Who has the most monitors?
 

I just upgraded to dual-monitor and I already want to buy a third. I can see how going multi-monitor is so addictive. I really do feel more productive.

I heard Platinum Paul has FOUR monitors on his desk. Anybody here beat him?

I have three, on three different computers...

Going to add 2 more to my desk. Right now I have dual 22" widescreens, and 15.4" laptop monitor. I use one mouse for each, but the monitors are used for a total of 8 computers using kvm switching and the built in switching on the monitors between vga and dvi. Ill be adding two more above the two there now for a large square.

I've got 4 x 19". Wouldn't trade them for anything.

Nice. Now I can finally picture where you were sitting while we were chatting at the GFY party. :)

I was thinking of getting a 3rd 19" to match the first two, but now I think a nice 22-incher would look great in the middle. The problem is that I am still used to my old monitor which was a 22" CRT that did 1600x1200 (my ideal resolution). My new monitors don't support that resolution but combined I still have more desk space than before (both real and virtual desk space!). It is so hard finding any flat-panel that will do 1600x1200. But they are getting bigger and cheaper by the day so I probably won't have to wait long.

BTW Platinum Paul still holds the record. Anyone with FIVE monitors?

Check for Samsung Sync master 225bw monitors. Thats what I have right now. Around 400.00 each, and the resolution native is 1680x1050 you lose a bit of height but you will adapt to it quick enough. Running duals I have 3360x1050 I had dual Crt Sony trinitron 21" monitors before and one of the main issues was the crazy heat they threw off.

Nice !! :thumbsup

I'll hopefully be adding another one soon...

2 19" NEC LCDs
1 30" Mac Cinema DIsplay
1 42 " PLasma disply (hooked to the mac)
1 17" powerbook

I got 3 monitors running off 2 pc's.
synergy connects the lot together works like a dream :thumbsup :thumbsup

I feel left out with 2 17"flats each on different computers and my 14" laptop in the middle

Killer Set up man!

i only have one, and its a CRT! : D

no dead pixels here

No dead pixels here either. :thumbsup

When using monitors above 19 inches do DVI... VGA will look like shit. Especially at 24" or above...

Also, 19 monitors with 4:3 ratio instead of wide screen sucks... Open a notepad file you plan to do something with that has extremely long lines per row (columns per row). On a 19 inch 4:3 it will be on 2 monitors with the sidebars in the middle... On one 24 inch monitor it will fit within the monitors width and be easier to edit.

I use 3 .... 17" -20.1 wide - 17" i love it

Snapped this a little earlier :) 1 machine for processing, 1 for active work.

Some nice setups

My current setup I got 3 monitors.

nice setup!!

Only single for me, but sweet setups.

that is a real hot setup!

I've got 2 19" LCDs on the Dell XPS 700 and my 17" widescreen laptop open to the left.

I'm drooling over these 31" samsung widescreens. I want one of those in the middle between these 19"s.

I got 2 machine each eith 2 monitors..

1 has two matching 19in..

the other one has a 23" mac and a 20in xerox..

..it is nice.. I have thought about joining them all.. but I felt four would be over kill.. but anyone who has it.. likes it a LOT more than 2 monitoes let me know and I will try it for a couple of weeks
