Do you use more then 1 monitor?
 

I currently only have 1 X 24" dell monitor and im thinking of getting another 24" -- rather then 1 big 30" monitor.

Suggestions?

I have two here at home, but they're both hooked up two different PCs.

Both are 30'' and I don't think I could ever go back.

I use 3..

Two 19 inch Dell's for my PC and a 24inch for my iMac. I will say one of the reasons I don't use the imac as much for development work is because it's only 1 screen. Even though it's a bigger screen it still sucks to only have one.

I'd go for the two 24's, once you go to two monitors you will wonder how you lived with out them.

I really like two monitors more than 1 big one. I didn't expect to either. I was forced to used two at my old place of work.

The deal with two monitors, is, instead of one large desktop, you actually have two desktops now. So I put my editor/dreamweaver/photoshop on one side, and I put my website or html on the other side.

Now, I have one workspace, and one "see the results" space. Much much better than having to click on the icons on the bottom and try to switch between windows.

Also, as far as resolution goes, I have two 24 inch, 1920x1200, giving me a total of 4 feet wide, 3840 pixels wide screen. I don't think you can get that in one large monitor.

Totally worth it for working.

I have 2 24" and a 22" .. so 3 total

on my main rig I have one 22 inch widescreen monitor in the middle and 2 19" widescreen monitors (one on each side) so three total for this one machine....I can't use less then two, I prefer three though

1 - 22 inch widescreen.
1 - 19 inch widescreen.

However they're hooked up to different machines.

Apple Cinema Displays ?? :thumbsup:thumbsup

Here in the office we have five - if you count the laptop monitors. Largest is a 42". I generally use the 22" Viewsonic for most work (hooked to an Acer Aspire laptop).

currently working on three monitors, one 22" wide, one 19", and notebook (17") screen - I love it :thumbsup

I am running two 21 inch lcds on my main pc and a 24 inch widescreen lsd on my backup. Once I switched to 2 monitors it is hard to work on just one. lol.

I have three 24".

Four if you include the laptop.

My Mac Pro is hooked up to a Dell monitor. I won them both, but still there's no way I'd pay my own money for the Apple monitors when the Dells aren't much different and about 1/3 the price.

The problem with the two giant screens is that I need two desks.

Yes I do. Just two at the moment, though.

I have a 22" and a 19"... I wish the 19" were bigger... maye one day when I am rich... lol

Agreed on that. I will only pay Apple prices for Apple Computers. Monitors from Dell use Samsung displays and as far as I'm concerned, they are the best bang for the buck :thumbsup:thumbsup

2x19" here, awesome to work with, i have no clue if i could ever go back to 1 monitor ;)

This thread is useless without pics! We need to see some wank-worthy monitor setups now.

Same here :thumbsup

I use a 24" and a 22" and could never work on a single again.

Ive got 2 24 inch widescreens.

adding the 2nd one was a GREAT idea. definitely go for it :thumbsup

I use 2 here, at first I figured it would be stupid, but once I set it up I'm probably never going back to 1...

2x 17" screens powered by a Matrox card.

DualHead all the way !! Once you get used to you can´t work with just 1 screen anymore.

:)

Ok, so it's a pretty easy choice then. 2 x 24" monitors it is. :D

Thanks guys. Also if you got pics of your dual setup, post them. :)

Dual certainly makes life easier

1 Macbook Pro 15.4 "

1 26 " Samsung

1 21 " Wacom Cintiq tablet screen

1 19 " Dell (for checking looks and surfing)

i use two, but tbh 95% of the time i only look at one. the other is just handy to be there for those 5% of times.

i bought second one, and it had different color contrast then my original monitor (different brands) and I couldn't get used to looking at 2 different color contrasts, so I returned the other one....

I have two on two different computers. My editing computer is offline.

i have only one 24"

I only got one..

I only have 1 at the moment. Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW 22" Widescreen. However I have my 37" LCD HDTV hooked up to the computer also. So, technically I have 2.

Funny thread, obviously no one here that designs "surfer friendly" web sites.

Design your sites on whatever walmart has on special, that's what your potential clients own and use daily. (or less)

What a bunch of sales gurus, :2 cents:

one additional 22 inch screen. thinking about getting another one

What model Dell 24"? I love it more than the 23" Cinema Display I have at the office.

I have 3 big 22" monitors, can't live without it for the last year, used to have 2 a few years ago...... once you go triple you can't go back :)

I have a 24" widescreen in the middle, and a pair of 21" widescreens turned sideways, one on each side of the 24" monitor.

I have 2 24's

In the office we have:

40 inch Sony Bravia
36 inch Viewsonic
24 inch Apple Home Cinema Display
and six 22 inch displays (LG, View Sonic etc)

and a few laptops (Mac, Dell, etc)


It's really hard to look at the little laptop screens after working on the 40 inch

dazzler :) .... jk

what do you use for triple head ?

triple head 2 go from Matrox ?

Dell 24" Entry (E248WFP) Wide Screen Flat Panel LCD Monitor (ANA, DVI)

It's NOT the ultra sharp.

Heya multi-display gurus, I need your help!
Working on a 22" TFT attached to my notebook [15"]
I have the smaller display in the front of me and use photoshop on the big one.
My issue is very annoying: some photoshop tools/windows are popping up on the smaller display... Is it possible to prevent applications from doing this? :P

I use three

UltraMon rocks !!

3 x 22" here

the 40 inch Sonia Bravia is wicked and the rest are set up pretty sweet also coz with that size and the cordless keyboard you can use/see it from anywhere in the room!

I have 2 x 19! Love it!

2 x 30" Apples on my pc and never want to go back
