Weekend Open Forum: How many displays are on your desk?

Used to run dual 19" screens but my new desk doesn't have the room. So I just use the second one for another PC on the side. I do miss it though, gotta find a way to make room =P .
 
At home I use a single monitor, which I mostly use for gaming. I connected my HDTV with HDMI to watch videos or play some games (racing, etc) on my couch. If I need to browse for something while I'm gaming, I just use my Archos 5 IT.

At work I use two 19" monitors, which really makes my life easier, especially when editing two documents at the same time or keeping an eye on my emails.
 
I have a 30inch Dell monitor. I've been wanting to run a dual monitor setup but I feel it'd look weird having a 24inch right next to a 30 incher. And on top of that I've been lazy(I already have the monitor), I'll connect it today and see how I like it.
 
I only have one 23 inch Acer but now that i see this and how convenient this is I will surely give it a try when or if i get around to it.
 
At home I use one 22" 1920x1080 monitor and at work 2 x 19" 1280x1024. I like my home setup better. I do feel cramped when using my netbook when traveling.
 
I had a significant diving accident Memorial Day 1963, and must be careful as to how far, and for how long, I bend my neck. However, I have a combination that seems to work well: 3 LCD panels. In the center is a 22" HP Wide Screen monitor (1680x1050) and on either side are two 19" panels with "classic" aspect ratio (1280x1024). And I twist my chair 90 degrees for the 1280x1024 on my Max OS-X machine.
 
I use a single 27" monitor in front of me and another 24" monitor on the side. I use this setup heavily for multitasking but I still play games on a single monitor. This combination has served me well for over two years, before I used a similar arrangement of dual monitors but of a smaller size.

Recently I've been thinking about upgrading, but I wouldn't be sure where to begin. The monitors I use are not last generation, but were mid to high end when I bought them. I like that the 27 incher has a large dot pitch, so text is readable from a good distance, so maybe triple 27 displays will do the trick. Now I have to see what the budget permits. We will see ;).
 
Running quad monitor on my desktop - 24" (1920x1200), 2 x 20" (1680x1050), and 17" (1280x1024). Wish I had some matching monitors so I could try out eyefinity.
 
I have one 19" monitor(1440x900) and until I upgrade to my next video card I'm not bothered about going any higher, Running this on a GeForce 9800GT.
 
"I'm running a 19inch monitor, I want to move up to three since my 4870 supports it. "

How are you planning on doing that on a 4 series radeon?
 
2 x 17" LG Flatron L1752S. I've had those for years now. At work also got dual monitor, one you feel the experience you won't go back to single.
 
I live in a condo and thus have limited room. My main custom built computer has a 17" generic monitor I paid $70 for at Tiger Direct and works great. I have an older Dell which I have a 19" generic monitor attached to. Ever since I got that one the screen goes blank for a second every once and a while. I have a crt monitor attached to a computer my brother gave me from 2000. I also have a non-netbook laptop which I think is 15". I don't usually use the Dell or crt monitor.
