Might as well have gotten a CRT.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

One.

Note that the 22" on top of the 24" is just placed there to illustrate how ridiculously fat the 24" is.

In a short while, I'll be running tons upon tons of 22-inchers. The caps in them have started to fail much like they did in all the 17 and 19-inchers I own.

I'm bad at utilizing pixels. But my official excuse is that I like being able to compare four or five data sheets at the same time. The triple 19" rig at my workbench kicks arse for that.

Actually, I didn't pay for any of them.

I have three screens. Works really well. Media on left, web browser in the middle, XFire/Misc on the right. I never have to minimize anything.

For me trying dual monitors with my old 1280x1024 and my new 1680x1050 was more of a hastle than a joy....

Could be because of the 512mb ram on my 4870

But tbh I have no problems managing my windows on 1 monitor...

Why would it be a problem? I'm running two of my screens off of a 128MB 8400GS.

In windows, no problems...

When playing games... ~30% drop in FPS since the card is still running the other monitor out in windows...

It's the same result as having a 1920x1080 monitor, too many pixels for 512mb...

You're doing something horribly wrong, I've ran dual 1920x1200 monitors on my 260GTX and never had a single issue.
