I have my home studio setup with two 19" I got back about 5yrs ago. I also have another computer that I have X1 on and it's a 23". After using both I have to say I prefer the two monitor setup by far. Even with screen sets I find that I am always clicking/pressing a key, back and forth, on one screen to do what I usually do on two screens with no clicking back and forth. Just glance over to the other screen. But I can say for sure that when I do work on my one monitor setup, screensets are a blessing!!

Two 23's - love it. Yet, it's sometimes still cramped.

I use one large monitor because I use near field monitors and I also need the screen close to my eyes to see it.  (I have artificial lenses in my eyes and they have a small zone at arm's length that is blurry.)  I have the monitor attached to a retractable, swivel arm that reaches out over the console.  Even though the monitor does not block the speakers, during final mix, I swing the monitor back out of the way so there is no splash or reflection.  Two monitors would be great but I don't see way to do that.

I'm hanging for my new GPU to arrive to have 3[again],instead of 2, 1xMain-24" Acer + 1x18.5 HD TV. 

When the new ATI 7770 arrives,I can then use the second 18.5" LCD TV,thats already setup, from when I just had the laptop,and stock,my Dell XPS L502x could do 2 EXTRA screens,due to having HDMI AND Mini display,which was like having 3 screens.

I was actually pretty dismayed,when the ATI 6770 graphics card that I ordered with my listed below desktop, could only do 2 screens,when a semi budget laptop could essentially do 3!

When I did have 3 with the laptop,the third one was just for plugins or whatever,but it was truly fantastic to have the extra space,regardless of the fact the x2 TV's are only 18.5".

Apparently this NEW 7770 card can have up to 6 displays![but with only 1x Dual DVI,1xHDMI and 2x mini display port,I only see options for 4 screens?]

If a GPU expert could explain how a card with only 4 outlets could have 6 screens,I'd love to know HOW they'd be physically connected,THANKS.
