I'll be first :) (When did Thid become a mod?)

Running two 23" E2311H monitors. Very nice for the price, and no dead pixels in either one. Colors aren't quite a perfect match, but a little calibration fixed it :)
 
I use my 42" LCD TV atm, once my daughter turns twelve we will be moving her into a bigger room and moving my son into her room, then it is time to turn his old room into my man cave where I will run a different setup, of course that is five years away.
 
You should use Synergy to connect the mouse/keyboard of those two systems.
 
I would but I use the secondary for while I am playing games or whatever. A majority of the time when I am not playing games or anything like that, I am using Windows 7 with both screens. Also, I don't have X start at boot because that would just be wasteful :)
 
I have deal 22" acers, I just mounted them on a dual screen stand so now both the screens line up perfectly.

Even though multi monitor stands can be a bit pricey they really improve the feel of the work area, as when it was just 2 screens standing on a desk they would always end up out of line, having them mounted in a screen stops me from acidently missaligning them, I have had multi monitor set ups since 2007 and since adding the stand yesterday this is the first time a dual screen set up has felt complete. I plan to adjust the stand to make the screens a bit higher but over all I am very happy with it.

I have just ordered UK Filco Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless, NKR, Click Action, Keyboard which should get here soon, probably going to replace the trackball with something more fancy later on.

Here is my current setup. Not sure if I want to change them, add more, or leave them. 2x 24" BenQ Q2400w monitors. This picture is a bit old. The only difference is that my computer is in many parts and there is a lot of random computer parts and tools all over my desk, which will get cleaned up when I feel like it.

in the last 4 months I've gone from a 14" lcd square to a 19" benq wide and finally the 21.5" samsung lcd i got from my work.
 
just one 24 inch dell ultra-sharp display I just surf and game on it I don't see a need for 2 monitors yet.

but that could change in the future never know.
 
Up to "four" now.

24" viewsonic main
19" BenQ T903 secondary
15" Gateway FPD1500 tertiary
50" Hitachi Ultravision Plasma TV/Monitor that I use on occasion.

And yes, they all run at the same time.
 
How do I change my vote. I recently moved to a nice new 27" Yamakasi Catleap Q270 SE IPS display.

Loving it :D
