Who has them? Is it worth it? and What kind of Monitors?

Im thinking about selling my shitty dell one and getting 2 maybe 3 Newegg.com - Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)

Let me know!

I have multiple monitors but I use them mostly for work. Being able to have to look at multiple worksheets/screens/etc. As far as use for gaming I can keep useful info on the other screen while I game on the other. This allows me to see who/what is going on with my friends list/computer specs or whatever.

I could make due with 1 monitor but having 2 to work with just makes things easier for me while working.

If you are going to get LCD monitors go with 2ms response time or less. Also, I use two monitors at work but I plan on getting a third. So if you have the money get 3 monitors it can never hurt.

Use Two 22" LCD's for work. Handy for any number of things. Workspace is vital at my work, and when I am researching/programming really adds to the workspace you have to use. At work it's been LG's, also DeLLs. LGs are hit or miss to me. Same with Sceptre. DeLLs are expensive generally but pretty nice if you get the backmounts, swivel/adjustment models.

Home I have a Sceptre 22" and Panasonic 50" Plasma. Though not exactly dual monitors they are both connected to the PC. Can watch movies/TV on one while doing whatever on the other. Played BF2 on 50" once, lol was strange, esp without the mod to increase field of view.

Edit: I've used 8ms and haven't had any issues with them gaming.

a 50"!!!!

holy crap thats awesome..but ive heard size isnt everything (thats not what she said) when it comes to gaming.
so times you can get 2 big.

but in ur defense i know tangodown plays on a +40"

yeah, I use a samsung 40" OLED TV now for everything...I think that's why i needed glasses

haha jk jk

it is awesome though.

There isn't any room left on my desk though so i can't add on a second screen unless i get a bigger desk. But i used to dual sumsung 24" LCD monitors and it was really helpful. You can have your chats, vent/ts channel and whatever else open on one and game with the other. Plus if you are doing any kind of work, the extra space is always really nice. I would recommended them if you had the opportunity. You definitely won't be sad you added another one on
