    Multiple Monitors vs. Single Large

    I asked the guys I bought my computer from and this is how they explained it to me... It is all about the "monitor resolution" as opposed to how big the montior is.. This means, if you have a 60" plasma screan, your resoultion is the same (or less) than if you have a 22" screen. So...
