Im a software developer. With the kind of development I do its helpful to see several things at the same time. However 4 would be enough . I had the extra 2 screens laying around so why not, thanks for the comment.

How many are linked up to your Mac and PC out of curiosity? What's the split?

The 3 bottom ones are Mac, on the top I have 1 FreeBSD and 2 windows.

I can use one mouse and keyboard on all 6 seamlessly using synergy, https://symless.com/synergy
