Question Need Advice: Single 27", or Dual Setup?

[CamperJoe18]

Right now, I have a single 27", 1080p monitor. In a few months, I will be going to college, and taking my system with me. I think I want a dual monitor setup, because studies show that it can increase productivity (and because I personally enjoy using two monitors at work).

My question is this: Should I add a second 27" monitor to my current setup and have to deal with blown-up pixels (1080p @ 27") and the unwieldy-ness of having a setup that big...

OR

Should I spend more money on two smaller monitors that will provide a sharper picture, and will allow more desk space?

I would prefer not to spend more than $250. And, if there are any other suggestions (favorite monitor, setup, etc), I would love to hear them.

Thanks!

Make and model of your existing monitor? I would also ask what your GPU is at the moment to understand if that can drive both displays.
