Sidescreen dual or 24"?

[jubei]

Hi guys,

Gonna be upgrading my computer in jan and am undecided on going dual screen 22" or getting that OCuK 24" monitor.

The reason i want dual screen is that i am doing programming at uni and its very useful to be able to run the program on one window whilst editing on another etc, its the setup they have at uni and i am kind of getting used to it so coming home to my single monitor to work is a little annoying.

However i am not sure how it would work with 2 widescreens in dual as the ones at uni are normal, anyone use widescreens in dual do they look okay?

So i could get the 2 22" samsung monitors as i am an avid gamer and the 2ms response time sounds good.

However i could also just go for a 24" OCuK one thats getting some really good comments, how do you think it would compare for gaming and general use?

Also i do have this 19" hyundai tft here that i could maybe use in dual with the 24" if needed?

Gah i just dunno man, thoughts?

I would get a 24" screen and use an app called "split view" to make it appear like you have 2 monitors. Then get another 24" when you can

Get the dual screens. Fact is you'll have a lot more screen room as the combined res of the 2 22s will be more than the single 24. It will look fine.

I now run 3 monitors (OcUK 24" and 2 Dell 2007Wfps) but for a long time had the 2 Dells, I use my PC for music production really and the 2 screens made managing windows much more plesant.
