You could have instrument panels dedicated to screens. This makes me happy.

I have 3 screens on my laptop at work.
Laptop 15 inch screen (center and primary), laptop second display drive is a 19 inch LCD to my right (secondary) and a USB 2.0 Triton driven 19 inch display on my left.
The Triton display has a horrible refresh rate, so movies are a definite no-go. But, for typing letters, or cutting and pasting from that display to my primary - it’s almost perfect.
So, material I refer to frequently for reference goes on my left hand screen, center for working on, right hand screen for research and simulations.
Can’t imagine going back to 2 screens.
CinemaView Displays With Mini DisplayPort Connectors
******************************* EXCERPT**************************
The next generation of CinemaView displays will be equipped with Mini DisplayPort connectors alongside a TV add-on. The new models will be larger than its predecessors and will start with the 24-inch model. The new screen now features four USB ports, 2ms of response time and 1,000:1 contrast ratio. The price still remains at $499 each, but its launch has been moved back two months to October 2009.
Meanwhile, the new CinemaView 47 is a hybrid TV/PC display that comes with similar resolutions as that of a dedicated computer display, although it relies on Mini DisplayPort for input.
With Linux support to follow sometime in 2189.
