BDB do your eyes not get strained by having to move or look over so far? I guess you may have smaller LCDs. Do you have two 20" LCDs?

mine are itlted in a bit, however its nearly impossiable to use both at the same time when gaming, because virtually no games support that

heres an older pic
setup is the same now tho just in a different room

the dual monitors at work are turned inward.

at home, it's like - (large amount of space)

(second monitor is an old 19" CRT that I found in my parents garage... I use it for watching television on)

21 and 19 in CRTs

Doesn't seem like it strains my eyes....I can turn my head some too.

I have my 19" on the left, with a 17" on the right. About 10" of space in between monitors, with them angled towards me. I don't know how a lot of you here can stand to have your monitors right beside each other with no space in between. I have never tried picturing my monitors as one wide-ass desktop, but as two completely seperate desktops with which I can work.

I've decided having dual monitors would be odd, since your center of view would be off. I think Triple monitors would be cool though, or some other odd #.

I have my Powerbook in front of me looking like this - , then I have an 1800fp plugged into it like this \. I use my Powerbook's screen for my main applications , and the 1800fp for stuff like aim, music, pron, etc.

Using dual monitors as a contiguous desktop is advantageous when using an app with a timeline, segmented progress bar or similar elements.

BTW, my primary monitor is dead on in front of me and the secondary on the right and slightly angled.

inward

 

[Mo0o]

The few times i tried dualies, i had them slightly inward, feels more natural that way.

 

[TwiceOver]

Last time I had duals they were placed X X
