Hi, I also use two monitors and feel that makes me so much more productive not to mention 'greener' as you don't have to print as much. I read somewhere recently that 3 monitors is the sweet spot... I need to invest in another one!

I can't image three monitors, but I guess it depends on what you do! My friend has two and loves the setup, but I haven't progressed that far with equipment yet.

I have 2 widescreen monitors so I am able to get 2 screens open on each monitor. I think that's more doable with my budget and space on my desk.

Thanks to this thread, I am now obsessed with having dual monitors. LOL

I am in the process of revamping my office and this is definitely on my to-do list.

My obsession is getting the better of me. LOL

I no longer just want 2 monitors. I was these 2 monitors!!!!! It's the Samsung Central Station monitor. I am in love with the whole concept but obviously I'll have to save my money (although they can be found for much cheaper than the Samsung link)!!!

I'm drooling!!! I don't have room for one, or three, of them on my desk though, I have too many already!

I, too, am saving my pennies so I can have two monitors. Currently I am working on a laptop, but really like the idea of having multiple monitors. I haven't worked that way since 1999 when I worked in credit and collections, but it makes it so much easier to get things done.

It's all your fault too!! If I hadn't read your interview, I wouldn't be so obsessed. LOL

I'm going to be saving my pennies for a good long while.

Hi,

I thought I'd point out that probably more important than having a dual monitor set-up would be to make sure you're presenting yourself well in the public arena.

Proper use of grammar and punctuation may not seem important when posting a quick comment on a blog or forum, but you never know who's reading... it may be a prospective client.

Stay sharp,

Tracy
