What game is that?
It reminds me of an old Nintendo game... I think it was Gunsmoke or Gunsomething...
I think know what game you're thinking about. I thought the same thing, but isn't that blurry object a ship?
Wasn't sure, but thought it could've been a ... cow or horse skeleton... you know... They're like the "miscellaneous wooden crates" that are everywhere in a more... urbanised game.  Gotta fill up the screen with something!

In my new (2nd?) office I have a single 24" WS and open my laptop (17" WS) for Outlook, Explorer, etc.

Default setup is twin 21" at 1600x1200  I occasionally supplement this with a 17" laptop which I'll use to display mark-ups - gets confusing with 2 mice on the desk though!

Did a stunt a while back where I swapped one of my monitors for a 6ft projection screen to allow a bit of 'design by committee' Didn't like the resolution the projector ran at though 1024 lines - ugh!

Couldn't take the difference in screen size going from 24" WS to 17" WS (at the same resolution), so I went to my other-other office, and brought one of my 21" WS monitors (top pixel rows aligned)... Laptop lid stays closed now.

I am fortunate enough to have 3 Flat Screens. Two 25" with one 21" on the right.

Because of the type of work we do, I typically have 2 CADs running with a Text Based prg on the 21". Though, there are times that I have several, (6 or more), CAD running on all 3 screens, two CAD per screen.

I am very fortunate in that my boss gives me pretty much what ever I need to improve my speed.

then try this
It lets me run 4 monitors on two computers with one mouse and keyboard.  Very helpful.

That looks cool, but they might start expecting twice as much work out of me..

I downloaded it, I've just got to get around to getting another network cable over here so I can use it.

24" Acer + 17" Samsung rotated, they fit perfect. 24" is a main. I'm using small one for Windows desktop and system stuff.
