    I personally use 3 monitors currently. While they are extremely useful for what I need to do (a combo of turking and gaming) the extra screen real estate may be a waste if you don't actively use/need it, and could present problems with needing to upgrade video card and such to handle the extra screen real estate. I guess what I'm saying is don't move onto to more monitors just for the sake of having more monitors, but only when you find yourself lacking space for everything.

    I recently thought about getting a 4th but instead got a laptop as a psuedo 4th monitor because to handle 4 I'd need to replace my processor which would bring the total cost more than $500 and yeah.. no.

    I finally downloaded PC the other day. Do you guys feel it is more effective to individually Panda each group ID or use the requester search function and let it go ham on any that it finds from the requester?

    Req search only works well for big batches in my experience. Like PFAs or something that will be up for more than a few seconds. zoltars go too fast

    I haven't tried the search function, but I heard it isn't great for contested batches. I have 4 different pandas, but I am not TurkGod, so take that for what it's worth.

    I think the trick to getting more is to start looking on HS/HF for something to do. :lol: It never fails.

    Requester search would also work well for stuff like SET masters or NoblisCV. Just letting it do requester search on anything could fill your queue with a lot of junk and also will not allow you you to specifically panda a HIT that is in high demand and will result in you losing out.

    Honestly, 95% of cases if you just do a requester search you'll get the HIT you were after, but the other 5% of the time your queue is filled with junk instead of the specific HIT you wanted from the requester will make you wish you had Panda'd the group ID.
    Each have their individual strengths and weaknesses and you should utilize the strengths depending on the situation
