27" Monitors

Why dont you try dual monitors ?

Indeed, I went for 2 4:3 monitors rather than one big widescreen one (it's quite hard to find decent 4:3 monitors these days I found though).

If I ONLY used my PC for work, I reckon I might get 3 widescreen monitors and turn them all to portrait mode. But that will really not work with watching DVDs or playing games.

I'd rather have a smaller monitor with the same or greater resolution myself. As soon as I get off the bench I'm upgrading - possibly a 24" 16:9. I will probably keep the current one for a 2nd monitor to have 'youtube' running alongside.

A real bugbear I have with BBC IPlayer and dual monitors is that you cannot keep it maximised on one screen and work on the other. It minimises with any key stroke.

Get 2 laptops, it's cheaper as well.

I like to see the debug of my server on one screen as I work on the program on the other screen.

I do use the laptop for the IPlayer though but then my desk starts to look like mission control.

Yeah it's annoying. Interestingly, C4's on demand player doesn't have this bug, but I think iPlayer uses different technology for streaming video - most others use the Windows Media Player which is why they're Windows-only while iPlayer works on the Mac.

You could remotely debug from one PC to the other, if you were seriously interested in having an iPlayer-friendly setup

I couldn't fit two of anything wider than them on my desk.

there is some software that will let you download a BBCiPlayer stream and save it as an .mov then you can watch it via Quick time or on your ipod ect.

The file name is ipdl.exe

pm me and I email it to you.
