I built this dual monitor rig specifically for working on Photographs. Allows me to keep Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC and the various Plug Ins in full screen mode without having to Alt-Tab between the programs. Makes workflow a lot easier with your tools all at hand.

PC is a Dell Precision 3600 with a multiple output Nvidia card.

Your monitors look extra wide. What are they?

RG, I'm REALLY jealous!! But not of your actual set-up but that you can actually SEE the monitors.
The stuff on my desk is piled SOOO high that I haven't seen my monitors in almost a year!!!
You must be VERY, VERY sick!!!!!
BUT, on April 1st I do my Spring desk cleaning and at that time I'll be able to tell you what brand I have....., or am I just fooling myself!!! :lol: :lol:

One monitor doesn't effect the color of the other facing each other like that? ...I have a 3 monitor setup and when editing on center monitor, I would have to at times shut off the two smaller side monitors as they were throwing light onto center monitor. Looking into a monitor shroud now hoping it will block the light.

Yes, put blinders on them. Calibrate all monitors to the same specs, with only one turned on at a time. Paint the surrounding area Munsell N8 Gray (Google it).

Not sure about that but I figured what's better than neutral color. I actually painted two rooms cause I wasn't sure where my wife was putting me :)

You can never be too rich, too thin, have too many monitors or too much RAM!
