Ergotron Triple Display Stand - Black
$299.99
I'm currently using a single 24" screen. I was under the impression by the specs given that I would only be able to fit three 20" screens on it. 20" screens are kinda small after viewing a 24" for so long... Even if there are 3 of them. I took a chance and purchased 3 22" Viewsonic VX2233wm monitors. They all fit with an 1/2 in to spare!! The unit is nice and sturdy and rather good looking. Has multiple adjustment points. I am extremely pleased.

Apple Cinema 30-inch HD Flat-Panel Display
$1,799.99
This monitor is used primarily for photoshop, and also wow gaming. As a wedding photographer, I spend lots of time in front of a monitor.

This monitor came from an upgrade of the hanns 28" monitor which is a steal of a deal at $330.

The apple monitor is substantially more expensive. Even the refurbished one is 1400 after tax, which is 4-5 times more expensive than the hanns.

Comparatively, the resolution increase of the apple 30" over the hanns 28" is impressive. The apple has 2500x1600 while the hans has 1900x1200. This is quite a significant increase in pixels. Initially I thought that pixel density doesn't matter, but for photoshop editing, this clearly makes a difference. The colors of landscapes and colors of skintones just pops so much better with the Apple.

The monitor seems to run hotter than the hanns though, my guess is the apple monitor burns more energy.

Conclusion is, the hanns is great value for money, but if you have an additional 1k plus to burn, and really need the increased tonal range and color, then go for the apple. You won't regret it!

Until recently there were still reasons to own a general-purpose PC in floor-standing rather than laptop configuration: You could swap video cards to enhance canvas size and image quality; you could have quick access to a LAN; you could install extra fans to keep the whole thing from going postal; you could have room on your desk for a photo of Mom.

There were plenty more reasons "power users" remained loyal to the mainframe paradigm. Without even acknowledging the Freudian "size" discrepancy, pre-Y2K laptops demanded every sort of compromise on the user's part. They were slow, they had lousy keyboards and screens, and they were not even very portable. In the old days, a systems operator worth his Fortran wouldn't trade his hornrims on an original Compaq.

But now, to coin a metaphor, the shoe is on the other foot. Today's laptops sport duo-core processors and multi-gig RAM-paks that make short work of everyday office computing. And if you want an auxiliary display that's as big as the one that came with your 10-year-old's gaming system, you can have that, too. Virtually all laptops have external-display ports. If you choose wisely, your second display can perform as well as your laptop without exceeding its cost.

I remember the days when, to get anywhere near the image size, resolution, and quality this Acer provides, I'd have to add an additional zero to the price tag. That's no exaggeration, folks! Those of us old enough to remember, think back to CAD workstations and Sony 21" CRTs.

After six years of abuse, my Toshiba M15 laptop has consistently refused to break down, and it wasn't until Windows 7 came along that I had an excuse to replace it. (Windows 7 wants more RAM than the old laptops could deliver.) Though my new Toshiba P500 comes with a brilliant 18.4" display, my dub-sized V223 makes the Toshi's screen seem almost inadequate.

Since computer displays are the user's eyes in the virtual world, there can almost be no such thing as too many of them, or too much. The tradition of one display per computer is nothing more than tradition. So is the notion that a "serious" PC must weigh 20 lb. and sit on the floor.

It's time to, as Apple used to say, think different. A good starting point would be an Acer V223. Or two.
