Dual Monitor Setup?

Do you sport more than one monitor?

What was your reasoning for it?

I ran a dual-monitor setup for quite some time. It was simply more effective for the work being done and allowed me to spread out the open windows instead of having to open and close so many to switch out.

Right now, however, I have 2 desktop and a laptop spread across my desktop so I have little room to redo the setup .

I currently run 2 displays. If I can get a third I will be running three. Having multiple displays makes my life as a developer sooooo much easier. I can have my code in one screen and documentation/demo's of the code in the other. This makes it much more productive for me to code than a single display like I have @ work.

I run two at work and I love it.

I only have one at home. I doubt my home system can support it, but when I get a new setup, I'm certainly getting another monitor. I almost feel like it's a "must have" if I care to get serious in the "forum world".

I run two, and it makes working on sites a lot easier. Do not have to keep opening and closing windows. Eventually I would like both to be widescreens, but only one is.
