I appear to be in the minority. I use 3 24" monitors at work because it's the most I can fit on my desk, but at home I bought a 6-monitor stand and have a 2x3 grid of 22-24" displays.
It's perfect for project work - one display for the site I'm building, one for my IDE, one for 2 terminals split vertically, two displays for documentation/research, and one for messaging/music/misc other stuff.
I wouldn't ever go back to fewer displays, and only wish I had bought the 8-monitor stand instead.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 8y agoI use to use 1080p 3x 24s, I recently upgraded to a 2k 27". If I had the same resolution for the 24s, I'd go back. https://i.imgur.com/T4L7W7t.jpg https://i.imgur.com/T4L7W7t.jpg I couldn't use two monitors, as I need a focal point. It's nice to use the secondary monitors for extra things, depending on the workflow. For browser development, a browser tab and devtools on the side, text editor in the middle, everything else (spotify, filebrowser, discord, documentation) on the other side. Bonus: Me and my wife's current temp setup https://i.imgur.com/klRAeCd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/klRAeCd.jpg (yes that's a massage table)
- village-idiot 8y agoI used to work in finance and the traders had similar setups. I found that they started to give me information overload anxiety, I could not imagine installing one at home.
