Single 21" but need a 2nd one, could be smaller but definitely need another one. They won't get me a 2nd one because then everyone would want one and they can't.... oh never mind.

I've been using dual 21" WS monitors for years, but I hear that my new setup is single 24" WS... Won't really know until I get there (tranferring to another group internally).

Dual 27" wide screens, with dual 21" wide screens out side those for email, tool palettes, etc.

comes in real handy during the Masters Tournament.  8-)

At home ;
Twin 27" and twin 24" portrait out the sides.
... sometimes I'd like a GPS on the mouse cursor :)

In town ;
A 24" and a 21" plus Wanda (17" lappy)


Should be good when I learn to type properly :)

2x21 screens (not wide)  They've been trying to take them away and give me a larger screen, but I like the setup as it is

22" CRT and 23" WS, used to have an additional 15" LCD, but the new video card requires some fancy displayport adapter to run more than 2 monitors.
at home, I'm running a 22" CRT and a 19" CRT
