I love your desktop background F2B.

Vista 64 bit and office 2007 in a duel screen environment is also very very good. I can see business adopting it in the next couple of years, infact some of our sites have rollout plans for next year.

Even general admin, hr personnel at work are asking for duel screens now. Increased productivity is one excuse maybe, but to be worth it you have to know how to use it's advantages!

I'm running XP (Windows Blinds) with office 2007. Our purchasing department has been converted to dual monitors.

I have that same Acer monitor, got it right before they stopped carrying it, right after my return period was up i got two stuck pixels(lime green) I have tried everything to get rid of them. Only bugs me on a black screen but still!

Dual monitors is great just make sure they are the same resolution and size. Like dual 22'' wide screens

Otherwise it looks weird and it messes with the eyes.

I massaged my pixel out in my Acer, no problems since.

Also, I won a $100 gift card to Best Buy from Dice.com (will be receiving it tomorrow.) and will be picking up another 22" monitor to match my 22" Westinghouse. (I will be selling the 19" Acer. )

Two monitors are the only way to go. I'll probably be getting a third dell 24" monitor with my next computer build. I use a whole monitor just to watch TV. I'll probably have to build a custom stand to hold all three of them.

I have dual monitors myself.

My dad works in a datacenter. Himself he has 9 monitors on his desk.

2 of these on his desk

And 1 monitor in the center.

What he does? He's a computer analyst. Basically he monitors all the servers and runs jobs for well servers and our StorageTek tape silos.
