            Giant monitor >>> multiple monitors. For my internship of making 3D animations I had a really big monitor on my desk. I could fit every single viewport and UI element I ever needed on that screen!

              Dude either needs to streamline to two monitors, or pick up iRacing.

              Only reason I'd have 3 monitors is for racing sims, but even then I usually use VR anyway.

              Two is fine for most.

                My boss has three two! I have two and it annoys me. I would rather have one large screen but I don’t rank enough to get one at work.

                  I struggle to understand hype for most things nowadays.

                  It's weird I just don't feel it now.

                  I went to see a band I should have went to see 20 years ago. I can't say I felt much hype beforehand. The hype only started when the intro played and the band started walking out.

                  Within the first couple of songs I was a mess with happy tears, but everything leading up to it? I was just chill, totally unphased.

                  I think I'm broken 👍

                    I have 4. Game, discord and task manager, Japanese and YouTuber, code practice. It's an adhd man's dream and nightmare. Without 2 minimum It sucks. 3 is the sweet spot I feel. 4 is overkill

                        I didn't get it either until one class in high school (graphic design) had second monitors installed for all work stations halfway through the year. It's super useful being able to have reading material open on a vertical monitor! Only reason I don't have one still is because of very limited space (can't even fit a normal PC).

                        I did start using my TV as a second monitor recently though for putting Zoom meetings on it. I got tired of having to alt tab back to it every once in a while when doing stuff. TV sits behind my laptop so only like half the screen is visible but it's good enough!

                            Most social media stuff.

                            Omg did you hear X did Y?

                            I guess I'm just old but I don't follow most. Even with dogpiling PirateSoftware. Yes, he's wrong and probably lied. I just don't get the hype around it. I'm happy that the hype led to Stop Killing Games getting enough traction though, that was nice.

                              When doing work that requires multiple apps to be open or file explorers, web pages, and reference stuff then having a second is very convenient a lot of the time. Yeah, I could stretch it out on one giant monitor if it was an option, but two just makes it easy to keep track of what is where by having physical breaks.

                              At home it is great for having discord or other thing off to the side for communication or reference while playing games full screen on one monitor instead of needing to alt tab or use windowed mode smaller than full screen. If I did a more immersive driving/flying set up I would have three for the wrap around effect and a fourth for the extra stuff.

                              Both situations are for convenience.

                              I do know someone at work that has three but they handle the infrastructure and they often have multiple apps and browsers open for all the things that interact when troubleshooting and having it large and readable makes it easier to see what is changing and what isn't changing at the same time.

                                  Finally got to play Nightreign, and that's at the front of my mind as an answer to this question. Love Elden Ring; but after a few expeditions in Nightreign, I'm never touching it again.

                                    This was not a response I expected, I thought the only people who didn't like multiple monitors were ones who never tried it lol

                                    My peak was like 8 monitors, I'm at 6 now, but I can never go back to a single one long term. Whenever I do it temporarily for whatever reason it's agonizing

                                      I don't care who the government sends, I will not waste my time with radio talk shows rebranded as podcasts.

                                      I am guilty of chucking Second Wind and Friends Per Second on the TV when there's nothing good on since they talk about good topics and bother with presentation for a viewing audience, though.
