This title sounds like advertising.
Anyway, personal story: For years I worked on a 24" monitor at home. Then, at some point, I decided I too want to be a "pro" or whatever, and bought me a Dell UltraSharp 27" monitor. It looked very impressive when I turned it on... but within a couple of weeks, I noticed I was getting this sensation of wanting to turn away from the screen, of not wanting to be at my computer. I gradually realized that, well, it was the monitor; or rather the monitor + the distance: I could just not tolerate my eyes having to focus on high-intensity lit items at the angles the monitor was showing me. I went back to a 24-incher, and am happy as a clam. No multiple monitors for me, either: Dizziness and headaches.
I know this might not be everyone's experience, and many people have no trouble with large/multiple monitors, but - be warned, you might be one of those we do; or, you might develop this sensitivity over the years.
- AdrianB1 4y agoI am using 2 monitors for over 20 years (since GeForce 2 MX, my first video card with 2 outputs) and I had no problems; at first it was 19" CRT, then dual 21", for the past 9 years dual 24". I had a colleague (now retired) that was using 6 21" monitors on a special stand in a 3x2 arrangement, he loved it. Different people have different preferences and tolerances.
