Definitely set up your 2nd monitor on the left or even top left but not right. Sony is working on this known issue:
When one drags a clip from the media pool from the right side it will place that clip into any folder it happens to drag across.

I'm always curious about a better workflow so here is my monitor setup, in hopes that others will share theirs.

I don't have any problems with this setup.
If there's an easier way to share a jpg, please let me know.

Lots of great views other people have posted.

For me, I save a bunch of layouts that I change based upon what I am doing. My color correction layout is different than sound mixing than basic cutting.

Duals are great. If you add an external montior to the mix, you get even more options.

Main monitor is in the Center with media pool and all other stuff on the right hand monitor. I drag the media pool stuff from right to center no big deal. The firewire tv monitor is on the left. The video distribution unit is on the left and when I want to view a rendered piece of video I just push button #7 then when done go back to button #6 for the Vegas external firewire thru the ADVC-300.
Button #7 is the tv output of the Matrox Parhelia which is OK.
