We got dual wide screen monitors early last year and I wasn’t sure what I would do with two. Now I’m spoiled...I only have one at home and wish I had a second.
It’s nice to work with good equipment.

Oh my gosh....I couldn’t get either in no matter what. They had sheepskin “carpets” and treats, but they had to be manhandled in.

It makes all the difference having the doc full size on a big screen and the coding tree and doc list on another.
The last job I was on we had single screens - not wide - and CPU's underfoot, along with wires everywhere. It looked like something your computer challenged brother-in-law would give you.
The people were ciphers as well - wouldn't say hello when you greeted them.
