"Our firm has purchased two Compaq PCs in the last six months.... One last question — how many of you use multiple monitors on your desktop? Is your setup worth the money? What size do you recommend?"

"I recently went to two Samsung SyncMaster 213T monitors. I work at a built-in desk behind my "client desk" so I mounted both monitors on the wall, one straight ahead of me and the other at about a 15 degree angle on a heavy duty swing arm...."
I use two monitors and will never go back. I use my laptop screen (15") and an extra 17" above it. I found that I couldn't deal with a side by side arrangement because I can't move my keyboard and I would get neck aches looking at the other screen when it was on the side. The stacked view is great. I haven't gone paperless yet but this helps tremendously.
