One Monitor or Two?

I already blogged this post. But... then it ended up in my drafts folder. I... don't understand things.
It may not look terribly big in this picture, but this new monitor is big. And bright (I turned down the brightness actually).

I'm starting to get all non-two-monitors over this thing.

This monitor was only 180 bucks. Back in the day I was getting a good price with Dell on a 24" monitor for $600. Remember those times? Wow. This monitor is bright enough I might even recommend it for my dad.
