2 Sources, 1 Monitor?

[staz]

Is there a computer monitor that can simultaneously display a 2nd source? I would like to be working on an Excel file while live DirecTV content is displayed in a corner or even split screen.

Have you just considered getting a dual monitor??

Prefer to have a single screen, but would consider a dual monitor as plan B

There are a number of Picture-in-Picture monitors out there, that's the phrase to google.  
 
Samsung makes a few, some also with split-screen and quad-screen capability:

This ASUS does, too (among others):

I'm not sure what your vision situation is but I'd probably recommend the 2 monitors.  I've found that my vision is getting worse so I just replaced my 20inch monitor with a 27inch and found that its really great to be able to use a bigger font and still have more desktop space.  Which is why I'd suggest the 2 monitors so you arent squinting and straining your eyes to try to look at a tiny picture because over the long haul your eyes pay for it.

No they won't.

My eyes disagree because clearly the issue isnt me getting older, so there!
