
resolutions, you may need to experiment to get the setup that you like best.
