            My upstairs bedroom office has two monitors one is wide 24" and one is old school 20.1". Both are the same vertical size and resolution so it works great.

                    @Dashrender I have a client that has a worker out of state. They sent her an AIO PC W8.1 and a USB 2 VGA adapter, but not the Startech adapter i suggested. The one she got is some off-brand that has no support on their website. Oh and first USB2VGA device that has not worked.

                      I've been buying Tripplite Displayport to VGA adapters so I can reuse the older monitors I have around here. I've had no problem recently.

                      2+ years ago when I first started using Displayport - I hated them... They would constantly reset, loose connection. They (the royal they) have finally got the bugs worked out, I think.

                        I've added a second monitor to a Touchsmart 9100. It had a DVI out.

                          At my old job before I left I had dual monitors.

                          Two 22" wide screens. I didn't like it very much compared to two 4:3's ideally 1600x1200 resolution but can't really get them anymore or they cost a fortune.

                          At home I had/have 1 x 30" Apple Cinema Display (linked to my Macbook pro, but do not like having two different size monitors, so keep the lid closed) and I do not like it. It is too big, I find my eyes moving too much if that makes sense, even though I am quite far apart from the monitor. Managing various windows seems easier on dual screens for me.

                          I am currently looking to change this setup to dual screens, seen that dell have the new slim bezel, still widescreen which I do not like, but might consider that.

                          Another change I will be doing is moving from OSX at home to Microsoft. I prefer the management of windows and dual screens on Microsoft.

                          Do you prefer 16:9/16:10 or do you prefer 4:3 for IT work (not movies)

                          Thanks,

                          G.

                          (I've used the word "Windows" when I am talking about the different elements such as finder/browsers and so on. I've Used Microsoft when I actually mean the "Windows" OS, but I didn't want to confuse the terminology and keep it consistent.)

                            Gabi definitely has a point about using dual 4:3 screens versus wide or ultra wide screen monitors. Like her I dislike the fact that without spending a fortune I can't get more than 1080 lines of resolution on a desktop.

                            I currently run a pair of 22" monitors in HD res. I'd love to have a pair of 27's, but only if they had a higher res than HD.

                              Yeah, @Dominica uses 1080p monitors but I use 1200p monitors. It makes a difference. For work, the vertical resolution seems to make more of a difference.

                                  It makes the most sense for more vertical resolution for things like spreadsheets or page layouts. They were doing great.. the manufacturers where increasing it well.. then they reached 1080p... and just stopped.

                                    HP and Samsung that we use go to 1200p in many models. I love 1200, it's really slick. You notice the extra resolution.

                                        For work purposes and the maximizing of realestate, have you guys seen the new 21:9 resolution monitors?

                                        http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005396

                                        This one specifically is a 2560 x 1080, but they also make 4096 x 1080 models.

                                            Anyone considered becoming old-skool cool and reverting back to a single 15" CRT monitor.

                                            "You can't beat CRT, man. This new stuff just doesn't look right......"
