Somehow having two of the exact same monitor makes this seem more awesome. I thought of another guy with a two 30 inch dell monitors - Chris Pirillo.

When I'm working from home though I'll have both my computers going 20" on the desktop and 15" laptop (I dunno why, I like having 2 machines going). Sometimes I'll also fire up a portable dvd player (8" baby!) so that I don't have to take up valuable computer screen real estate to run a movie on the side. But no fancy dual monitor setup off of one machine. I'm just not that advanced, but with lcd prices being what they are at least the multi-monitor setup is more affordable than ever. Jase you gotta go triple screen for the flight sims! http://www.migman.com/hw/display/Matrox/pics/TripleHead2Go_005.jpg Typical guy post, talking about how many inches they got ;-P

Right now I just have one 19" at home which is starting to feel a bit small already just after one day. I thought of another multi monitor glamour pic: <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/workspace/al-gore-rocks-multiple-monitors-could-stand-an-inbox-262333.php" rel="nofollow">Al Gore</a> Nice, a 19 + 17 is definitely luxurious.

That would be heaven for me :) I have a dual CRT setup 19″ & 17″ and even though I would never want to go back to a single monitor setup under any conditions I would love to be able to swap up to even 2 19″ LCD monitors.

Two monitors with 1800 x 1600 resolution is definitely getting a 3rd out of the deal no doubt. You must have a pretty intense graphics card to run them that high! Thanks for the plug!
