I have more than one LCD monitor.
One on my desk, one on my wife's desk and one in a box in the closet.

There are times that I would like to have one, but those are not frequent enough to justify buying another.

I'd kill for a bigger monitor or dual setup at work, especially since I have so much crap open at once that I frequently access. At home, I'm more than happy with my 1920x1200.

This is what I have. I'd love to have a single big 30" monitor or something, but the dual screens was cheaper for my department to purchase, so that's what I got. I'm not complaining.

Using 1792x1344 on a 21" CRT at work. Highest 4:3 resolution I could get out of the on-board video without it looking like crap.

I'm running dual 18" LCD's at work, and running a Dell 2405fpw and a 2005 fpw at home; looking to upgrade to a second 24" at some point though.

i would get annoyed by the break in the screen if i used it as one single screen. might be ok if they were 2 separate screens but i really have no use for dual screens.

19" at work is fine and the 20" WS is fine at home. Wouldn't mind a bigger monitor for home though.

I had 2 2407s but I didn't like the dual monitor setup. I ended up getting a single 3007wfp.

I used to have dual monitors a long time ago. Went back to a single monitor and didn't miss it.

Just got a new 24" lcd at work yesterday. Nabbed a dual-head video card from a colleague who wasn't using it, and i'm in dual-monitor heaven now.
