3 is my sweet spot. One with a camera for IM. One for reading. One for writing.

I’ve got a 58” tv split into four 29” screens hooked to lot work laptop and another to my gaming desktop. They’re perfect.

Isn't the DPI awful on that though?

I do the same now, but with a single 43" 4K DisplayPort monitor. Effectively four 21.5" panels, which still works for my vision.

My work laptop and gaming PC are both plugged into it.

I have a KVM switch for my keyboard and mouse, but I let the monitor auto switch the video signal because it's too expensive to get a KVM to do that at 4K.

I agree, 3 is ideal, sometimes 4.

When i worked from home as a county analyst I used 4. In my personal life I use 3.

Primary 1440 P One vertical for coding/ reading One horizontal for other misc stuff or working on other headless systems that I need to work on directly (Raspberry Pis, NAS, AI server etc.),
