What type of dual monitors do you have?

[chuckywang]

I'm thinking of going dual for a while now. I'm thinking of getting a ATI 9800pro with a 17'' and a Dell 2005fp. Is this a good config? What type of dual monitor setup do you guys prefer for maximum productivity?

Ideally I'd like a big 21 inch CRT to play games on... and a nice, low power 19 inch LCD for everything else. I just don't have the money for even one of those, let alone both.

High-quality 20" CRT at 1400x1050 for coding, whatever quality 1600x1200 for monitoring stuff to the right.

19" crt for games on ati 9600, 17" lcd on ati 7200 pci for text.

I have a 19" CRT and a 15" CRT, though the 15" isn't usually active.
If I went proper dual, it would probably be dual 17" LCD's (or dual 19" LCD if they made some 1600x1200 ones).

1 2405FP and 2 2001FP's.

Love the look, and feel.

42" plasma and a 17" trinitron, not much for productivity but it makes for a nice media center setup.

I would recommend either get 2 same brand LCD/CRT, or two same size crt/lcd. When I put my 2005fpw and my 21" LCD together, LCD's brightness just killed the CRT brightness. Also, I can't work when I'm using 60mhz on my crt. So, by using 2 of the same type monitor would eliminate the problem.

I run my plasma at 60hz along with my trinitron at 85hz, I don't see why you would have to run your CRT at 60hz.

How did you set that up? I've a 6800gt. I put my lcd at left and crt on the right. So, my lcd is the primary display and crt is the 2nd display.

22" Viewsonic and a 19" Mitsubishi CRTs. I just use a cheap PCI card for the secondary monitor.

nvm, I found out that I need to setup my drivers as Dual View. But still, the brightness of 2 different monitor is kind of disturbing. My eyes are always focus on the brighter 2005 lcd.
