Three monitors would be cool with my setup I can support 4 but I have just enough room for my two, with 4 of these 27" I would need to stack them for sure.here is a picture of my 60" long desk and they take up most of the width but they are less the and 1" thick so depth is not an issue.
OH and my wife thinks I crazy all ready. but finally got her setup with daul 22" actually every one in the house has that setup.

I use dual monitors and a Space Pilot Pro.
I am so dependent on dual monitors that when one popped on a Saturday morning last
year, I went to Office Depot and bought a new monitor.. and gave the boss the bill on Monday.
I tried to work with one monitor, but just couldn't do it.

I love my dual monitors! I usually have Mastercam open on the left and Cimco open with the post on the right. I do alot of developing so I love not having to click back and forth. Also, I post into Mastercam editor so my Cimco stays open all the time and I can switch back and forth easier.

I couldn't live without either my dual monitors or my Spacepilot pro.

I would also have 3 monitors if I could, maybe my next computer.

[Ron Branch @ Master3DGage]

I have a 3 monitor setup at work and love it. I can't wait to go to 4. I have the cards now to support it, just need to find another monitor.

I have a 4 monitor setup: 2 above and 2 below.  I am running Actual Multiple Monitors software so I have taskbars on all monitors.  At first I found I didn't use the upper monitors much, but over time I keep docking more and more stuff on to them.

When I am on the road, I have an AOC USB only monitor that handles the operation manager, level manager, backplot dialog screens.  It can't handle any intensive graphics but does just fine for extending my desktop.  It was only $100.00 from Amazon and is light weight and gets it's power from the USB cable.

I use 2 but with V9 I usually had 2 sessions up so I could draw mating details referencing the other without wasting trees printing. Now in X6 I can't do that, it gives me a warning. Now I just have my e-mail and the forum up on one, along with youtube vids occasionally and use the right one for MC.

I really really wish MC would support dual sessions on one physical computer again, it was the reason I got 2 monitors in the first place.

I don't think I've ever seen a "space ball" though I do remember a movie with a similar name.

At work I have dual monitors and a space pilot. At home I have a laptop with a single screen and regular mouse.  When I work from home I can really notice a difference in the time it takes to program a job. Dual monitors and a 3D mouse are the only way to go.

Is Daul some new technology I haven't heard of?


Stuck with 1 and a stock dell mouse....

[Mark H]

3 monitors, thinking adding a 4th (if I had room.)

That's an ancient language only spoken in california

How do you keep your desks so clean? I was going to post mine but won't out of embarrassment.

[CJep @ Prismeng]

Running second monitor with laptop, space pilot, Logitech V450 programmable mouse,
have a travel 3D mouse with a SSteel base that doubles as a non-lethal compliance tool

The best tool is the one you miss when it's not there.

Jamman, it does it just gives you a warning that you may loos something or corrupt one of your files. but this has always been the case. you will find allot of people here including me run more then one session.

I love dual monitors.

I am surprised with the amount of people that actually have them though...almost 50 votes in and 94% have them. I thought it would be closer to 60-65%.

[Jay Kramer @ Precision Programming]

Wowo lookinf at our pictures you would say we don't work. I beg to differ on that thought. lets see some more setups and if you are running more ten TWO we want to see those.

[Marshal]

I'm stuck with a single 30" monitor, there's been quite a few days when I could use a second one, or even a 24" or something.  Our print guy has 3 or 4 monitors over there at the moment, along with a second machine at the other end of his table to run another printer.  

I've got a SpaceExplorer that I absolutely love, especially for programming chains with MCam.
