Default Possible dual monitors

Ok so i have been through the idea of one large monitor or a dual monitor setup and i have finally decided to combine the ideas. In that i have one large monitor and then a smaller monitor to the right hand side mounted in a portrait fashion.

However, i do not know what sizes i should be looking at, ideally i would like the bezels to match up and ideally i would like the same branded monitors. (in a perfect world they would also match resolution wise, but the chances of that are slim i know)

I have been looking at Samsung and Dell monitors but i am still open to opinions.

For those who are unsure of what i mean look at the attached image

Thanks in advanced guys, you always seem to help,

Nostrano

Try the Dell 3007wfp and the 2007fp vertically:
http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=...0&postcount=33 and http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=...0&postcount=24

edit: Also, you might just get a 24" and a 4:3 20" and forgo the portrait mode. The bezels may not match up, but they should be about the same height vertically.

I would recomend two monitors, TR did a review saying that two smaller monitors (22-24'') work far better than one large monitor (~30'').

I would recomend two Samsung 2253BW's, their excellent monitors, and at 22'' their sized optimally.

Also this monitor should be slightly cheaper if the 2253's are a little too spendy (I only have a Newegg link, sorry)

Acer screens are fairly cheap and not bad, I'd recommend them.

Am I the only one who noticed that in his game the pictures did not line up and the 20"ers had different coloring?

That would drive me crazy! LOL!
