Dual screen or widescreen?

Hello,

I have a screen 19 "(not 16/9eme) and I want to move to something bigger.

I hesitate between two choices:

1) bought a second screen 19 "format 4 / 3 to make a dual screen.
2) Buy a screen 22-24 inches.

The dual screen me as much trying to put my movies on a screen and have another screen to surf at the same time, but as this technique is not immensely popular, I suppose that there are any disadvantages ? (I have not found).

I have a PC (2months) with a HD3870 (including both logical solutions should turn (no games greedy).

thank you in advance for your advice / explanations.

I have a dual screen in 22 "and I must say that this interesting to use winamp a side and listen to his music another side by managing the playlist.
I will advise you take a 22 "which offers a workspace much more comfortable. You can certainly make a dual screen with a 19" and 22 "

Indeed yes, but the aesthetic side that I put off to take a screen size different from mine. I fear that a wide screen 22 "and a 4:3 19" are very strange side by side. (the pc is in my room).

a 19 "4 / 3 and 22" 16 / 9 in dual screen, it is because they still have the same height.
24 inches, 22 inches and 19 inches below
