I have two atm, but trying to convince the wife to let me bring in my spare 32" LCD TV (which has HDMI input and a decent resolution) to use as a mega large CAD display so when my boss and I are talking about something, neither of us have to squint.
Why would you bring something from home? I can see if it's for you personally, but for the situation you describe... I can't believe the company can't sport the $300

True, but I have to scrounge for even small things.

@Bill-Kindle still it's their money lost on you lacking efficiency. All you did was justify them not buying what you need because they managed to get it to come out of your salary.

Exactly. I will do something for my own personal gain (for example I bought my own chair because the crappy ones the staff get here are just awful). But I won't be buying a projector so that my meetings with my boss are easier to see.. if anything, I'd find the smallest monitor around, and swap it out to where ever we are meeting so hopefully they will allow it to be replaced with something reasonable.

I used to have 3, but I actually prefer my new 2 larger monitors to the 3 I used to have. They completely blocked my view of everything in the room, and I rarely used the 3rd one.

This inspired me to ask for another monitor

I am watching so many people, webpages (think ML, SW and various others), email, lync, and Skype. 3 monitors help me keep organized.
-
With my current work flow, I do not feel a need for more than two right now. That said, If I need to start keeping my notification dashboard up more than I do now I will be getting a third.

@Carnival-Boy LOL

@Minion-Queen What sizes?
-
2 of them are 27" 1 is a 28"

I use dual 27" 1080p at @Dominica desk.

@Minion-Queen Thanks! I see I missed an earlier post as I made you repeat yourself!

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.

we're about to do that for the first time have a second monitor to h_p pro 1 600

@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.
