Hey /g/, I have some spare money and I was trying to think of things to spend it on, as I am a sheeple consumer. I was thinking of getting a third monitor, but at this point I don't think there's much point. I'd rather replace my second monitor, or spend it on something else entirely.
Does anyone here have a third monitor and find it actually useful?

don't buy a third monitor, as you said, it's a better idea to replace your existing ones
Second monitor isn't even useful. I can do just fine without having to constantly fuck around with window placement and fullscreen shit completely fucking everything up, thanks.
Single monitor is best monitor. You need another monitor, use another computer, or better yet, a laptop/netbook.

I have a 3rd monitor in portrait mode for reading books, pdfs, and such.
I find it quite handy when doing actual work.

That's your special way of saying you run Windows "just like everyone you know does"?

3 monitors here, I use the 2 side monitors to keep any windows that I'm not focused on within view for various IMs and easy to access information, while everything that takes my focus goes on the middle monitor.
Occasionally I like to stretch games across all 3 monitors, which is pretty cool for a few games but completely useless for most of them.
I'd say if you don't feel like you're running out of screen real-estate or don't want to play video games on 3 monitors, don't bother with a third monitor.
