    Well, that display is purely for exhibition (c'mah - it's cool). My own answer: 1, of course.

    I like one monitor. I really don't see the need for many, but a single monitor of larger size and more resolution is always welcome. :) Now if only those big displays had 1920x1200 or above instead of that somethingx768. :(

    Heh, that'd be amusing to have.

    I have a 19" lcd screen that I have hooked up to my laptop, and I want another one for the other side, I just don't have another Video Out port.
