So In a game I play called Archeage there's something you can do called trade runs, and I like to do other things while I play. The problem is, I can't make the window small enough so I can watch anime and play at the same time. So I'm thinking of getting a 1920x1080 monitor, in addition to the current 1600x900 one I have now.

My GPU is a Radeon 7870, and it only has 1 DVI port. My current monitor only takes DVI. When I buy my new monitor, how would I set it up so I have 1 game in full screen, and another thing like a movie on the other screen?

PS: any good 1080P monitors on Newegg or Tigerdirect? preferribly not too big since it needs to fit on my desk.
