What are people's thoughts on multiple monitors for productivity?
-
How can more real estate be a bad thing? And monitors are so inexpensive these days. Seems like a no-brainer to me. I use a pair of 27" monitors for my main set up and a pair of 23" for my secondary office (upstairs). I tend to make one screen be the home base for whatever app I am focused on and the 2nd screen is the one I use to bounce around to whatever secondary things I am working with (you know, like youtube, craigslist, facebook :P)
-
I'm only using one most of the time for packing reasons (because of the travel.) But whenever I have a solid desk two is my minimum and I often go for three.
-
I'm currently on 3x 27" 2560x1440 screens and thinking very hard about adding a 4th to get to this setup, now that I have a graphics card that can handle it.
Totally agree w/ the comment "How can more real estate be a bad thing?"

I like two 24" and then I'm happy.

39" 4K + 26" 1080P - love it. Wish I'd gone larger for the 4K (oh and 60hz is a must)

Nice! What 39" are you on? Not the Seiki I reckon because it's 30 Hz.

I have 2 23". Sometimes I wish I had, because somehow netflix inadvertently becomes full screen......

@creayt the seiki is how I know 60hz is a must lol - but for $300 I really can't complain.

Ahhh, very nice. Believe it or not I tried to use a Seiki 39" 4k on two separate occasions, I actually loved the size and clarity, etc, but yeah, the 30 Hz got to me. Do you use it for work work or just gaming or media or what?
-
@creayt 50/50 gaming (at 1080P60hz) and CAD/Research @ 4k
-
Desktop running Dual ASUS 24" monitors here,.. and will go to 3 when I get my final desk setup...
-
My main monitors are 27", but I'd be happier with 32".
