There's a rather large multi page thread, with LOTS of pictures, dedicated to just such a thing...
http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-...rkspace-desk-area-look-like-aff-marketer.html
Plus a bunch of other threads on multi monitor setups, which monitors to buy, etc. etc. etc.
Actually, looking back on it, that's one of the funniest threads on here. Spanish tile
The fuck you can't. Google "multiplicity" for multiple monitor management. I have 3 Pcs, 3 monitors, and can cut/paste from one to the other...

fvaldez,
As nice as this setup is, you're doing something potentially wrong here, and that's having 3 monitors TOO LARGE side by side. Your neck must constantly be rotating. If that's cool for you, ok, but come back to this thread in 6 months and you're gonna have neck problems.
If you need 3 monitors, the ideal solution is to get a mount for them so they can be raised higher (more at eye level), and 19" monitors, with the same configuration. The less turning your neck has to do, the better.
I used to have the same setup and thought if it wasnt 24" or more, it wasnt worth it, but I've found 3 19"s side by side increase my productivity more because my head doesnt have to turn as much so I can move faster.
1 big ass CRT,
Funny how 15 year old technology has better color reproduction/gamut, refresh rate, 180 viewing angles, no backlight bleeding, no input lag and no flimsy construction/stand, no dead pixels, blacks are BLACK, white's are WHITE - fuck I hate lcd's...
/waiting on OLED's

i hear you but most of the turning happens at the chair level..not the neck.
Actually, the biggest drawback i see is the heat lol.... i swear.. they do get hot and they get to you.
Dude look at your setup! Your monitors are 6" from your face! Only you can prevent wallpaper forest fires buddy 
re: swinging your chair as you switch to every monitor. Oh yeah, that's better. How about moving NOTHING but
your eyes. I assume you're using all 3 a lot as you work, do you actually swivel left, right, left, middle, right every few
seconds? WTF man! Sit on a dildo while you're at it.

You simply need to invest in better quality than the el cheapo $199 priced panels.
There's nothing flimsy about upper end Dell, Apple, HP, Viewsonic, etc.
Refresh rates don't work the same, but pixel timing of 2-6 ms is the norm these days.
Viewing angles aren't quite 180 degrees, but it's close... who works on their monitor from a 90 degree angle?
I don't have any backlight bleeding on the Dell, but the 6 year old Viewsonics do.
Input lag? WTF is that?
Dead pixels, none. Any good manufacturer has a zero dead pixel warranty now.
Colour is good, blacks could be a bit blacker, but the key is to go for models with at least 3,000:1 contrast ratio. Certainly not as good as the CRTs of old with 10k:1 but it's not that bad man. I had a 21" Sony Trinitron that died with just days to go in it's 3 year warranty. Between the time I bought it and the time it died Sony had stopped making them, so they offered me an LCD to replace it, but the models at the time had shit specs. They cut me a cheque for $1,600 and I replaced it with a Viewsonic from their pro VP line.
That Sony weighed nearly 60 pounds though and took up an enormous amount of real estate on the desk, and of course it put off way more electro magnetic radiation than any LCD panel does.
So you take the good with the bad.
The NEC WUXi or the HP Dreamcolor range will kick the ass of any CRT you're running. None of the tired old CRT excuses you listed are relevant anymore.
You can still have 2 or 3 really large monitors, it's just best if they're sat more than 6 inches from your nose
