a 40 is wayyyyy to big when you are sitting that close!

I have 2 24"s at work and find it too wide, almost want to go to 2x22", or wish I could get 4x3 monitors instead of 16:9. I find myself scanning back and forth with my head cause my eyes cannot see everything at once.

I don't have a dual monitor setup at home cause I don't see the point, there's little I do at home other than email and surf.

I have a love seat with a coffea table where I use the mouse and keyboard from about 90% of the time. Min. Viewing distance is only 8' so it's safe for my eyes.

Oh the tape is just the screen protector shit that comes on it from the factory that picture was literally days after futureshop delivered it; plus I leave that screen protector stuff on till it falls off just to keep everything in best possible condition; I'm anal like that!!!!

I run 4 21" monitors..looking to upgrade to 3 dell 30" u3011 when they become a bit cheaper.

4 Monitors is to much, 3 is the perfect number imo. If you have the space and money I think a Tri-Monitor setup is the best Multi-Monitor setup to have.

Running 2 x 24's here. I will never go back to single display.

Ever.

Ok.

TOS'd 01-06-2011 05:48 PM

damnn, that looks pretty crazy, haha.

but yea, id prefer a 3 setup. since id like a main screen in the middle instead of the ends of 2 screens.

but 21'' is too small, im using a 21.5'' and a 19'' secondary on the side. id like something more like a 26'' monitor.

Ikkaku 01-06-2011 06:05 PM

holy damn that's a pretty awesome setup and another bleach fan woo!

my setup is the same as tos'd lol.. except my secondary is the 21 instead of the 19

Sky_2000 01-06-2011 07:49 PM

Bleach FTW!! Hopefully I'll be pimp like this guy by the summer.

I wanna get dual monitors too, would be so damn useful for work in the very near future. Buying new screen also means buying a new desk, this damn corner desk doesn't have enough room. :fuuuuu:

Wow, that is crazy wide. Very cool, yet I have no clue how you use that practically. I'd rather have them stacked.

Sky_2000 01-06-2011 09:10 PM

I used the middle two for my surfing, the one on the right i use to monitor my bittorrent/newsgroups/itunes, and the one on the far left I usually use for whatever i need at the moment. But when I'm doing design work I usually just take up the far 3 for what ever program I'm using at the moment. Most of the time I have Photoshop open, as well as illustrator so that takes up most of the space and I'll have Chrome open on the far left monitor.
