Personally, I prefer a dual monitor setup. I went from having three 17 inch monitors to a single 24 inch and now two 24's.
Does anyone else run a dual/multiple monitor setup?

Does a Dual/Multiple Monitor Setup Increase Productivity?
Personally, I prefer a dual monitor setup. I went from having three 17 inch monitors to a single 24 inch and now two 24's.
Does anyone else run a dual/multiple monitor setup?

Man, I don't know if it does, but that picture looks just amazing....
I have a 20.1" samsung and a 24" dell. I enjoy having two monitors as it definitely helps out for working in multiple windows. Unfortunately the smaller monitor is probably not used as much as it could be.
damn, ive seen it thousands of times before, but that is leet.
I didnt try two, bit it does look good.
No one can really multitask, because your brain only thinks of one thing at a time but can cycle somewhat rapidly, like say checking the time on your phone and texting at the same time while driving keeps you distracted for like 4 seconds and BAM! there goes junior's cat
I use to back when I had a desktop, got a laptop and haven't since then...I should again.
I don't know that I could concentrate on two monitors at once. That being said, I have no problem with the Nintendo DS.
Holy shit,
No but we have been considering getting that done. It does look cool and with how many things I usually have open and going at a time on the comp multiple monitors would probably be very good.
I have run one, worked very well, although, after a fail'd graphics card i'm down to one, i think it's great for getting work done.
Although Facebook is distracting.
i do dual dell 23"ers its really good for me cause i do 3-d modeling so i can have my 3-d programs on my main monitor and my browsers and chat stuff on the other
I've got a single monitor solution at the moment..I mean, I have a second (HDTV) monitor connected but I only use it for gaming.
wow, 24??
I actually run a two-laptop system. Two lower end systems doing different tasks.
i still prefer a single monitor since i use my pc for gaming and watching movies.
I run a multiple display, one with my IDE and coding, other for research/Facebook. lol
Supporting! hope you return the favor bro!
I run with a 23inch samsung and my old 19 inch on the side for minor things. I really like it.
I don't have the room or the cash to, but I have used multi-monitored systems before and still only used one screen.
I only run a single monitor at the moment. Kind of in-between on shelling out another 300-500 bucks for the second monitor right now.
New post up on my blog!!
I like this, awaiting your next update!
I think productivity relies more on the user, so it may be more productive, as well as less
I think the drill is who uses the monitors, not the monitors themselves
Well, what a nice battlestation.
fuck yeah duals increase productivity! you have more space derp :D
Why dual monitor when you can dual boot!?
I'm thinking about setting up my new PC with dual monitors. Let's see.
i dont think so
i use a laptop. but back at home i had two 30s to keep track of my stocks. feels good.
Always wanted to try dual moniters
I really want to do a dual-monitor set-up at work (i'm a graphic designer at a magazine, so i always have at least six programs running...).
problem is I need an adapter since my2 nd monitor is PC.
I have no idea what to do about that. Sigh.
I think that dual monitors with the old CRTs was crap, but with the LEDs it works a lot better
wow that's a big battle station, mine's small but quite efecctive!
That's so sick
never really thought of getting into dual monitors. might have to consider it sometime.
not at this time but I think I will in the future.
I only have 1 screen.
dual here and i love it but after seeing gscreen's dual screen (17"x2) notebook every other setup seems poor to me :]
Sometimes too much isn't good either. :P
what about TRIPLE monitor???
I run dual monitors. I think maybe 3 or 4 would be my max without it getting TOO distracting. i don't think I could live without dual screens.
nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'd be so pissed if i had this much monitors to look at
Yep 3D animation software, one screen for windows and interfaces, one for the actual work area!
No facebook, no web, no...whatever, 3D takes all my concentration
dual or triple monitor, ok.
but this ,... this is madness!
i run with 3 monitors and a wall mounted tv, i do compositing work, so i use ALL of the available space.
need that !
1337 setup u have there
I manage to get research papers done a lot quicker with dual screens as I have a screen for the text I'm working on and a wide screen for two windows of research.
i dont have room on my messy ass desk to run more than 1 monitor. if i can though i would run 4-6 monitors fuck yeahhhhh
I think 2 is enough if you're gonna have more than 1 :P
That's an interesting question, I guess it really depends on how well you can multitask, or if you are using both monitors on a single task that requires lots of monitor space.
Although I read a while back, that multitasking even with woman doesn't lead to greater productivity as the task as usually not as well done if an individual focusses solely on one task.
Mike,
Lifehack's guide to forecasting the weather without gadgets out now!
There is a moment when you have to ask yourself if you want to increase your productivity at all cost. Don't you think bro ?
oh hell no! 27" imac is good enough
I run single. It works good enough for me, so why set up a second one?
I run 3 24" LCD's. Great for driving and flight sims.
I really see no point in dual monitors unless you work in stocks or something in which you NEED to see multiple things at a time. Wtf are people like us gonna use it for, 1 for facebook the other for some game? No thanks, its a waste of cash and electricity.
If you're good at multitasking or doing multiple things at once its very useful. I could do with an extra monitor or two..
That battle station is WOW.....
I used to run 2 monitors, but now I'm a laptop man now, so that's a bit awkward to do.
I cannot get enough of these well done tech blogs. Nice posts, I will keep up.
Okay, that's insane.
I want.
Absolutely! Since I've been away from home (posting from an eeePC right now), I feel like my desktop real estate has gone from villa to crappy london flat.
Sucks to be that guys electricity bill!
I would definitely run a dual monitor setup if my computer wasn't a steam powered laptop designed in the 1800s. It does have an abacus though. Does your PC have an abacus?
As of now.... i run usually dual/single... im looking into having at least triple to a quad display setup.... that would be sexy.... and allow me to be more productive on certain things......
i dont have 2 to make the test =/
hmm, i'd like to be more productive. maybe i should try two monitors then. thanks for the info.
I would think it would decrease productivity if you just have no real reason to have dual monitoring happening. Like I make music, so while making music I have a reason to dual monitor. But if i'm just using my computer normally, no reason to have more than one screen open.
