Anyway, what would *you* buy? I will probably top out at around $3,000 (like I said, *almost* no object), but it may be as low as $1500 realistically.
Most people get excited about big displays. I would much rather have two smaller displays than one big one, for several reasons. One is that you get more pixels. The combined resolution of two side-by-side is much larger than one big one. Two displays also cost less than one big one (although since work is paying in this scenario, that's irrelevant). I also prefer the squat-tier, wider combined display that two displays gives over the taller, narrow one that a single display gives. And, lastly—and this is the most important point for me—dual displays allow you to maximize windows to one or the other displays. With a single, you have to do this manually. I like to use my right for full-screen things (my editor, Photoshop, Illustrator, terminal) and my left for non-full screen things that I always want to be able to see (email, instant messenger, irc, web browser, file browser, etc).
