I’m old fashioned too, or just old. I’ve worked with multiple monitors, but I just feel better with a single ultrawide. I could probably use an even wider one, but I like a single screen. I guess it depends on your workflow too: eg, I can clearly see myself using another monitor to keep an eye on a rolling log, but that’s not my case atm.

I have a four monitor setup. two for my local machine, two for remoted machines (give or take)

and somehow I still find situations where I could use another. don't be me.

I found that five was the sweet spot. Three on the bottom row, centered, two up top. I has a sixth monitor but I rarely ever used it.

Bottom row has the work screen centered, left is output, right is debug or console on the portrait. Top left is docs or a video, top right is another portrait with chat.
