I handle a lot of code and mix/match data from various sources. I'd run three screens given the opporitunity. For programing/design it allows me to source code while keeping an eye on the end result.

Two screens (though three would be better) are also great for the technical support and database mining I do. Sometimes I have to draw from up to five sources at once to properly collate data. It's nothing compared to being a saute' cook with 20 pans going at once all different menu items with different ingrediants and different special instructions.

I used to use 2 * 22inch lcd's in an extended desktop but now I use either my lappie or desktop with either an dvi cable or hdmi to a 54 inch LCD screen in projector mode. Programs like S1 , R5/ R1.5 and even Maschine look fantastic.
The mixer channels and vst's are cool with less squinting. Plus I mainly stand up to work but when I'm sitting down I have that sweet spot with the JBL's .

Cheers

Design (rare):
Left the Pictures, right the tools

Webcode (rare):
Left the browser, right the coding tools

Audio Engineering:
Cubase: left the arranger, right the mixer and the plugins
Wavelab: Left the wave files, right the master and the FX

In short:
I'm forced to work with one screen at the moment. But since I started working "dual screen" on a Matrox card, I never looked back. It's way more fun to have room on the screen. Less mouseclicks also.

Only setback is to get identical screens if you want to upgrade or if one is damaged and you can't get the same display anymore. I fear the days where one of my 16:10 LCD dies - there're only 16:9 available - but they have a higher resolution than my two 22" 1680x1050 ones. So even more space on screen.

how do you have them set up? after following the studio guru videos that IL link to, I don't have enough space between the monitors for monitors. If you see what I mean..

That is, unless you open multiple browsers in each screen so you don't have to hide everything in tabs. I used to only use a single monitor for web-browsing when running dual displays, until I realized how cool it would be to have music folders, skype, and media player opened simultaneously with IE.

I use two 20.1" HP LP2065 screens in a span. I would love to get two more and mount them to the wall above the current two to create a monitor grid. God that would be awesome. I can't imagine ever going back to a single display.

I think my mom only uses one display but I use two.

I only hook up my second monitor for TV and film scoring projects as a dedicated video screen. I would like to get a 40 inch plasma for my main monitor though. my eyes are getting bad.

I use two screens. I can't even imagine going back to working in Cubase with just one screen.

If you're reading something in one browser it will always be on one side, you will never be able to read anything in your center feild of view.

Are y'all muthers runnin' two video monitors these days?
