This is a seriously immature statement. If you have never used Duel Monitor then you should try it. I have used duel monitor for about 7 years now and I could not imagine using one screen. Yes, the space is available but the application of having two monitors doing two different things at the same time is huge. For example, working in InDesign and photoshop/illustrator at the same time, have all three windows up also surfing the web for those images is huge.
Leading large raids in WoW was huge as well, as I can have Wow open on my main and then thotbot and ventrilo open on the other (i was always seeing who was speaking without overlay). For me it just came down to more information at my fingertips and multitasking.
As for this persons statement, yea, it wows my friends, but I could care less, heck, most of my friends cannot stand my love and hobby of computers and gaming.
BTW, here is a pic of my setup, this was on the day we were building it, so the computer is in the other room.
This is a Sharp 32 inch 1080p and a Samsung 24in 244t.
here you go
now that may look like i have no desk space, but remember thats a huge lcd and I still have loads of space for normal paper work. Its a big desk from Akia (dirt cheap as well and strong)
Also note these two monitors are ran using one 8800 gtx, but not while gaming with new games like bioshock or crysis demo. All other games like wow, steam game, etc etc can easily be done in duel mode. Still get 150+fps on any games but the two i menioned earlier with duel monitor.
