i originally had two 15" CRTs, then one 17" LCD and one 15" CRT, then one 17" LCD and one 17" CRT... then today i bought another 17" LCD cos yea the gap was annoying and the CRT was only SVGA (1024x768).

i have got a lot of desk space back, but unfortunately the cable included was too short so i have to wait until tomorrow to hook it up. i like the two monitor thing and think the only advantage to a single widescreen would be if you also wanted to watch movies on it(oh and saving power!).

you really have to check out the resolutions of the monitors you are looking into to see how much you can fit onscreen, for example i was nearly going to buy a 19" widescreen monitor but the vertical resolution is actually worse than a 17" 4:3, and i'd rather have both monitors with the same resolution.
