I use two monitors.

One of these, brand new: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005110
And one of these, came with my first computer and had it ever since: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4454459

I've got them running in xinerama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama).

I wound up having to modify my desktop background in the GIMP to make it wide enough for my bigger monitor, then copy-paste the original onto the side so it would go onto my second monitor.


(Incidentally, has anyone ever gotten cairo-dock working in xinerama? It runs, but nothing shows up on the screen. I'm running Karmic right now.)

I`ve had the same two Belinea screens for over a year now.
It was supposed to be two 19"`s i bought but when the wife went to pick the 2nd one up a couple of weeks later the manager gave her the 22"(after listening to her ranting about the journey) because the 19" had never arrived.
3 inches for free:D

118247

Their only capable of VGA but they do me.

Up until yesterday 15, Everything from a 32" LCD to a 12" monchrome crt. The local electronics recycling center now has 10 of them. :) I've still got about 30 mixed ATI/Cirrus Logic/SIS video cards that need to be recycled

Aw man! I'd have been willing to pay shipping, just to get my hands on one! (Okay, maybe not.)

I use 3 full time, and have two in my shop, I'm starting my own computer repair business, and by this time next year I should be back up to 10 or so. Why is it that even though the electronics recycling center is easy to get to, people would rather have a "professional" do it for them?

2 Samsung SM2032BW's (20")

I love them, 3360x1050 is quite a nice resolution, I wouldn't mind a bigger one though...

I have .... (hold on while I count them) ... (need my calculator, hold on) ... (sorry, won't be long) ... yes I've counted them and I've got the number. I have a total of ... (trying to think of any I've forgotten) ... a grand total of .... 1. Yes, 1 monitor. I do have 5 computers though (2 laptops, 1 media server connected to my TV and an old headless unused machine as well as my main PC). My single lonely monitor isn't even widescreen.

Dual monitors connected to Edna... one is a fairly modern widescreen LCD, the second being an older CRT.

My main system is a quad-head. Currently, I have three flat panels on it, and the fourth is a projector for movie-watching. Mmm, 11 foot screen goodness! :D

The attached image is from when I first built the computer. It has a fourth flat panel instead of the projector, but the three other screens are the same as now.

I also have that fourth flat panel and an old Gateway 15" CRT that get used for whatever random use I might come up with. Not to mention the two laptops and one netbook that each have their own screens, of course.

Used to have a fair collection of CRTs, but got tired of lugging them around. Managed to give most of them to other people to use, only had one whose image was so ugly *no one* wanted to use it!

Just two screens for me, each attached to their own machines. My main desk can be seen from first link. The other two are close ups of each. On the right is my gorgeous Samsung 245T (a PVA panel), on the left is my Samsung 920BM, just a standard screen hooked up to my round the clock Ubuntu box. The 245T as you can imagine is hooked up to my gaming machine (booted into Vista at the moment of picture, also has Ubuntu on it). The rest of my desk is 2 G5 mice, one G15 2nd gen keyboard, an ol' logitech media keyboard (out of pics), and on the sides amazing Klipsch speakers.

Right (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b324/FFManiac1/PICT0009.jpg)

For the record, the 245T worth every penny I paid (got a nice discount), like art! Oh and ya, if there's any DoW2 players around feel free to add me.

I have 2 17" CRT displays. I think they cost like $20 a month to run. I have to invest in some LCD displays.
