How Many Monitors Do You Use?

Using 3
Main: Asus 27" 1440p
Right: Samsung 27" 1080p
Left: iPad Pro through Duet App

I'm a software developer, and I like having the IDE on main screen, product and web on right, and documentation and designs on the iPad on the left

Do you use multiple monitors? If so, how many? And would you recommend multiple displays or one large screen?

I am using 2 x 27" Apple Cinema Displays, both are mini-DP and both are second-hand, got each for CAN $500 on Kijiji 2 years ago One display is connected to motherboard via simple DP<>mDP adapter, while another one is using an active ATLONA converter DVI to mDP (this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CWEXWO/?tag=tonymacx86com-20), which is now seems to be obsolete but works perfectly and supports all display's functions including the color/brightness adjustment commands being used by ColorMunki colorimeter tool.

I would recommend dual-display (at least dual )configuration no matter what are you doing. It is just comfortable and convenient to split the information between two screens. To say nothing about working with FCP X, which is my very hobby

Regards,
Serge

I have three , but i mostly use two because they are right in front of me. The third is actually a TV which is above my two screens it's mainly used to watch videos.
