19 on my pc and my imac is a 20. I dunno what I'd do with dual monitors. . . I mean I do video editing and stuff but I'm content with the amount of resolution I've got. Maybe if I was editing something over 30 minutes it might come in handy though. . .

I run two for audio production reasons mostly. I keep Reason going on on one and FL Studio on the other. Other wise in Vegas I use the second for a live preview.

Triple!

The right monitor acts as either a third for my main PC, or as the main display for my server (seen under my desk to the right)

sizes from left to right:
23 inch, 30 inch, 21 inch... well the left and right are guesses, I know the middle is 30 though.

Yeah I know, I gotta clean my room bad.

At work I run 2x 20" monitors. At home I just have my computer hooked into my 37" TV.

At both home and work I use dual 19" monitors for the pcs I use to do most of my research and writing.

(at home I also have the laptop and the gaming pc with a 36" Gateway Destination - come to think of it, I have a dual monitor setup with the home gaming pc too - I've got a 15" lcd plugged in to, especially because the gateway only does 800x600)

Dual 15s at home, but the 22 next to it is also hooked up if I want to watch a video or some such. Eventually I will update to more lcds, or those two other 22s in the closet. But first I will need a proper desk, not the mightlylite tables I am using right now.

Back in college, in 1999, I ran dual monitors with a 17" and a 15", but that was on a Mac. At that time it was a PITA to run dual monitors on Windows 98 because it didn't do such things natively well at all. Nowdays I only have one monitor worth viewing, so only one monitor at a time, though even Windows XP has some weirdness with multiple monitors that the old Mac never had...
