Re: OT - Triple Monitor Setup
Don't discount the ability to view portrait. 2 22 monitors 1680x1050, and one I have in portrait mode. At 1050x1680 resolution, websurfing and viewing documents a standard letter sized page at a time (in Word, Acrobat, whatever) work really well. So monitors on stands that allow rotation are an important consideration. Almost everyone in our tax department has one of their external[1] monitors rotated for portrait viewing. Two have both external monitors arranged for portrait viewing. [1]Our staff have notebooks, we used eVGA UV+ to get the third monitor working, and they work really well, in our experience. I wouldn't trust it for gaming, though.
