Why have large monitors?
For me the answer is, I'm a programmer, a designer, a writer, a manager, an SEO specialist, a part owner, a developer, etc...
So I have usually 10 windows of chrome with about 4-15 tabs each. Each window is focused on one of my skill sets from above. Tabs are for employees work sheets, programming sites, developed sites, etc.
I also have Dreamweaver, Photoshop, many metapads, nifty stats, windows live writer, many putty, color cop, Excel, word, and usually 3-10 more programs running at once.
I am constantly switching from program to program it window to window of chrome. So much easier when you have screen real estate!
With an extra monitor or two I can get everything I need to do done in four hours. Without them it would be a gruelling 8+ hours. Fuck that!
My wife and I travel often, but not nearly as much as we'd like. Just waiting for the last chick to leave the nest. She's currently in her third year of college for a major in business administration with a lean towards accounting. My biggest decision will be to hire her or not. Not sure I want my family knowing what daddy does for a living.
I'll have to look into the ultra thin USB monitors rochard is using. Bulky 24" monitors aren't fun to lug around so I often don't take them.
