    OK so now imagine 4 things you’re doing and they take up the width of one monitor each

    That’s an assumption I [Edit (bad English): contend challenge]. Often when I see people who claim they need n monitors, then they’re wasting screen space like nothing. For instance, giving 2560px to a web browser that effectively uses the 920px in the middle to display text, because reading a line across 17 inches is terrible.

      /shrug You can challenge that assumption, and it might be the case for you, but if you’re a developer, or you’re working in applications like DaVinci Resolve, or you’re comparing multiple spreadsheets, or you’re comparing a spreadsheet with your taxes, or the list goes on and on. For example, here is someone developing a game with Unity https://i.sstatic.net/TrHVR.png and they don’t even have their IDE window up!

      Here’s a really good example 😉 https://www3.nasa.gov/specials/mcc360/
