Not who you asked but its quite common in folks in Finance work (especially trading etc) to have 4-5 (or even more) monitor setup - they need to keep their eyes on the multiple blotters/charts simultaneously. In time-sensitive work, you can't afford to miss something happening on a window that is hidden behind others, visual comparisons can be super fast and reduce mistakes and switching windows is bothersome. I use a 43" along with two 24" inch monitors and programming with 8 split-panes (4x2) on the main one with chat/email/tailing logs on the other two makes things so much better.

- moonchrome 4y agoThis sounds like a great use case for VR workspace. Is that a thing yet ? I haven't touched anything VR related since original Oculus - how far away are we from buying a 1000$ headset and it replacing all my monitors (and ideally I can travel with it) ? Anyone here using such a setup ? What gear would you recommend ?
