I'm not sure whether your think this is a good thing or bad thing.

Personally, I hate 16:9 with every bone in my body, so if someone replaced the wonderful 3x 4:3 monitors in the first picture with the abominations in the second picture, I'd be ready to kill them.

Why? More screen real estate is a good thing.

For the record, I'm happy with the extra real estate. The old monitors didn't really give me enough room to feel truly comfortable with all the things I tend to have open while at work, so this is a "good thing" in my book :)

Yeah, I can't imagine going back to 4:3 anything. Thank goodness HDTV has forced the public to accept "the black bars of more visual content".

Three monitors of any aspect ratio is a bit much for me, but I do all of my work on a 15 inch screen.

But... how do you fly your own spaceship then?

Yeah, I can't stand the thought of the bezels segmenting my workspace. I just have a 27" monitor and I'm good.

I like 3 monitors, 1 for my IDE, one for my test servers, and one for Google/references.

I can deal with two monitors on a working computer. I could probably deal with three, even, though by that point you're getting so much un-snappable space that it feels like it would become a pain in the ***.

But I need to echo this for my home computer, where I spend as much time watching video and playing games as I do referencing multiple windows and spreadsheets.

Too much horizontal, not enough vertical.

Personally, I'm using 2x 16:10 24" monitors and one 4:3 2", all Dell Ultrasharps- they've all got 1200px vertical resolution, and then 1900, 1900 and 1600 horizontal respectively. The extra vertical real-estate is huge for me- they're all the perfect size for a full 11" vertical document to fit, and with the 2 24" monitors I can tile 4 pages side-by-side to work.

You'll always get more screen real-estate at 16:10 than 16:9, and technically, always more with 4:3 than 16:9, assuming you have enough monitors.
