Productivity. I like being able to work on multiple things at once without having to alt+tab to get to things. Also, if you are working on something, lets say (as I was last night) building a web page, it helps to be able to have everything you need up without having to move screens around to find what you are looking for. Last night I had an HTML help guide up on my right monitor, my HTML editor up on my middle monitor and a web browser open on my right monitor. I could get quick help from my left monitor, plug in my code and test, bam, page pops up on my right monitor, I see everything without ever having to leave my editor and I can keep working. For me it is all about productivity.

I just got a second monitor for my work computer (they have finally realized that it can increase productivity and have given them to all of us!) and now I can work about 1/3 (if not more) faster because I'm not having to search for the info I need. I can have my coding info (what needs to be coded) on my left screen and be coding in my right screen and and I have to do is click back and forth. No shrinking pages, no trying to work with split screens (which really sucks on a 19" monitor), just get what I need from one, code in the other and unless I have to scroll in my requirements page, I can do eveything without ever leaving my coding screen. Frankly, I couldn't go back to using just one monitor, it would drive me NUTS!

Others like it for gaming, running 3 monitors in surround on an SLI set up is pretty neat (I've tried it, not for me) but I don't game very much and when I do, I prefer just to have the game on my center monitor, but that's just me.

Anyway, that's just my .

I'd love multiple monitors. I have a DELL U2711 and I want 2 more. I came from a 19" CRT to a 27" IPS panel and when I first started using it I was amazed at how many of my small windows I could open on the 27". Fast-forward a year and now I need more space on the 27". 3x 27" would be fantastic and will make a huge difference in getting work done more efficiently. If only I wasn't flat broke and my supplier (component distributor) didn't up the price (idiots actually trying to distribute the DELL at higher than a retail price!).

What would drive me insane though is using 3 different brands/types of monitor. I've tried before at the office and I think if you're going to go multiple monitor then make sure they're the same kind. Less strain adjusting to them.

This is my current problem. I started with an old 23" Gateway that I bought about 4 years ago. Last year I picked up another one used on eBay (as they don't make the model I have) for more than I paid for the original because I wanted matching monitors. Now I can't find the old Gateways anymore, so I picked up a 23" Acer, which I love, but now my setup is annoying me. I have the two Gateways on the sides and the Acer in the middle, but the Gateways are slightly taller and not as wide as the Acer and so they don't line up quite right.

I'm looking to get 2 more of the Acers, move the Gageways to my other computers and then get rid of the old square 19 and 15 inch moitors I have on those, but I have to come up with the money. Sure, they're only about $150.00 each but I'm flat broke right now.

And before the flamming starts (I know they are cheap, no good monitors by some standards) I don't game, I have 122 inch home theater screen for that, I don't watch movies, see previous, or anything else that involves high end graphics on my computer, so as long as they have a clear picture when I'm working in notepad++ or web browsing, I don't care how cheap they are.

I recently added 2 new Asus monitors to an existing Benq and they made everything on the Benq look yellow I ended up selling the Benq on Kijiji and buying another Asus. If I had known I would be buying 3 new monitors anyway, I could have bought some 24" for the same price well, you live and learn

I know your relationship is none of my business, but if were you I would explain to her firmly, but calmly that you are both equal and just like you allow her to enjoy her hobbies, she too should allow you to do your thing and have your man cave!

A couple of the PC room, will show the theater room later, after a clean-up.
