A sure sign that someone doesn't know what they're doing is if they use 3 or more monitors for programming. And also interested in their neck related issues 10+ years later.

One screen for documentation/browser
One screen for running the application (being developed).
Please, go ahead a explain to me how I don’t know what I’m doing.
I've been using 42" 4K TVs as my monitor for like 10 years now. 2 years ago I upgraded to an OLED LG A1 and it has been amazing. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/a1-oled For anyone using a TV I recommend using https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay to properly scale the display.
I love this blog post. “It can display seven equally spaced vertical columns of text (critical importance), has driver issues (minimal importance), wake issues (who cares), it costs as much as four smaller monitors (this is good), I need a huge desk (hell yeah), there are multiple image quality issues (well it’s not like I have to look at it all day)…” It is like “I spent fifteen hundred dollars on a multitude of has…
I am still on dual fullhd display and was considering a single 4K or 5K display vetween 27 and 32".
> The bezels and gaps in between the monitors introduce distractions and one is limited in how one may arrange terminals and windows across multiple displays. To me, the segmentation is a feature. It lets me offload information density and focus. For example, I commonly have an editor on one screen, a browser on the second, and something like a chat app, terminal, etc on the laptop screen.
Nobody's stopping you from segmenting one big monitor into different regions; and you get to choose how big those regions are from day to day rather than being forced into it.

Every modern major OS now has some level of tiling/splitting on a monitor's edges baked into their window manager by default now. Some can be tweaked to split into smaller subgroups, but that often requires less well tested/polished options (some apps just ignore the hints), or even third party extensions.
After 15 years of having a desk job I find that I’m more sensitive to the position I sit in. My back feels a lot better if I have a single, regular sized screen right in front of me, instead of having additional screen estate on the sides or below (as with a laptop). At the same time I use virtual desktops that I can switch with both keyboard and mouse.
Same for me. I just tried a curved 27 inches monitor and I hate it.
Isn't "plain" DP 1.4 confined to HBR3 - thus its maximum refresh rate is 8K-30Hz?
