I have 3 including my laptop and want another one as well. I like the efficiency of not having to jump through windows to find what I’m looking for. I can put certain programs on certain screens and get more done in a less distracting manner.
My monitors and desk setup is quite literally one big reason I won't go back into the office. (Many other reasons too).
I hate plug-unplug to go sit in a stuffy meeting room holding my coffee, my notebook, my phone. Women's pants don't even have pockets!
This person needs to be stopped.

OP in 2023 if the pandemic doesn’t end.
I think I’d spend more time fidgeting with those monitors trying to get them straight, than actually working…

Your computer graphics card will tell you when it's too many. Also # of ports may be limiting
An eGPU will fix that issue if you don’t mind dropping a grand!
I have been just using the laptop screen the last 3 years, can’t imagine a 2nd let alone 4!!
D1 you gotta be trolling! Level up those computer skills. Also prior military here
Are you the architect from the matrix ?
I am only here for the comments and y’all didn’t disappoint.
1 27” high resolution one and my laptop screen as backup for capturing notes primarily. Nobody in consulting needs more than 2 if you’re just working in PPT, Excel, Chrome and Outlook all day
One for outlook, one for ppt/excel, one for slack and other for netflix

I had 6 when I was a high frequency trader earlier in my career
What’s on the 4th monitor? Three works great for me.
I have 4 and love it. Two are sidetraks — my Computer has ears!
One for the incognito browser

I have my laptop screen for normal messages with Team. Two other screens for excel/pdf/etc. sometimes I do wish I have a 4th one whe n I need to look at multiple files…
6 Screens… 3 laptops + 3 external monitors works well

Sounds like you should use a TV for a monitor
3 for personal, 1 monitor + laptop for worm
This question is triggering my ocd for clutter
Depends on how many eyes you have
