I wonder what everyone else is using these days ? I can take some inspirations from your posts.
Then I have another monitor behind (connected to another computer) in landscape mode showing some dashboards etc, but it's off at the moment.
I like having two, because you can dock/organize windows more cleanly than with one giant monitor.
I was reminiscing about how much dual monitors used to be a pretty standard thing, and definitely pretty helpful when economical monitors maxed out at 1920x1080, but seems much less prevalent these days. Not too surprising I guess considering the costs, space consumption, hardware, cables, etc etc.
At work, a couple of Dell 27" UHD monitors attached to my Windows laptop via DP ports on a dock. Single desktop as I have plenty of screen space. I mostly live in Visual Studio and Outlook/Teams.
No complaints about either - all works pretty well.
The benefit for me is I use the main system to look things up and then switch to the target system and I have the main display as a reference and the other as well,
Used to have the side monitor as the KVM one, but find I work better with the switched monitor the one in the center, as a side display I would get sore/tired neck from always looking to the side. With it center I am more comfortable to concentrate on the task at hand on the other system I have up.
Moved to it from 2 Dell displays. After years of dual displays, I'm glad I made this switch.
