If you’re like me, you probably spend more time in front of your computer than you do driving, watching TV, or sleeping all added together.
I’ve been using “dual monitors” (2), for quite some time now and don’t know how I got any work done before?
So it’s time for me to update to a more powerful/faster system again and I was thinking if two is good, three must be better. After all, I understand that’s how many Bill Gates uses.
But then I started thinking…why stop there? Perhaps 4, 6, or 8? Searching for productivity research about “multimon” as it is known, I find relatively little written in terms of the ideal number and set up.
So I’m wondering if anyone else has thought about this and/or has experience with multimons? How many is ideal? What set up…one large in the center with smaller sides or all the same size?

I’m using two 22″ Widescreens (LCD) which I managed to snag an an unbelievablely low price from a major online retailer. They were factory refurbs but at the time I paid just barely above the price for one and got two.
Prior to that I was using a 19″LCD and a 17″ CRT but dearly missed my desk space. This upgrade recaptured my desk and I’m certain increased my productivity. My only complaint is that now I have to move my neck more
