I have a spare monitor at home. Might try
bringing it in to work and trying the dual screen thing. How do I set this up
(physically - i.e. cables) and s/w wise?

It was
great during the America's Cup. I was the envy of all my colleagues with
work on one monitor, and Virtual Spectator on the other. ;-)
Seriously,
I do find it helps productivity, I'm doing a bit of porting to .NET at the minute,
and I can have VS.NET open on one side, and my old app open in Delphi or VB
(bleeuurrgh) on the other one.
Our IT
department just happened to have some spare, so a few of us have two monitors
in here now.

I'd *love* to have a multiple
monitor setup. In my opinion, it would offer a huge boost in productivity and
usefulness.. what have your experiences been with the multi-monitor setup? The
other thing I'd like is an LCD monitor, would look a lot better and I'd free up
some room on my desk. The only problem is that they're pretty expensive. I
mean, you could go out and buy one of the cheapest and nasiest screens, but
they have problems like coarse dot pitch and you get "Trails" on the
screen. With a more expensive screen, the image is better, contrast ratio is
better, you get more options for input, and trails are reduced, but it sure
hits the wallet hard!

You
mightn't notice it Nicholas consciously, but you'll still find yourself feeling
better running at a higher refresh rate - the higher the better ;-) Has
to be 85+ for me, or I'll start calling the OSH guys!
Bigger
the monitor, the better too! Mmmmm, 21" like I used to have would be
nice, although 2x17"s is good at the minute...

While my screen runs fine at 60
hertz (No visible flicker), my friends all "Need" to run their
screens at 75+ hertz. I guess it depends on the screen? Or maybe I just don't
notice any flicker?

My screen has flickered at the
corners quite badly for quite some time. I tried swapping to another screen on
an empty desk, and it was worse! But problem solved today. My screen's refresh
rate was set far too low (60 Hertz). I've increased it to 85 Hertz (my monitor
can handle it) and now I have a perfectly still screen. Awesome!
So if you have a flickering / shaky
screen, and haven't checked your refresh rate, it might help. Guess everyone
knows this but me!
