The stand looks like the old Dell monitor stand, which does not get too low when you try to lower it. Have you checked on that?

I have just studied all the pictures, it definitely goes lower than the old Dell stands, but not as free as the new Dell stands.

You don't want to put that monitor in portrait mode. The 160* viewing angles mean it's a TN (the type of LCD your laptop uses), which have horrible vertical viewing angles (the official numbers are the angle that contrast drops to 10:1, not the angle everything gets FUBARed). If you rotate hte panel 90* the crap viewing angles become horizontal. If you're going to use it in portrait mode you need a *VA or IPS type panel. Some vendors are starting to indicate panel type explicitly (dell does on new ones), otherwise you need to look closely at the stats, IPS typically report 178* angles, *VA 176*. IPS panels have better image quality than *VA, but the latter is good enough for most uses and far better than TN. IPS is also significantly more expensive to produce.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Ah! you surprised me. With what you listed here as specs for your "Personal Computer" (while I is/was still on P4), I thought your monitors will be 30", 27" the least 
Now, let me grab the boss offer and beat you at least in monitor

What kind of video card setup are you running for 3 monitors? 2 or 3 video cards?

Home = 4 22" Acer flat screens running @ 1680 x 1050
Work = 1 Dell Laptop screen running @ 1440 x 900
= 1 19" Dell flat screen running @ 1280 x 1024
I would never give up multiple monitors.

How well is that working for you. I ran into a bunch of minor wierdities with my primary monitor and start menu not in the bottom left under XP.

I have not had a single issue recently.
I did have a few issues in my earlier systems running 2 dual-head PCI video cards where my primary monitor would change when I rebooted my system but now that I am on PCIe cards I have not had that happen at all under either Vista or XP. My wife runs into it constantly however under Vista with her laptop. Almost every time she hibernates it causes her monitors to switch around and she spends about 15 minutes to get them back to the way she wants them. The odd thing with her is that it always seems to want to shove her primary monitor to the external video port instead of the laptop.

I've had similar issues with un/docking my laptop at work. Ultramon[^] has managed to stop/undo most of the wierdness. The only remaining issue I have is that desktop icon layout gets scrambled going from high res external displays to the laptops lower screen res.

I have never had a problem with that in XP although in most cases I have put the menu in the bottom left I know at times it has been in the bottom right or middle monitor when I am running 3 displays.

In recent years I have only used nVidia graphics mostly because they have the best linux drivers and any desktop at work can and probably will be converted to a linux machine after the point when its life as a windows desktop has been exceeded.

My pre-ultramon problems were all with an ATI card. My current laptop has a nv card, but I've never used it without ultramon so I'm not sure how they compare. The resolution triggered icon trashing is a windows 'feature' and not card related.

It is a bit extreme, but it rocks for programming. Help and web surfing on one screen, specification on the other screen, VS on the other screen and oen screen left for random junk (movie, music, etc...) while I am working.
I used to have one of them on a KVM to share them with the other computers in the room (server, test\junk machine) but moved them off to their own monitor that sites on a rack behind me (not in view in this picture). I also have another system at the very end of my desk (not in view here either) that I use for 'visiting questionable' web sites (ie: places I have never gone before that may appear 'dodgy') that I can re image at will. I may be replacing this with a VMWare image soon though.
Yeah, I have an addiction  but my wife enables it. She always knows where to find me
Come to think of it, the only person in the house that dose not have multiple monitors on their desk is my mother-in-law. She has a crappy 17 inch flat screen. Hmmmm 9 monitors all in one room (me, my wife, and my mother-in-law all sit int he same room).
Maybe I do have a problem

It could, but 22"?
With portable music player (iPod etc), I hardly want to play music on my computer.

No not at all. I have seen Dell configuration for 4 monitors, but to me it was for security camera and the like.
You guys forced MS to create Vista, just to realized that you are in the minority

My SO would have nothing of that. I could get away with the bottom 2 but the top ones will block too much of the beauty of the desk she bought me a few years back.
