For me it would be cheaper to just get another 19" monitor for a dual screen setup, but I'm waiting until I have enough to splurge on just one widescreen. I think it would be easier to work on than two. Plus it would be multifunctional for DVD's, games, etc.

I have one 23 incher. Windows in daws/plug/etc are generally so f**king picky and such a pain in the ass less is more. I use "god" for everything so having the monitor front and center works best.

I had dual displays but found out that they really sucks for normal tasks such as web and email because you're always looking at just one monitor. Now I just use one 24" display and if I want dual displays I have my laptop's display as a secondary while docked to the 24".

Analog synth or plugin? The elitists go silent when a blind test is involved.

I had a single 24" display, but found out it really sucks for video editing and big audio projects. Now have two 24" and one 42". Try to keep the VSTs off the TV tho. I don't care about normal tasks anymore - I need my space, man, for all my big ideas. HiHi

Just one monitor for me. Had a dual setup for a while, but prefer the simplicity of a single setup.

Dual monitors on my system at work, dual monitors on my DAW, dual monitors on the general-purpose/games PC I also have at home. All of them 19" screens except for one, a 24" monitor on the general-purpose system. Will be upgrading one screen to a 24" on my DAW some time this year.

To laymen, software development is something akin to wizardry. Neither time, nor effort are involved. If software is missing features they want, or has bugs, it is solely because someone has been too lazy to wave their magic wand.
