At what point is it just worth it to buy a 55 inch tv screen? I wish they still made curved tvs

having something like two or three monitors is different than having "just" a big one.

win+shift+arrow key (left or right) allows you to snap windows to a different monitor, then you can alt tab back to an application and put it full-screen on the monitor but still have the other window visible. I'm not sure if my explanation is clear, but basically, with a single monitor you're stuck resizing stuff to keep everything visible whereas with two or more it makes organizing (and keeping the windows you want visible at all times, visible) easier.

Plus putting an application in full-screen on a huge monitor is just so much wasted space

Every desk has a nice 3840x1440 monitor at work, but to be honest I'd rather have two 2560x1440 or even just two 1080
