Dual monitors - Worth it?

Definitely worth it - and very stable/sturdy. It gives you more space around the edges of the monitor on the desk, which it great for other things like USB hubs, wireless mouse/keyboard controllers, etc...

Indeed...What to do if you have three monitors, though...
 
My dual 19 Full size monitors. Getting a bit old now. :D

Oh you evil evil bast........ *spit*

Now I want/need a Dual-Quad setup... *mutter*

(I can never have enough desktop space unforunately)
 
OMG~lol that is sweet! :D

I think I would honestly get epileptic fits - and no, I dont suffer from epilepsy.

Using one LCD for Surfing and another for doing something else is just stupid IMO...

To me it works when you need to see both screens at the same time - like for example working in Photoshop while working on a 3D Model - or working an a 3D model while looking at reference art on the left...if you don't need both open at the same time, use the taskbar.

but to each his own i guess... :p

Awesome stuff. The only parts in there that I have are the chair and the Dinovo.

I only have one monitor at home. At the office I tried 2 panels for all of 1 week, then had to build a new machine which could only support 1 panel. It doesn't take long to appreciate more than one display especially when doing dev work. However, I wish there was a decent piece of software to allow proper task bars on all monitors.
 

+1 That program is awesome! I'm even thinking of buying the Pro Version.

But in theme of the thread. My setup works great. A 22" Wide next to a 17". There's a 50 pixel height difference. The 22" is the main monitor, and everything else is on the 17". It's nothing short of heavenly to code with a web browser or Library open on the next screen.
