    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

      There no way you’re actively using 6 monitors at the same time. How many of this are just storing windows you don’t look at for an hour at a time.

        It’s a whole lot faster to turn my head to check on a process than to Alt-Tab 30 times hoping I don’t miss the window I’m looking for.

        Though 6 monitors seems a bit nuts to me, but I don’t know what he’s doing.

        I can use 3 when I have some long-running tasks, or need to RDP into multiple systems. It’s just easier than using a tabbed remote tool like mRemote.

      It’s taken me awhile to figure out, but I feel like the vast majority of people dismiss new things if they aren’t:

      1. Very clearly presented in exactly applicable use-cases for the person, including easy to understand benefit explanations. 2. They try it themselves in a way that the benefits are immediately apparent and understandable.
