How many monitors do you prefer in your setup and why?

Hey guys!

Hope you are all doing well, I absolutely love how 2.0 looks right now and can not wait to see what comes in the future.

So how many monitors do you guys use for your setup, Why do you use the number of monitors?

For me, I have a 3 monitor setup (well 2 monitors and a laptop) I prefer 2 mainly because I have more space around my desk.

I use 3 monitors to work, develop games (which I have yet to do during covid xD), and ofc playing games and watching streams.

What about you? ^.^

    i use 1. i dont enjoy having multiple monitors for the most part. I am debating a second if i start to stream more, but until then i will stick with one. My work setup however... 3 is sometimes not enough.

    2 seems to be the magic number for me but I wouldn't be against 3. There comes a point where you almost feel like a single, omnidirectional monitor that you climb inside to experience 360 degrees of resolution would be be best.

    2 but it'd probably be 3 if I was using a dual PC set up.

    I use 1 but its an ultrawide monitor... Good for RPGs and such not so for shooters, as its too much to look at at one time.

    I need to get a new monitor at some point and was wondering how those ultrawides were...

    Currently using 1. Had to attach my other one to my work laptop in this crazy work from home covid world.  Ideally, I'd like to have 3 for my gaming PC - goals!

    I'm currently using 2 until gives me a hand-me-down Y24 ahahah. 

    I wish I had 3 though because I sometimes have too many things open like when I'm streaming. I use OBS Studio, Streamlabels, and MixItUp. Hopefully I won't need to use the last two once FultecBot is completely up and running.

    I have 4 monitors and you're not getting any and I do NOT have a problem

    Of course me as a console player do not use Monitors, But if I were to use monitors to use for my PC setup I would use 3 Curve (Not thin) Monitors  for my Computer Setup. its like the phrase goes, "Three heads are better than two".

    This is your intervention Ben, you don't need so many monitors, it's straining your eyes. Please stop.
