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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
