Ok, so I've got my little rinky-dink two monitor thing going.

It's sort of better, sort of not: the visual disconnect of having my vision jump from one screen to the other seems distracting/annoying. I'm not sure if it's really "better". The graphic disconnect of the TCP>lanes is disorienting, and just putting the mixer window somewhere else seems a chore, using it for effects windows are also sort of discombobulating.

It sounds silly, but having the combined 3" or so border between the two monitors seems to be a "big deal".

On the other hand, I'm thinking one monitor that is wide/continuous would be really great (not that I can afford such a thing - I'm using an old 13" circa 1994 monitor).

Has anyone here had such an experience with a wide screen monitor/preference? Anyone tried two CRT's and then went to two LCD's with narrower frames (closer spacing)?
