I think 3 might be the sweet spot, I use 2 at work and often find myself wishing I had an extra screen. Left - Website I'm making, Central - Code, Right - Copy/Content

Same, left is for browsing, mid code and right other code like either frontend/backend split or similar code to use/learn from. -

I think 3 is the sweet spot. My neck feels fine moving back and forth to look at each monitor. I used to have 4 (with my laptop screen,) but we all moved to a different space so I don't have room to keep my laptop open on my desk anymore 😔 I would love to have 6 monitors because I like dedicating one monitor to each program I have running, but that would mean that I'd have to pilfer 3 more spare monitors and buy a new monitor mount 😉

Got three at home; I like working from home now.
1 dedicated log screen is a blessing -
julianmd5057yI use 4 monitors at work for monitoring. Each with 3-4 Chrome/FF windows, with various tabs (Nagios, kibana, datadog, grafana). I like to split my monitors' real estate in 4, usually, except for one, which I only split in 2, that's where I keep my personal stuff. Overall, really happy with 4 monitors, wouldn't go back to two.
When duel 24' monitors is not enough...
How does 3 work for you guys? Does your neck hurts moving around?
I had 5 at work but was mostly on 2 since other 3 for monitoring.
