30" is too big at a desk unless you can sit at least a metre away from it.
Cool thanks for the insight guys. Any suggestions on how to set up my background pictures so it is a different set of pics for each monitor in Win 8?

Do you guys always use up the two/three monitors? Or are they just for gaming?
I kinda know that coding and 3d designing would need a lot of space, but can't think of anything else that could actually utilize that many displays. :|

http://www.displayfusion.com/ will do it but I'm sure there's a free solution somewhere.
I'm also using two 23" Ultrasharps for my setup at home as well as for work. The increased productivity you can get from these is just insane.
1 22" Samsung and 1 24" Samsung (main). I have no idea how I managed to be on my computer before when I was just using 1 monitor.
Usually have games or fullscreen streams on my main and then chrome,skype etc on my 22".

just wait until you get a third monitor, it's so glorious.

The sweet spot for me was a 27-inch monitor in the middle, flanked by two 24-inch monitors on each side. I saved some room on the desktop by mounting the monitors on Humanscale M2 monitor arms.

haha, I have a 27 inch in the middle flanked with two 22 inch, dat ppi bro.
Yes, but you're just a punk kid with rich parents.

I'd rather have 2 x 30" versus 3 x 24" :P
For some reason 3 gave me problems.
I routinely use 3 monitors per workstation setup and this works well for my work. Each workstation has 3 computers (one each running Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows) and 3 monitors. They are configured so that each computer can use 1, 2, or all 3 monitors. In some situations, I want 1 monitor per computer, and I link the 3 OSs using Synergy. In other situations, I want 3 monitors per computer, in which case my primary monitor is in the center and secondaries are on each side. For example, I might be writing a paper on the center monitor and using the secondary monitors for such things as browsing for references, e-mailing research collaborators, doing technical drawings, carrying out statistical calculations, or posting on GH. When I am using multiple computers, one might be for routine office applications, whereas others might be carrying out computationally intensive tasks to provide input for other projects. All of this works because the graphics cards in the workstations can handle 3 or more monitors each (ATI Radeon 5870 in the Mac Pro, Nvidia GTX 680 in the Colfax, and 2 x Nvidia Quadro 2000 in the HP Z420), each monitor is switchable, and the computers are linked via both hardware (Iogear) and software (Synergy) KM switches.
Previously, each workstation had 2 monitors, but the center was the space between the two. I also tried putting one of the two in the center of the desk with one flanking monitor, but I did not like the asymmetry. I am much happier with a symmetrical setup consisting of a central monitor and two flanking monitors. The monitors are mounted on adjustable M2 Humanscale arms, so that they can be temporarily repositioned during work sessions.

Indeed! Every task is easier with multiple monitors! That's the best upgrade you can give to yourself on any workstation.

I actually went back to single monitor and found some things easier.
But returned to double so I can have a video window monitoring the elevators (mainly for security reasons).

True, although I don't think I've seen any using an elevator yet, and the door to the fire escape is locked.
Second avatar today?
The video window is also why I went back to landscape on the second monitor. In portrait there was not enough useable screen real estate left do do much.

TYM was complaining
Work/Home (same thing, I work from home):
3 x U3011 30" 2560x1600 monitors in landscape.

Alas, it's strictly a work rig. No eyefinity stuff, they're just all running off a 660ti. I've posted a few pics before, but here's one I just took since moving over to my new Steelcase Series 5 desk.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/azspdE0.jpg)
Don't hate on my cables, I know they're a mess :(

What is this eyefinity?
I've been doing triple monitors for quite a few years now without experiencing any pain or discomfort. But then again I've been typing for over 10-12 hr a day for 15 years without any pain either.
Thanks a lot guys. My wallet is really going to be hurting now. After the KeyCon and the wife winning a set of caps she wants a TKL with reds. Now after seeing how you guys have your monitors set up I moved my second monitor from above in landscape to beside in portrait and now the wife wants another monitor now. I don't know if I can work enough extra hours to pay for this stuff.

1 : Work hard
2 : Upgrade her machine
3 : Please woman
4 : Receive unlimited amount of bacon and blowjobs
It's a win/win deal i guess.
Money is only pieces of cheap alloy and paper. It's worthless versus the gain.

So true but when do I get to upgrade my machine?

My friend, you get to upgrade your machine all the time. Any occasion, do it. Boost that little baby, even with older hardware. You don't need to spend a lot of buxx to upgrade your machine a bit. For major upgrades just make sure to give that metal-**** some shinning-new-crazy-insane-hardware, but expect to pay for these. If you need money you can always sell your body.
You can also add a second slave machine to your machine just so it runs as its little *****. Mine as a Mac-Mini G4 used for multiple purposes but it's my main computer's ***** (Main computer is IronMan, Mac-Mini is IronMan's-*****). Just like you have a wife (lol it ain't a slave but it kinda does slave work with concent). It's used for multiple servers, holds some tools, netboot, archiving... you know classic home server stuff that my main machine can always relly on to give it ****ty work to do.
