Hell Yeah. RHEL at work, MINT and Windows 7 at home. RHEL and Mint already had multiple desktop, Win7 just needed the add on. The 20-30-20 triple monitor setup is still my favorite. A single 30" widescreen in the middle, flanked by 20" non-widescreens in portrait mode. Not my picture: http://i.imgur.com/DQW3J.jpg?1 Quote HistoryQuoted:

Not long at all. You will love it and want to add a 3rd before long. I have 2 24" monitors and a 27"... if I could fit a 4th one on my desk, I would have 4.  Why not just get a 65 inch tv screen and plug into it. Resolution sucks. What kind of monitor and system are causing the suckag? |

What kind of monitor and system are causing the suckag? 65" at 1080p is the same resolution as 24" at 1080p, but at desk-viewing distance, the pixel pitch on the 65" makes it look like you're watching through a screen door. You'd need 4k to make it worthwhile. |

I run 4, but it's one big 30" screen in the middle flanked by 3 vertical 20". IMO, odd numbers work best for multimonitor work.
Once you use more than one, it's very, very hard to go backwards. The only time I use a single now is when I'm completely mobile and using the laptop, and it hurts my brain when I do so. |

I wish I could find the picture, but I'd have to scan it...
Win98, three CRT monitors, one stacked on the second and the third to the right. It was a pimping setup for '99. |

They took back all of my monitors when I lost my job a few weeks ago. Now I have to find a new job, using just my single monitor. It's driving me crazy! I need at least three screens.

I run two monitors at work.
I would do the same at home, but I lack the desk real estate to do so at the moment.

Was just thinking about that a couple days ago. Never tried it.
My wife had 2 at work and gets all pissed off when she has to do work at home with her laptop. A couple months ago they took her second monitor away and she isn't very happy at all. |

Taking away one of my monitors is like losing a limb.
It should take less than 60 days to become completely dependent on the secondary monitor(s). |

Three screens is the sweet spot. I have four at work, hardly ever use the fourth one though.

I've got a four monitor stand, but it doesn't work worth a shit.
Anybody know of a reasonably priced, four monitor stand that will hold at least 24" monitors, including at least one TV (which are thicker and heavier in general)?

piece of advice--put your main working monitor directly in front of you at your desk, and use the other as a peripheral. i always sit square with my primary workspace.
honestly, in a month you're going to wonder how you ever made do with 1 monitor. |

My dream setup would be about a 50" 4k on the bottom, and 4 19" or bigger above it.
I would switch between one or more of the four smaller monitors on the big one. |

This is where I'm at. I don't want to block the two side book areas on my desk. It sucked at work for a long while when I had one nice wide monitor and an old crappy square one. The different resolutions pissed me off to no end. It's nice to have a bunch of terminal sessions open on one screen while watching Wily on the other. I would like at least one more, though. |

I'm using a dual setup at the place I'm freelancing at...it's taken a bit to get used to, but now i really want to make it happen at home.
Having all my indesign/illustrator/photoshop palettes handy on their own screen and a whole screen for just the work is *nice*. |
