What are your thoughts about a second monitor?

[dibbs]

Allright I have the Dell 20.1 and love it, and recently got the idea to use my old 17" CRT as a side monitor to house one or two PLO or Stud tables in addition to my 4 main NLHE tables. I have no real interest in getting a second 20.1 because I don't want to 8 table and it just seems unnecesary to me.

So I go to Best Buy tonight to pick up a videocard that can supply two monitors and I wander into the LCD aisle, bad idea.

So now I want a second LCD, I'm thinking 17", which Dell sells at around 250$. I think the Sony monitors at bestbuy in the same range were in the 300s, but Ill have to check again.

Would anyone ever consider this, or just stick with the side CRT and save a couple hundred bucks?
