Two smaller monitors or one larger monitor?

[mhawk]

Which in your opinion is better? Two smaller monitors (in my case one 17" LCD and one 15" TFT) or one larger monitor (in my case 24" widescreen)?

I'm not so sure whether to keep my two seperate monitors and put them together as a dual display or sell them both and get one 24" one.

I suppose from a power user's point of view the dual monitor would be better because you can do one thing on one screen and another on the other.

And I suppose from a casual user's point of view the single large monitor would be better because you can watch your DVDs at a larger res.

However I'm a bit of both.

I'd rather have the 24" panel. You can't really play games on one and surf the web on the other as clicking outside of a fullscreen mode view port will cause it to minimize.

I'd rather have a single large LCD monitor as well.
