triple-monitor setup
excuse the mess.
this photo somewhat demonstrates the triple monitor setup i have been running since ~2003. the video card that powers the 3 18" LCDs is a matrox parhelia 512 256mb agp card. the stand the monitors are mounted on is an Ergotron triple monitor stand, which i highly recommend.
the windows desktop spans across all 3 monitors rather than mirroring 1 desktop on 2 screens or just having the other screens as empty space. the bundled software allows programs, windows, etc to remember their locations and to maximise to fit either just one panel or to maximise across all three screens.
this setup is particularly handy if you try to do a lot of things at once (like i do) or like having tons of screen real estate. i can run email on one screen, itunes/winamp/whatever + AIM on another screen, and leave the center screen for web browsing. did i mention that this arrangement is downright incredible for photoshop?
total resolution = 3840 x 1024
