multiple monitors is the only way to go imho
|
I've been using one 21" and one 47" monitor for my desktop for the past 5 years. Also have my laptop plugged into the 47". The bigger monitor is wall mounted next to my destops workstation.
Great setup for multi-tasking and entertainment (Netflix, Hulu, uTube, Porn, etc.) |
One 40" monitor/TV
|
I have 50 inch full that you can see in left corner of photo below(no batteries in digital camera so I was using phone to make it, sorry , they are in bad quality) and three 24 monitors. Once I've got three monitors setup, I can't remember when was the last time that I've worked on big screen. ( and I've thought how cool is to work on 50 inch screen on half meter from your eyes until then).
http://s16.postimg.org/kqo1u0ao5/down.jpg Multi monitor setup is is so much better because windows is saving positions of your programs. You can move them around and actually having much more working space. There are so many things you can do with three monitors, for exmaple,: use first one to edit porn for job, second one to watch your favorite and third one to check content and see where it will go on between those two. I have problem with space to put all devices I am using, so I had to choose 24 inch screens, and I wanted at least 27. But it is fine. If you are going with three monitors, choose models that can be rotated. See example below: http://s14.postimg.org/s0hm4fsxd/image.gif |
I think that you should have one 27" and one 24"
One 30" and one 24" would be a-lot better If you are that cramped for space maybe a 30" and a 20" would work People said it would hurt my eyes, but I have a 39" LED Vizio television I've been using. The picture seems to be fine and it was not expensive. Nowhere near as sharp as a computer monitor, though, from what I have read. Far less pixels or whatever else. It's pretty tough, too, it survived being shipped on a greyhound bus (I only fly with a couple of bag) Going from a dual monitor setup back to a single monitor take a-lot of getting use to |
I wanted to have same picture on all monitors so It had to be same series. And 30 wasn't available at the moment. I can make more space by rearanging workspace, but when I've put all together (space, modern diplays, available formats, pivot option), this looked like best solution for me.

1. Better speakers. You spend all day in front of your PC. Treat your ears. I have a pair of Mackie HR624's and a pair of KRK Rokit 8 (both powered studio monitors) that I use as PC speakers. 2. Put your LCD panels together so there's no gap and the speakers on the outside. Here's a pair of mackie's in a PC setup, single monitor though. I have mine on foam pads that slightly angle them upwards at me, sound much better this way, as they're very directional. http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/ju...udioSOS_01.jpg |
Quad monitor setup 2 x 19", a 21" and a 23" shared between two desktops and my PS3. The 19" ones and the 21" one are on my desk and the 23" one is on a smaller adjoining table right next my desk.
The 21" is my primary monitor on my biz machine and is hooked up to a kvm switch. The secondary monitor on that machine is one of the 19" ones. I usually run tweetdeck/irc/outlook/WM player on the secondary while I work/edit/design on the 21" primary. A keyboard shortcut or push of a button on the KVM switch and my 21" becomes the primary for my gaming/webcam/media system. I use a VGA splitter to share the same secondary signal on the 19" and the 23", so I can watch tv at my desk or play a DVD or a youtube playlist on the 23". The ps3 is hooked up to that monitor as well through hdmi. It might seem like a confusing setup, but it allows me to utilize both machines. One monitor? Nah. |
Just one 22".

the more monitors the better. especially when you're editing scripts on one monitor, ftp and folder on another, and a movie/music or something on your third. it's much more enjoyable.
one monitor just doesn't do it anymore you can only do one thing at a time it's annoying. unless you like try to resize several different windows to fit on one large screen. but that would be super painful imo. |
I use 2 x 27" monitors at 2560 x 1440 each and love it. They are dual iMacs that can run independently or work as 1 big desktop which is my usual working mode. I used to have a few more monitors and computers but decided I hated the clutter. My new workstation is much cleaner now.
Consider this: When you're working, do you have to move, resize, minimimze / maximize windows alot? If so, you need to add another monitor. Adding a monitor will really improve your workflow. I have 2 big-ass monitors as mentioned and I tried a 3rd 27" monitor for a while. While cool looking, I found I didn't really need it. |
I might do 3, but have to get my wife a desk for her iMac as it is on my desk and is my 3rd monitor space. I buy an extra monitor I buy an extra desk. Might be worth it.
