Best Tools for Managing Your Multi-Monitor Setup?Having dual, triple, or even more monitors can be a productivity boon, but it's not without quirks. Despite the increase in multi-monitor-friendly features in current operating systems, you still have to tweak and tune for a smooth multi-monitor experience.

This week we want to hear about the tools you use to manage, tweak, and tame your multi-monitor setup for maximum usability and productivity. What tools enhance your miles of screen real estate? Share your favorite tool and what makes it so great in the comments below.

Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: X. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: "Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Five Best Home Inventory Tools.
