… if you know how to use virtual desktops and shortcuts. You can’t look at two screens at a time, anyways.

One use case I can understand is having a 2nd monitor for checking stock prices or checking for a certain event. Other than that, I don’t see how it contributes to “productivity” while working or coding for example.

P.S: Tiling WM users may understand this post more

    I’m a mobile phone only person outside of work, but for work I refuse to exist with less than 3 screens: One main one for working, the screen of my docked laptop for references and documentation, and a 90° tilted screen with my Outlook calendar and Teams constantly open so that I can always check them both on a glance (got all Teams and Outlook notifications off since they’re distracting).

    Honestly, I’m actually thinking about either upgrading my main screen to something curved/ultrawide or getting a fourth one, but the extra weight might actually be a concern for my stand/sit desk lol
