What kind of monitor do you have?

[Calliope]

I'm surprised by the number of double monitors the Desktop thread has, so now I'm curious.

[Pumpkin]

I have a single computer monitor.

[Ayen]

One monitor, flat widescreen.

[Dr Unne]

Two actual monitors, because my wife confiscated my third. Plus laptop and tablet, dunno if those count. My dream is for my office to look like an IMAX theater.

A second monitor is a great upgrade for a computer. Better and cheaper than a new CPU/graphics card or whatever.

[Aulayna]

I have 2, 1920x1080 ones. I do a lot of Photoshop and occassionally video stuff so it helps to have two.

[Shorty]

I use dual monitors forwork and I will never go back to using just a single. At home I just have my laptop.

[Nicolas]

Uh... what if I have most of those?

I have two monitors (going to get three new ones for this computer), a laptop, a tablet, and a big screen for one other computer.

But seriously, it's so annoying using one monitor after using two. It's like only using one leg to walk all the time. [/bad example]

[Calliope]

Nico, what the hell do you even do with all of that?

I use one laptop for 98% of all my computer use. At work, I use a computer with one monitor. I have two tablets at home that I scarcely use, and if I really wanted to, I could connect a monitor to my laptop.

I'm literally not sure I could do my job with only 1 monitor at work. I have 2 for my primary workstation, and several more around me.

At home, of course, I have a single gigantic television, which was carefully researched to not suffer from any blurriness, lag, or anything else that could potentially cause a problem with a large TV as a monitor. It's a lot more fun to have everything in all my games be giant and crisp. I wouldn't really have much of a use for a second monitor at home.

I use my flat screen TV at home because it is easier for me to do. My laptop is my best piece of hardware by far so I just run an HDMI cable right into the TV, prop back on my couch and watch some internet stuff, game, or post!

I don't see what is so weird about it. Much better than sitting at a computer desk for long periods of time. Plus, although there is a good amount of physical work in my job, I also spend a lot of time at a computer. So when I get home, I rather be SUPER ULTRA COMFORTABLE!!

If I am not on my TV (99% of the time that means my laptop is out of my home with me), I am obviously using my laptop, which has a pretty big screen. I am happy with my set up, but I am sure someone is going to chastise me for not living my life exactly like theirs. So I'll say it right now: If you think I need a desktop computer as my main one, go right ahead and buy me one! ;)

Exactly this, I would find it more weird for people to have a giant flatscreen and NOT to use it as a monitor, I also use my laptop for when I'm at dialysis/friends place.

I use the two monitors for my main computer at home. A tablet is mostly for when I go out and I want a computer or something with me. I use it in the bathroom as well. :D? The laptop is what I use when I'm not at my desk for whatever reason. Though, I mostly use it when I'm in bed. The big screen TV is hooked up to my HTPC, which houses 90% of all my videos and music. It's great to do all that stuff on there. I also have two monitors for my workstation... so there's that too.

Everything is has a solid purpose for me. It's actually pretty nice. I would like to upgrade to a better laptop and main PC, but that's just me. :D?

[Jiro]

I wish for a multichoice poll also. I have a laptop and I'm currently using a single monitor on my desktop though there's a tv sitting around that I'm considering hijacking. I just have no idea how that actually works...

[CimminyCricket]

I just have a 28.5in LED television as my monitor. Anything else is too big/small and I use it for more than just my computer - it also gets used for my PS2 and my game cube, so I didn't feel bad buying it.

[Fonzie]

Two monitors, a tablet, etc etc. I enjoy using the second monitor as a place holder for Skype or various adobe programs I have to use. The tablet is exclusively for pornography. :)

[Shiny]

I have two dual monitors for editing -- one of which is 1920x1080 and I have a laptop. At work we use up to three to four monitors.

[Denmark]

I have a laptop which I hook up to/extend to a second, larger monitor from time to time. When I'm at my desk, it's nice to have the 2nd monitor, but I also like the portability of the laptop. It works fine for most internetting. Dat screen real estate is excellent

[Pike]

I have one monitor which I have had for the last eight years and it isn't even widescreen!

However, frequently, though not always, I set my laptop up right beside my desktop, and have both of them running at the same time. Plus my smartphone.

This is all just at home - my job does not involve computers in any way.

[Madame Adequate]

I have a 1920 x 1080 widescreen monitor. I didn't like it at first but now I do like it. I should not have tried to get used to it when I had a massive awful headache!

[Hollycat]

I use a 24 in. 3d PS monitor for all my gaming.

[Shlup]

No one uses just one monitor on a desktop PC these days. The very notion is just insane! This is America, Nicky. Get with it!

BJ and I each have two monitors. We also have a computer hooked up to the TV in our bedroom, which we use for various fabulous things. Now he wants to get a tablet... which I am undecided about.

[Psychotic]

I use my laptop, and the PC I still have at my parent's house still uses a gigantic old school box of a monitor :D

[Parker]

I have a crappy laptop. I need at least one extra monitor
