I'm trying to decide which monitors to buy. I will buy 3 monitor anyway but i'm not sure if I should be 23-24 or 27 inches.
The question is - if I can use VS 2012 on 2 or even 3 monitors? How comfortable is it? Can I use "center" monitor for "coding" and left and/or right monitors for everything else? How comfortable such setup is and if it is possible?
Ideally I would like to see "photos" or videos of such a setup.
So far I'm using one 27 inch monitor and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm thinking of switching to 3* 24 or 3 * 27 because there are no space for another programs. But just one 24 inch monitor would be too small for me so I want to "spent" at least 2 24 inch monitors for VS.

DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport allows you to daisy chain monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 ports. Daisy chaining describes the ability to connect a series of monitors to a single video output port on your computer or docking station.
It's sort of possible. There's no way to have a separate window on the host for each guest monitor, but you can have one large host window with multiple monitors in the guest. With the VM powered off, go to VM > Settings > Hardware > Display. Select "Specify monitor settings", and set "Number of monitors" to 2 or more.
Why do developers use dual monitors? The answer is simple: they make it easier to use more programs at once. Using a second monitor gives developers the option of having one program on the second screen while another is open in their primary monitor.
Yes! Visual Studio 2012 has excellent multi-monitor support. Each monitor can have its own "raft" with multiple tabs, split windows, etc. Just grab a window from the main "island" and drag it onto another monitor to create a new "raft". Everyone on our team has 3 x 19" monitors and can mix and match code, documentation, browsers, etc. on each monitor as needed.
Below is a screenshot I took of this in action:
