I like my current desk area, but I was lacking some desktop space especially since I added a MacBook Pro.  I decided to buy a dual-monitor stand so I can get the monitors off the desk, and they look good as well!

I grabbed this stand for around $50 on Amazon.

Cool device. I didn't know such stands existed.

Nice! Ordered the three monitor version of this stand on Saturday to try my hand at an eyefinity setup.

Speaking of multi monitor games I was wondering why I could not get Elemental to run at multi monitor resolutions. I tried full screen and windowed mode in various combinations. I was using and older card though (HD 3870). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will work with eyefinity.

ooo... tempting.  I've been debating dual monitors at home for awhile now... its a little hard to justify getting when I already have a 28in monitor, but... well... you know...

I jumped on the dual monitor bandwagon this past weekend. I was at Sams Club and noticed they had 23" LG LED monitors for a great price so I picked up a couple. I'm in display heaven.

Now to create some Dreams to match...3840x1080 resolution coming soon to a Dream gallery near you.

That looks awesome, but my desk-in-a-closet will only fit the 32" and the 15", but at least it's something!

Once you go dual, you never go back.  (I know, it doesn't rhyme)

Man, you fancy people with your big matching monitors...

I just have a couple mediocre ones that I picked up over time.

Where would I fit two 40" monitors?

I was at Sams Club and noticed they had 23" LG LED monitors for a great price so I picked up a couple. I'm in display heaven.

I've got one at home and I've put in several at work.  Great price, especially with the successive "sales" that expire and are replaced by better "sales".

These LG 2340EV have LED backlights, 1080p resolution, better buttons than the slightly more-expensive 2350s at NewEgg, and good menus.  I'm no color expert but our art-department Mac guy pronounced them passable after a few minutes fiddling with the adjustments, and his standards are HIGH.  Also they have DVI, VGA and HDMI, and an earphone that was not mentioned in the specs last time I looked.  With the HDMI cable I and headphones I can play blue-ray direct from my BD-player without involving the computer.

Be warned that they are too bright for many offices at factory settings, so cranking down the brightness can make them easier on the eyes in addition to saving about 5 watts, as measured by my trusty Kill-a-Watt.

It is a budget homemade multiscreen pc Win 7. I have great resolution and fully functional. I have a Quadro card powering this monster. Day Trading is my game and my system paid for itself.

Asus + PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card + 2 23in Dell + 21.5 Dell + 19in Gateway = Bad A$$.
