I never finish anyth...

the problem with that is i dont know where to find one(and i dont know if my desk has enough space for another CRT(but im shure i could make some)).
and you reminded me, there is an old one here somewhere that has a green tint to it, no just to find it...
---edit---
maybe i should get a smaller wallet

Best is two portraits (or three if you can do it)
|
|

Two portrait and 3:4, 1200x1600 aspect ratio which is becoming more difficult to get hold of these days as the TV style widescreen aspect ratio is taking over monitor sizing.

I agree.
I have 2 widescreen 1080x1650 portrait monitors plus a 1280x1024 monitor plus the laptop screen (1280x800)
The 2 side portrait monitors are great for coding (one for Visual Studio, one for SQL Server Management Studio) then the 1280x1024 displays web pages and the laptop displays mail, chat or anything else. Thus:

Works great!

I got my team 2 19" LCDs on top of 2 23" Widescreen LCDs.
They are spread across 2-3 machines.
My monitors are:
-Top Left monitor is for email / inter-office messaging
-Top Right - Source Code Control / InstallShield
-Bottom Monitors - coding / obfuscation
We all use a program to use one mouse and keyboard to control all the machines without a KVM. Has really nice clipboard support as well (can copy & paste from one computer to the next... including files).

I used to use MaxiVista software. Now I use USB-to-VGA adaptors (which despite the name can actually run DVI and HDMI) so don't need the second machine any more.

Anyway I feel that too much space leads to some difficulties a well. look around is too messup for me. what you think?

I would quit if someone told me what monitor a given application had to run on while I developed.

I was just saying what my monitors are for. They can use them for whatever they want. I just made sure they have what they need to get everything done efficiently.

I currently use three (actually don't power up the third until I'm knee deep into something) but have support for up to 6 thanks to my super awesome ATI card. I can only use four monitors at maximum currently, unless I get two more DP monitors or two active DP converter boxes.

At work I have 2 17" monitors at 1280 x 1024.
At home I use my TV 32" 1920 x 1080 and a 19" 1280 x 1024.
I much prefer working with the wide screen resolution for Visual Studio. Yes I know I can move windows onto different monitors. But I prefer having it all on one screen.
Ideally, at the moment, I would like to have 2 22" wide screen monitors and one 19".

Work is slightly better, 2x24" vs. 24"+19"

I have 2 at each, but 2 24" at home vs 2 19" at work. Yuck.

I got almost the exact same setup at work and home. Once I tasted the flavor of two monitor development at work last year, there was no going back. I had to set up the same at home.
But I have been reading on video boards that offer 3 monitor setup (Plus Kick-Arse gaming experience). Once I read it, it's in my blood-stream, then there's no stopping it. Nothing can stand in the way of an idea whose time has come.

At home, I have an 21.5" iMac and a 37" LCD TV. At work, I have a 15" Lenovo ThinkPad  .
That means: I think my home setup is better...

Work - 4 monitors (laptop screen (1280x800)+ 3 (1080x1650, 1280x1024, 1050x1680)
Home - 2 (laptop 1920x1080 + old 'HD' TV 1368x720 [which can 'fake' 1920x1080, but it doesn't look as good])

The only people I have seen use 7+ monitors in person are traders, they love having at least 8 of em. Helps them watch the market, watch porn, book vacations, keep track of the baseball game, they really never need that many to trade.

I think that guy is just like a policeman or something that is just only watching "video monitor boards" to watch some images of the entrances

It's not uncommon in security industries, particually monitoring centers.
