Just to know, I am with two 24" fullHD because it has around the height of an A4 paper page. and not 4k because at the distance can't see much of a difference while working. (gaming different deal) what are your choices?
/Sarcasm
i think the correct number of screens need for IT Professionals is 100 Screens.
/End-sarcasmI run with 2 at work, and 2 at home, I'm most comfortable with 2.

I have 3 at work. 2 at home on one system and 1 on another system. I would like more. I am going to be switching out my 23" 1080 monitors at work, for 27" or larger 4k monitors. If I am sitting on the couch with my laptop, I get frustrated by the lack of screens lol.

My stepfather has 4 that are linked to different machines via software the simulates the mouse movement across screens seamlessly. He likes having Fedora but also has to have windows for some in house applications.
I use 1 at work and two at home.
-
3 at work, 2 at home (no space for 3), only 1 in the studio/rehearsal space (might get swapped for a 42" tv soon).

Sounds familiar. It could be. I'll ask him.

I use it at home between the two systems.

It's pretty useful if you want to have one running windows and one running linux

At work, two monitors.
At home, I use to have three screens now its only a TV and a monitor.I use GNOME3 workspaces a lot so two screens works pretty well for me.
-
I think two is the sweet spot for most folks.
At work I have 1 x 34" and just use VirtuaWin for virtual desktops.
At home, I've got my 17" laptop with one screen, and 2 desktops that have 1 screen... Gods, I need to set up Synergy on them!
-
I have 3 24" screens on my desk at work, and rarely see my desk at work. End up working on the 14" laptop screen almost exclusively.
At home, 3 screens as well. 24" 1820x1040, 32" 2550x1600, 55" TV (1820x1040). Normally playing games on the 32", reading on the 24" and YouTube/Twitch/Netflix going on the TV.

I have 4 monitors set up 2x2 vertical because I'm 1 out of 2 IT guys at my company. 1 screen for email and the other 3 for all other insanity.
-
I use two 27", but am considering going to three when I pull off getting more desk space.

I would use one for email, and one just for IMs!

Yeah, too many and you start to risk distraction.

2 at work a my phone at home
Could do with swapping the 24" for slightly bigger like 27". But a Scott said too many and I'd loose what I was doing on each. -
Typical on site at clients. I ask for a spare monitor.
-
3 monitors + lappy screen at work. Typically just a laptop on the recliner or couch at home, I've got a desk with an E-Dock and 2 monitors in the basement if I really need to work on something (generally try to avoid it though).

I've used different multimonitor setups for years. It used to be that one monitor didn't have enough screen estate so you'd have 2 to 6 monitors to compensate. But 3-4 years ago larger monitors started to show up and that is what I use now. So one 40-50" inch 16:9 monitor, preferably curved.
I'm still longing for something wider with more pixels so I hope someone will make a curved 21:9 at around 55".
