Old computer monitors may not be as large or attractive as new models, but most remain usable for years, even decades after they were manufactured. Here's how to repurpose your old computer monitor.

15 Practical Things You Can Do With An Old Computer

Why have one monitor when you can have two? An old computer monitor can often serve as a second display after you purchase a new one.

Almost all modern computers can output video to at least two displays. Often laptops require an adapter or dock to use another monitor to make the second display accessible due to a lack of ports on the computer.

Placing the old computer monitor to the right or left of a new monitor is the most common choice. However, you can get creative and purchase a third-party monitor arm and attach it to your old monitor. This may allow you to position the old monitor above another screen or turn it into a portrait orientation.
