Is four enough?
leapinlew:
I think I've come around to wishing my dual screens were 4:3. The widescreen is mostly wasted in landscape and I don't like portrait since it messes with remote access. At home I use dual 24" 16:9 which replaced my dual screen 19" 4:3. I've been using it for about 2 years and thinking about adding a 19" 4:3 in the middle flaked by the 24".
I wish 4:3 monitors were still around. I prefer them.

I'm with you on that one. I don't game on my computer and rarely watch videos so to me 4:3 is what I would buy if money were no object (because there are a couple large 4:3 LCDs out there but they're expensive!)

Arrrggh, I've been wanting to do this for a couple years now but just haven't been able to justify the cost of a second monitor. Soon...

Yeah, I used it that way for a bit, but went back to landscape mode. I guess mainly because that's what I was used to.
However, I'm a programmer, so most of my work tends to need horizontal space more than vertical, so I much prefer widescreens in landscape for that.
On the other hand, If I get a 30", As I understand it, a 20" is the same size horizontally that a 30 is vertically, so you can easily place a 30" in the middle with 2 20" screens on either side in portrait orientation and things "line up" better.
Here's hoping I can get there soon to try it!

Agreed... I wish we could get back to the hi-res displays we used to have, and get rid of this "1080" crap... for years I had a pair of 21" CRTs on my desk that each did 2048x2048, and being forced to switch to a pair of 24" LCD widescreen 1920x1080s after our flood a few years back was like taking a f'in step backwards by ten years.
Although I'll admit that the extra width is nice (2x widescreens is like having 3x CRTs wide), the drop in resolution is just crap.

Does Windows support monitors stacked?
