> One 16" monitor is perfect for reading and writing. Coding is the only task that really benefits from having more monitors and I barely code. As a person who switched to a large multi-monitor setup during covid and does programming, I can share my personal experience. Programming is indeed amazing on such a setup. But this setup also made engaging in addictive behavior like endlessly watching Youtube videos, infinite scrolling of social media/forums etc, much more easy. A phone or a tablet would be physically uncomfortable after a while but staring at things on a 43" screen while slumped on a comfy chair removes that barrier of physical discomfort too.
