I am debating which way to go. I already have a 17inch (samsung 700ift) monitor and I just received 19in monitor (P900). So I was thinking of running a dually off these, but then I bought a 17in (dell w/ sony trinitron tube) off someone for really cheap. SO, I am trying to figure out what's the way to go on my main setup. Any suggestions? Wouldn't it be awkward to do a dual setup with a 19in and a 17in?

Btw. I do everything on these machines: graphics, video, games, surf, etc...

cneo, for your main setup, I would suggest using your 19in monitor as your main monitor and the better of the 17in monitors for your second monitor. This way for example, if you were surfing the web, you would use the 19in for webpages, and the 17in for e-mail. Just an opinion, hope this helps.

I agree with Zim Hosein. If you have the desk space, that's what I'd do.

Can you do a triple-monitor setup? ;)

haha, I would like to see that... I remember on a movie preview (I think it was Operation Swordfish), they had this sweet 10 monitor (or so) thing...

You know I'm not even sure if I have desk real estate for the monitor(s) haha... I may have to redesign (tear apart) my computer des
