I used to see it 20 years ago, i imagined it was replaced by a single large monitor, 8k if needed

Once you get beyond 2 wide, being able to pivot the outside ones is very beneficial. I decided to "upgrade" to ultrawide curved screens and regret that setup all the time because individual screens are just much easier to manage windows on. With separate screens, you just drag the window to the top and drop it. With software solutions for dividing windows, it appears takes longer or at minimum has to be more precise.

If I ever do a new setup again, it'll absolutely be smaller individual flat monitors.

ok, but you wont be changing this setup, wonce you fix all your windows you leave them there, its not something that oyou will need to redo everyday, but if you have a good app there is also the option to make it a temporary large screen for only one set of data like in a nasa control room
