Nah, I got a 19 inch NEC flatscreen LCD that's suiting my needs perfectly right now. I want to get a second one for an extended desktop, though.

I have a generic 20 inch that I got from someone who was buying a flat screen.
I have a really old keyboard (think probably early 90's) right now because I broke mine.
My computer itself is mishmashed from things my husband was able to get me when he worked on upgrading other people's computers, I am looking at a USB 2.0 card now that I might install tonight.
I got a free optical mouse in the mail today......

15.4" Laptop Widescreen.
I really don't think of it as a laptop, so much as a desktop that I can fold up and move around, and that beats the shit out of an apple.
17" TFT and it's very good.

19 inches, I don't know whether I should buy a second 19 in monitor or a 21 in wide monitor. I'm not in a hurry to choose either one, though.
I use an old keyboard because it's damn hard here to find a keyboard with a full set of keys that I can use to map the ñ, the ¡, and the ¿ without losing the < and >, the only thing I've been able to find are old French keyboards.

I would go to the dual ... having two monitors being able to set at conventional resolutions but have the ultra wide desktop is hot

Yeah, a dual sounds very sweet, but what about games? I know they play ok, but having a gap between the two screens doesn't sound like a good thing.
I'm really annoyed at all of you LCDers. I'm still stuck with an 11 year old 17-inch CRT. :(

Some stretch, Star Wars Galaxies, for example, flight and racing sims and many modern FPS. And gaming on an extra wide screen would be one of the main reasons to get a second monitor.
Of course, I could get a third one, but that'd start looking scary :)

21" Philips CRT, it's a monster. :eek: Fortunately, I have quite a large desk, otherwise I would have got a smaller one.
My PC is a real mish-mash of second hand cast-offs & replacement parts bought as previous bits broke. In a nutshell, it's bloody slow.

19" Gateway FPD1960 TFT - I love it, it rocks! I'm epileptic and have had many problems with monitors but this works for me fine :) Plus, I can plug my XBOX 360 into one vga slot and pc into the DVI one so I can download stuff on one and play the other, and check progress by the push of a button to switch between the two :)

yep, I think he used some of that when he went in to ask for his second monitor....
in other news every freaking day he talks to me about "I saw this article on slashdot" or "in the forums on slashdot" :rolleyes: :p
although I am sure he gets tired of me talking about some of the idiocy I read around here too....

I don't have a monitor! I've become part of the internet after throwing myself off a buidling in downtown Tokyo.
OK, maybe not (but cookies to whoever gets the reference). I have a 19" LCD Monitor, which handles all my computing needs just fine.

19" flat CRT. Bought it from Aldi, so it's a Tevion.
There's vertical lines of crap near the left hand side. That's a lame power supply, so any day now I'll be back to the 16" Cheer which makes a screeching noise when asked to display 1024x768.
"Cheer" brand? I'd never heard of it either, until a friend gave it to me.
