1. At home, i use 2 monitors by now. 2 of them are really good, if i play games like League of legends ... or i just play at the first monitor and chat on the other monitor.
2. At job, i only have 1 monitor because the company hasn't enough money for another monitor i think...
3. At my intership as gameprogrammer 2 months ago, i had 2 monitors, a ipad (games for ipad) and a headset for music at my workplace. This was really cool, on the first monitor i had my source code, the second monitor i had some private stuff at most time... or folder browser, photoshop etc.

VS has so many windows, so I use the first monitor in portrait mode as main screen, only code, menu and toolbars there. All toolwindows from VS, explorer windows, tv/radio etc go to the other screen. With only one monitor I get claustrophobia

But, I had to vote for "single monitor" as they are all connected to different computers...

Generally mulitple monitors are useful for designers.
Also a Developer who do not want to switch between application uses mulitple monitors,
so he can code in one screen an can see output in other screen.
This is very useful for web developer can change code in one screen and just referesh other screen for output !

Is security position at Mall considered as IT job ?

I dunno - Terry Pratchett (the author) uses 8 monitors. When asked why, he replied "because I can't fit any more in"

I want one of the connections Peter F Hamilton described in his confederation series[^].

As much as I enjoy Hamilton's stuff, I can't help but apply another science fiction author's reasoning: Sturgeon's Law[^].
Sturgeon's Law applied to the web goes something like this: 99.997% of everything on the web is crap.
Would you really want something that is 99.997% crap directly hooked into your brain?

This is what companies normally afford with a desktop.
I had laptop for 3 years and enjoyed perk of dual monitors. Its just awesome. It increases productivity too and makes things easier. Now, what i can say is just a single monitor sucks.

I have no idea how I ever survived with just one monitor. I have to constantly remind myself - I'm one of the few lucky ones and not everybody can just put a browser on the 2nd monitor and switch back and forth as desired.

Never been proven, unfortunately, in a general programming setting.

Although it may have not been proved, but having Visual Studio on one Screen and Output window on other makes things easier.
