I wish I had 2 monitors. :)

I can always pull out my sister's video card and 15" when working on "intense" projects, I guess.

I just have one monitor, HP M50 w/ a mic installed in it, pretty nice and I like it a lot!
ps. but it doesn't support any resolution higher than 1024 X 768 :/

i use a 19" sumsung 900NF at 1600x1200
and a sony trinitron 17" 1024x768
its a wonderfull thing to have
way to spoiled feeling sometimes though....

and it feels awkward when i'm stuck in the school computer lab, and don't have access to my home baby..

I run a 15" monitor running at 1024 x 768. I wish I could put it up a notch, but it still does pretty well at that setting.

I can't afford a new monitor, so I'm only using this 17" packard bell piece of crap. It gets hard especially when trying to code fullscreen direct3d apps...anyone wanna donate me a monitor?

Now having multiple monitors is a darn good reason for having a crapload of RAM! :)

I get one 17" monitor by ACER.. the quality ROCKS.. oh wait, it doesn't.

2 monitors, what a joke.. I can't even get more than 128MB in this POS. Someone tell me how they can manage to get P3 450's that seem to run worse than my compaq 233 with 32MB ram.

At home 1 19" running 1400x1050 @ 95Hz, and I think the other is 14" (damn small). Enough though as I never need to look at code on it, just put small windows on it.

At work, just 1 19" :(

Haven't been programming long, but I have one 17" monitor at 16X12. I could always use my TV as well though...if my AGP slot hadn't quit working.
