I recently broke down a bought another Dell 24" widescreen LCD the other week. I've had a single 24" widescreen for over a year now and it's been awesome. But, I was ready to move up. Dual monitor set ups just kick ass, on principle, for games, movies, work... really pretty much everything.

As far as job performence is concerned, dual monitor set ups kick ass because they increase productivity by helping you organize your work better and lessening the need to swap between applications. Simply put, if your job requires you to spend an absorbant amount of time at a computer, a multi-monitor set up can seriously help you rock the casba.

But, don't take my word for it:

Others concur!

• Coding Horror
• LifeHacker
• Microsoft Research
• Various other studies...

I first used a dual monitor set up on the job a few years back. I had to fight to attain a second monitor and video card for my machine. Then, I sneakily installed the thing myself without anyone's permission. I got hardcore yelled at by my boss, but it was so worth it. Now, it would be painful for me to go back to using a single monitor on the job.

To make Dual Monitors even Better:

Get an App like UltraMon to get a taskbar going on each of your monitors. This will further help you partition and organize your work!
