We actually have deployed dual monitors to everyone at my buiness unit. Only HR and some folks with laptops opted out. Almost everyone multi-tasks so much these days that we found an immediate productivity increase for nearly every job. IT folks use RDP on one side while working with documentation on another. Programmers either spread their IDE across both or write on one side and view the output on the other. Accounting views the billing system on one screen, the distribution system on the other. Or, will be comparing online statements with our internal system, etc. CSRs will be helping customers via WebEx while using our knowledgebase resources... the opportunities are clear. It costs almost nothing as most modern video cards ship with dual ports and the systems we're now buying from HP actually have dual-head built in (as long as one of your monitors is a digital LCD.) An additional monitor, even a 22" LCD is under $300 while a 24" jumps quickly to $600+. Others have already commented at the even higher jump up to the 30" LCD. I've seen a study in the past from, I think, the UK where they saw a significant productivity increase by going to dual monitors. There was even a slight uptick by going to three and I did experiment with that for a while. But almost no one has that kind of desk space and you invariably have to add a device such as the Matrox TripleHead2Go or another PCI video card.
