      Just to know, I am with two 24" fullHD because it has around the height of an A4 paper page. and not 4k because at the distance can't see much of a difference while working. (gaming different deal) what are your choices?

      I've used different multimonitor setups for years. It used to be that one monitor didn't have enough screen estate so you'd have 2 to 6 monitors to compensate. But 3-4 years ago larger monitors started to show up and that is what I use now. So one 40-50" inch 16:9 monitor, preferably curved.

      I'm still longing for something wider with more pixels so I hope someone will make a curved 21:9 at around 55".

        @Pete-S Hey Pete, 40" to 55" sound's crazy.

            It's because most people are used to working on very small screens, like one tiny 24".

            But it's not really as big as you might imagine:
            https://core4.staticworld.net/images/article/2016/05/dell-4k-monitor-100662717-large.jpg
            It's 43" Dell in the pic.

            Monitors in this size goes for around $550 to $850 so they're not that expensive.

                2 at work and 2 at home. Soon to be 3 at home if I can find a decent looking monitor mount for my desk. I want 3 monitors at home but don’t want the space taken up my monitor stands.

                  2.5 screens seems to be right number for me! Seriously though sometimes I use 3 screens and sometimes i just use 2. It depends on what I'm dojng but for certain tasks I like the 3rd screen. Mostly of the time, I throw up a terminal split with terminator into 6 windows and run glances on some remote servers on my 3rd screen.

                    We use 3x QHD 27" monitors when space allows.
                    4k requires too much windows "scaling" (read: blurry) for this size of screen whereas QHD at 100% scaling with browser zoom set to 125% is just about perfect for most of us.

                      I'd prefer something like this:

                      But 2 or 3 regular works.

                        MicroCenter has a 40" 4k for $399 that I've been eyeing. Had to pay for car repairs instead of new monitor tho 😞

                          I've 1 main screen: 27'' 2k. Another aux screen: an old 19'' hd+.
                          I'm going to replace the latter with a 23'' full hd.

                            My stepfather has 4 that are linked to different machines via software the simulates the mouse movement across screens seamlessly. He likes having Fedora but also has to have windows for some in house applications.

                            I use 1 at work and two at home.

                            Syngergy?

                            It was Synergy btw
