David Attenborough narrating Pokemon Go. (existing narration spliced into Pokemon Go footage. XD)

In other news I got my work computer replaced today and (a) holy shit the new one has big monitors and (b) I'll be spending some time getting everything back to the way I wanted it.

How big?

Seriously, I'm thinking about getting a big screen and I wonder what other people use. You have a dual-monitor system?

My primary computer has, if my awkward measurements with a ruler are correct, a 22" monitor (and it's an all-in-one so there's a lot of surrounding frame), and they also gave me a replacement for the other monitor, the same size. I mostly keep my email on the secondary monitor, as well as websites I'm actively working on so I can refresh the browser window without having to page over from my text editor.

At home I've got an iMac with a 27" monitor, but no dual setup there.

This is helpful, I tend to underestimate how big a thing will be on the desk. I am thinking now bigger than 22" will be right for me. Less window switching...

There's parallax on the one on the right--the monitor portion looks to be the same size as the one on the left in real life. :)
