QOTW: Do you prefer single or multiple monitors?

[Agrippa]

I don't have a workflow, at least not on the computer. In regards to every other kind of flow I'm digging 35" and 3440x1440.

[Gunbuster]

I prefer one, but it is also about space. I like having enough space for multiple windows. I use WindowPad to allow me to have custom splits. So I guess it feels a lot like the flexibility of multiple monitors with the option to merge back. I'd like to move to an ultrawide next, but right now the prices are pretty bad.

Two, I run a VM on one and the native OS on the other

[lodore]

Two monitors is my preferred but I see a use for a 3rd at work...

at home I normally have a web browser or game on one monitor and youtube on the other.

at work I could have email on one database on another and connected to a customer's machine or a server on the 3rd.

I ran two monitor for a while and I love it. Now I'm on one because I want to save money on electricity among other things.

Personally, with the usage I have for my PC (web browsing, gaming) I am quite happy using a single monitor, and wouldn't get a second as I have no need for it (and no desk space for it either!). If I was doing more intensive work, then it'd be more useful. When I have dabbled with Blender in the past, I think it'd be very handy having a second monitor for following tutorials and the like, but I wouldn't want to game over two monitors, so that one 'pro' wouldn't be enough to justify it.

Although I have two 27" 1440p IPS panels connected, I usually only have one powered on.

I just don't have the use for the 2nd screen while coding or gaming.

I ran 3 monitors for many years, first 1080p then 1440p but I have moved to a single huge 4k and I really have come to like it better than the triple wide setup.

[ddg3595]

I prefer a single monitor since I don't have a lot of desk space.

[Phrontis]

I have used 2 monitors since the mid 90's, CRT's to start with, then progressed to a pair of Dell 24" 16:10 LED's. Recently added a third monitor, a 32" Benq but went for the 2560 * 1440 as my ageing eyes cannot cope with 4K. I prefer my monitors at natural resolution with no scaling. Just wish I could get a 32" 4:3 monitor 2560 * 1920.

[Daveraver]

I Use a LG Ultrawide as my main 34" and a Dell 24" as a secondary , Gaming general stuff on the ultrawide and emails and tv on the 24" Dell. Love it

[EvilCycle]

In work I couldn't be without a multi monitor set up, but I don't take my work back or do much multi tasking at home so I just use the one here as my home PC is mostly just a gaming machine.

[Wozza63]

Have 3 at home, most of the time they're just displaying static stuff or a video I'm watching. But when I'm working I need more!

[wazzickle]

When I was playing online poker full time, 2 x 1080p monitors (even QHD wasn't common then) was an absolute necessity. Very little of my 'workflow' these days though is computer-based and what little I do have is easily handled by my 14" / 1080p laptop. If I go back to computer work I imagine I'll get a curved ultrawide.

[oranjedrol]

Got one 25" 1440p Dell ultrasharp and am happy for now (waiting on 4k HDR to go mainstream), wouldn't mind two or three curved monitors for immersive gaming

Have 2 16:9 23" at work but at at home have a 29" ultra wide. I much prefer my ultra wide set up.
