I tried to get the price for home purchase and got the following message.

Dual 21's using a "horizontal span".  Three won't fit on the triangle stand on my cubicle desktop, besides which the ends would be outside my field of vision so not very useful.
If you are going to fly by the seat of your pants, expect friction burns.

You'd probably have to order the updated version which is LED backlit: http://goo.gl/NnIgA

Thanks. I like everything about it but the 8 ms response time.

Dual 24" Dell widescreens
(U2410)
Would never (intentionally) go back to one.  COULD make use of one more, but I'm certainly happy with this setup.

**Sigh**
I went from 3 monitors (23 in the center and two 20" turn portrait on each side) at my last job to two 19" with my current job.
I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

I no longer CAD or Model, I just hang out here picking up the empties beer cans

Still better than a cardboard sign.

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-)

Can we see a picture of your layout?
Kinda messy, but...

Single. 19"? 21"? Not sure, doesn't matter.
Since I work primarily on flow diagrams and zoom/pan works like a dream with my wheel mouse, I have no problem with that.
Futzing with hardware/software to make everything work right is a PITA, so I like to keep it all as simple as possible.
Then again, I'm a CAD dinosaur (from the DOS days) and can make do with whatever is at hand...
