Is this just the american way of doing things bigger than everyone else? How does one convince one's employer that 2 19" monitors are economically viable? Are most people developping this way or are they using one screen only?

I don't think it is the "American way" per se - but the cost may be a factor. I can buy a good quality 19+ inch monitor for around $200. At that price I know a number of programmers who bought their own additional monitor and took it to work when the company would not supply one. Another factor is that all new monitors are LCD and therefore don't require the desktop real estate that they once did.

I also find that a number of my customers are now giving their programmers laptops as their primary machine and a large LCD monitor on the desk. Most choose to run in dual monitor mode utilizing both the laptop and the LCD screen.

Given the price I don't think it is too hard to convince them that there is payback.
