    I find 2 per PC is my useful limit. Which means my current 5 isn’t quite enough. Monitor arms are always a challenge at that scale, though.

      I agree, two is probably the productive limit as long as you only have one mouse cursor. But I just got a dual screen laptop with touch on both. I can easily slip between a soure document, destination document and have a web page or other tool open for research it’s kind of classy.

        As a software dev, i like having 3. Gives me space to see

        • console output and debug info on the left
        • my code editor in the center
        • and my browser on the right

        Or having multiple vscode windows and a browser

        I also move windows around using the keyboard (win + left / right), and the task switcher (alt + tab)
