4 on my main setup + 1 laptop

I'm loving that one. If I had more space, believe, me I would do it just like yours. Currently I have one 27 inch 4K monitor as my main display and a second 27 1080p monitor as well. So, 2. Not bad in my opinion. The 4K display provides plenty of room for all sorts of tasks.
 
Well that obviously depends on what you are putting on your screen:

- complex 3D graphics: it will slow down a lot since each pixel that has to be rendered for the scene adds work
- 2D graphics: if you have complex graphics (eg illustrator and perhaps PS) it may actually be faster since you're scrolling less
- normal apps: by my measure, there is no slowdown whatsoever. I run 19W GT 710s x 2 + Intel HD 530 IG and there is no slowdown on my 3 x 4K monitors (plus a 1080p monitor), which is a total of about 26 million pixels. I'm running an i5-6500.
thanks for reply, i see my friend's original imac 27 5K display few days ago, you can find some more "crystal clear" look if you look thoroughly of course, but it's not such a big difference compare to my apple 27" cinema display (2560x1440) so decision is stay on my "old" cinema display problem solved :)
 
I use 3 monitors on my main hack. I can never go back to 2 or 1 monitor tho I love having everything on seperate monitors I'm very fussy :lol:
