I just saw some pictures of Xobni's office and one guy has 3 displays (possibly 20"). I know Mahalo uses 24" iMac's and another widescreen panel on the side. I use a 30" cinema display, what is your ideal monitor setup?

I got a 15 in MacBook Pro and am getting a 24 or 26 in HD TV to put in my music studio/office space to double as a second monitor (with the first being my laptop screen).

I have a 19" and a 28" side by side.

15" MBP plus 23" Apple Cinema at home. Plus a Mac Mini on a 22" HDTV/LCD combo monitor next to it.

I have a 14.1" monitor, and I'm thinking of downgrading to a 13.3" monitor. I use multiple desktops in X, but I've never seen a need for an external monitor.

A dual-head linux box (two 20" LCDs) and a windows box with a matching 20" LCD. Running Synergy as a virtual KVM so I only need one keyboard/mouse.

3 19" widescreen @ work. 1 24" Dell at home. However, I spend the most time (not by choice) working on my HP laptop (not even sure the size of the screen, company bought it) I'd like to get 2 more monitors for home but I just don't work enough there to make it worth it.

I found the 30" cinema display too large for comfort, for some odd reason. Now I use a 24" iMac with a secondary 23" cinema display to the left. Perfect for me.
