    Number of Monitors: 2
    Screen Resolution(s): 2560x1440 and 1280x720
    Screen Size(s): 27" and 19"
    Number of graphics cards: 1

    I have the 19" in portrait and it almost matches the size of the 27" but not quite, the 19" cost me 40 quid though so not too worried, looks pretty good anyway.

    Im amazed the amount of people that see my set and say 2 screens WTF!!!!11!! and then the look of delight on their faces when they drag the cursor from one monitor to the other. I know not everyone has 2 screens but you'd think more had at least seen it before.

    Mind you I went to get contents insurance the other day and the guy in natwest saw the value of my comp and said "whut?! is it a macbook or something" yeah because any computer worth more than £400 is a macbook nowadays.

    Screen Size(s): 27" & 19"
    Number of graphics cards: 2 (GTX680 & GT520)

    Had the 27" for a while and wanted a second screen for browser, vids, iTunes, etc. so I bought the 19" and originally had it portrait but got fed up with webpages being lost off the edge so now have it horizontal. Two graphics cards as I originally powered the 27" off a GTX570 and didn't want to compromise performance with adding a second screen.

    I have a Samsung SM 2232BW and a Samsung SM 2233. Cheap TN jobbies, but I'm afraid I might see how crap they are if I buy a better screen...

    I actually think it looks kinda cool. I have never seen that display before, just the iMac coloured ones.

    Number of Monitors: 6 + 1
    Screen Resolution(s): 3840 x 2048 + 2560 x 1600 (though I sometimes run it at a lower resolution)
    Screen Size(s): 6@19"(about 51") + 1@30"
    Number of graphics cards: 1 + 1

    This is actually over two computers.
    1) 5870 -> Matrox TH2G + Matrox TH2G -> 3@19" + 3@19"
    2) 5770 -> Dell 30"

    Computer 2 is controlled from computer 1 through "Input Director".

    The setup in Computer 1 started with a 7950GX2 under Windows XP and was even successfully tested with a 6600GT :hehe: (just because I could).

    Number of monitors: 2
    Resolutions: 1920 x 1080 + 1024 x 768
    Screen size: 23" + 19"
    Ratio: 16:9 + 4:3
    Graphics card: 1 x HD7770

    I actually used to have another 19" CRT next to these, but I removed it since I practically never used it.


    I'm amazed that the majority here has two screens and more. When people see my 2-screen setup, they'll often go: "Wha?! You have two computers on your desk?". Ah, sweet ignorance...
