Is Roll20 able to play solo?

What I mean by solo is I want to use the mapping ability the players see on a second monitor from the computer I DM from.  I am thinking of using an unused 35" flat screen TV in a cradle facing up on the table.  I would put Plexiglas over the top and the players can put their figurines on the Plexiglas using as a battle board. So none of the players would be logging in to play because they all come to my house to play on this cool new came aid.

Our group uses a tv with plexiglass and minis laid flat on the gaming table(we fabricated a simple stand for this) to show maps, handouts, images, etc. This may help:  Using Roll20 while Playing In-Person
That is exactly what I was looking for.  Was hoping I could do it with just one computer but I can live with using two.   Thank you kindly for the reply
It can be done with 1 computer if you duel screen, i've done something similar trying to stream having 2 browsers open and logged in to my account one in the normal gm view and the other rejoined as player

This eliminates the possiblity of the wrong view showing up on the off chance of an accidental browser refresh.

You can also use a private browsing window for one log in.
I may try the dual browsers. I was wondering if that might work.
The two browser windows worked perfectly.   We had a great game Sunday on a digital batlleboard.  Thanks for the suggestion, and now those that can't make it in person can still play.
