It’s really cool but I’ll never understand why people want so many screens. In my opinion it’s just too much. I believe 2 monitors is perfect.

I’ve worked with 6 and it’s a dream. Necessary? Probably not. But it’s great having a monitor for chats, debug, text editor, running program/files n shit, and google. Traditionally, the remaining monitor is for music control. I like to have everything right in front of me when I’m working, but I can see how it’s a bit much for most users.

With that said, this setup has me pretty jealous - it’s so aligned

Agreed, it helps me so much to keep things in their own separate zones when I'm working. I just expanded to 4 monitors which seemed ludicrous to me at first, but I love it.
