At work I use 2x20" (total 3200x1200, just slightly fewer pixels). The one big display is much more flexible and requires less head turning. It did cost $1000, though, and 20" LCDs are given away in cereal boxes these days.
I don't like the way monitors have all gone "wide" now. That may be good for viewing movies, but they are often too short to show a full page of text in a readable size. My laptop is only 900 pixels tall even though it is 1440 wide. My older desktop had a 1280 x 1024 monitor that was much better for a lot of work. To get that height the wide screens have to go to 1920 width just to get 1080 vertical. Not that there is a problem with that, its just too hard to carry around... ;)
I've seen a few displays that are 1920 x 1200 and would love to have two of those on a desktop. But it is just so nice to work in a coffee shop rather than looking at the same four walls all the time.
