    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

      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.

      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.

        I’m the same person who also has 600 (Not an exaggeration) Chrome Firefox tabs open at a time LMAO

        It’s a lot easier to just have whatever windows open on a monitor than constantly switching between windows. Sure there’s 1 or 2 that just has Spotify open or whatever, but there’s also ones with ya know documentation open or a browser or an IDE or RDP sessions there’s also a dedicated crib monitor one as well
