[DM-MUG] Multiple External Monitor Setup Question

[Alexander Rhoads]

With the new MacBook Pro lineup, it's finally time to get a new laptop  
and I need some basic multiple monitor questions answered, please:

1.  Is getting something like the Matrox Dual- or Triple-Head2Go box  
the easiest way of setting up multiple external monitors on a MBP?

and,

2.  How do I identify which monitors will be best for working with  
documents vs. video/movie watching?

Some LCD monitors I've seen are much shorter and wider than others.   
That's what I don't want; I want the more "square" monitor because  
most of my work involves letter-sized documents in portrait mode.   
Basically, I need to figure out what the differentiating specs are  
that separate the two different styles.

My basic ignorance of displays is shown by these questions, I'll admit.
