I currently work from three monitors at work. I would recommend multiple monitors over one big one unless you are really good at window placement or use a tiling window manager. I tend to used each monitor with one window maximized so this may have something to do with my preference. <div>
<br></div><div>My setup is:</div><div>USB to VGA -- for trouble ticketing system (left side)</div><div>VGA main -- for work I am currently doing (middle)</div><div>Laptop LCD Panel -- for email application (right side)</div>
<div><br></div><div>One case where one monitor is better is setup. xRandR is really bad at setting up multiple monitors I find. I long for the good old days of xorg.conf</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>My 2 cents</div>
