Many folks will keep their tools open on one monitor, and the actual graphic open on the larger monitor. And this approach is pretty inexpensive. A good, basic large monitor with a lot of pixels is not expensive. It could even be a TV if you have an HDMI out on your laptop and the TV has an HDMI in.
Just a thought that might be useful as you do more. I have a 17 inch Mac and my eyes are reaching a point where it is starting to seem small. Wonder what my wife would think if I moved the 50 inch TV onto my desk? Hmmmmmmm. <grin>
