Yes I have 4 in a row (19 inchers) and that is great.
The one thingy I did that was cool is buy the black frame version of the NEC
multi Sync FE950+, and I immediately changed all of my monitors to have a
black frame by using black electric tape. Works perfectly!
The thing this does is prevent your eye from being distracted by a useless
grey border.
