I had a similar discussion with 3XTom a couple years ago. He uses one big ass monitor and swears by it.

The only photo editing I do is with Lighroom, a little resizing and renaming. I like having 2 because I can seperate tasks. A lot of time I work on proposals and I am copy from Excel to Word and its easy to do if they are on 2 screens. Although Windows 7 has the option to split screen with 1 screen and I can probably do this easily with a larger screen. But I like being able to seperate. A lot of time I will put 'Work' on Screen 1. And Forums, Browsing on another monitor. Allows me to focus on one.
