Dual Wide or Big screen LCD Monitors
I'm about to get some monitors for my new system.
I'm contemplating of either go for 2 widescreens or ONE large screen. Either one of those will thus allow me to do multitasking. I'm now using a 17" and 19" LCD. But I'm building another system for the "hobby" studio and Work at the same time (programming and design).
I'm looking at either 2 of the Dell 2405fpw
or may be a large 32"+ LCD so I don't have to deal with the screen's borders. The sad thing is that I can't find any decent 32"+ LCD that is a MONITOR with good resolution and response - They're more like LCD TV instead 
What do you guys suggest?

I've been running dual 19" LCD for a while.
Next upgrade will be dual 24" Wide.
even when you shell out big bucks for plasma 42" the picture quality when used with your PC will be carp compared to the 24" or even a regular 19"

Yea, I too think the same. But westinghouse has this 37" monitor (not TV) for ~2G.

It's pretty good. But don't know how is it.
I think that I"ll be leaning more toward the dual Dell 24" instead.

1920 x 1080 on a 37" monitor = huge huge icons.
$2k is a decent price. I would still take the dual 24" for 1800 or less. But that's just me.

I'm too waiting for deals on the 24". Hopefully Dell will have these come around during Xmas. if a set is under 1500, I'd get it
Can't wait to test out my X850XT
