Developers, how many monitors do you use for coding?

0b10

2

One for coding.
And a second one for emails, chats and all other distractions.

1, my laptop's.

Prefer 1 big monitor

2 + laptop.
I'm almost at a point of needing a 3rd or just going widescreen

3:
1 for the IDE
1 for Research/Docs/Ticket
1 for the Project/Site

Mostly 1 with good ratio and window management. Sometimes i use my laptop screen for monitoring. Like database stuff or log streams.

0

1x 15 inch.
Seems to be good n'uff so far.

Two. One for code and specs, one for documentation and testing.

Slack and other distractions fuck off to the taskbar or another desktop where I can ignore them properly, until the boss starts yelling or whatever.

1
when i had 2, i still used only 1 for coding.

32" for IDE and wildly uncontrolled Alt+Tabbing between Chrome, file explorer, Spotify, Windows Terminal, Notepad++, Azure Data Studio..., then a 28" in portrait orientation with Slack and log outputs and lastly my laptop screen which is just sitting there with my Outlook inbox yelling for attention.

Tried widescreen, hated it. This setup works for me!

Just a single 16:9 2160p60.

2 to 3
I also used 4th before but it was mostly unused

Two plus laptop, but I need one or two more

1, or 2 if you count the laptop. I found out that having more than one main screen tends to distract me more than help me. So even for my personal setup I only use one screen.

1 for coding (IDE), 1 for docs/entertainment management

3:

1 IDE
2 Chats, Mails and Spotify and shinanigans
3 Because I can, barely use it.

4 screens.
1 code
2 examples/research
3 documentation/research
4 easy access to music and to take short breaks without disturbing "current setup"

@catgirldev but everyone needs a friend. Let's get your monitor a friend :)
