    It took me about five minutes to get used to it. It's like having a bigger workbench.

      I completely love it. It's tough going back to using just one monitor now.

        Yes, at work. It is awesome... and studies have proven it makes you more productive. But once you go dual monitor... you will hate working on a single monitor.

          Do or should they both be the same size?

            Ive noticed games are sluggish on the second monitor, but for everyday applications its much better.

              I would encourage same size. To have two different would hurt my head.

                Would a 22" and 21.5" be fine?

                    I work on 4 monitors simultaneously at work. All the same size and side by side.

                      Yeah - I would think that would be close enough that it wouldn't be an issue.

                        Cool, thanks for the info everyone. Now to find a good deal on a 22" or so.

                          I have been using two monitors since 1993 when I first jumped on a Macintosh doing desktop publishing at work. All of those programs, (Quark, Photoshop,etc.) have lots of tool palettes. I disocvered how easy it was to hook up a second monitor by accident and started using it to house all of my tool palettes so that my main display would be complete workspace. As far as I know, I was the first to do it in my area and it caught on big time. As far as screen size, since my second display is for my tools, I always use a much smaller size. I use a 30 inch display for the main and a 19 inch for the tools. I guess if you are gaming it would be good to have them the same size or close.
