I see the following configurations in use: * Horizontal side-by-side, most often "tilted back" (top back, bottom up) but sometimes also straight up and down. This is what I use. * Vertical side-by-side. A LCD monitor is easy to rotate, of course. These are most often straight up and down. I tried it but it felt cramped. * Horizontal /one above the other/. I kid you not. I usually see this configuration with the upper monitor tilted /forward/ (top forward, bottom back) and the lower monitor tilted opposite. The configuration has a very futuristic/spaceship look. I have seen a few quad monitor setups, which are most likely from multiple machines. In my current configuration, I devote the left-hand panel to all my normal work, and use the right-hand panel exclusively for e-mail. I think that the biggest hurdle to overcome is switching my mindset. I am just not used to having this much screen space, so I do things in an old-fashioned style. I often find myself switching between app windows rather than moving one off to the second display.
