1 or 2 screens, what works best for you?

Little question, thinking about using 1 screen instead of 2 because the LG one is sh*t and the Dell one is broken...

(Oh and dual monitors arent working very well in OS X)

Are you not using Mavericks? I remember the old versions used to blank the other screens but not any more

2 screens, helps with work to have double the room.

 

Was fine with 1, until I used 2 extensively now wouldn't swap back. Would like another really.

The second you get another, you want to get more. Space is really helpful for work and for gaming.

1.333 Also know as 21:9

I'd really like one of those, but then I question why they even exist when you can essentially get a 1440p monitor for the same price (Or much less) , and have a huge amount of extra height

i'd like to have 2 but i just have 1 atm. I think 1 isnt enough for me :D

I'll be upgrading to 4k at the end of the year or so and then i'll have the ~30" 4k + my 24" 1080p. That should be enough.

2 at a bare minimum. I have on in landscape and one in portrait (that pivots if I need it in landscape) as my default setup on my personal PC and I constantly find myself running out of screen space.

I have 6 on my office workstation, and on my next build I will be using 5 or 6.

The point is aspect ratio not resolution.

8, at a minimum. Can't work with less.

I'm all for lots of screens but what in the world are you doing to need at least 8 screens.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

Laptop - Lenovo X230 Intel 535 480GB, 16GB Gskill memory, Classic Keyboard Mod, Triple USB 3.0 Express Card.

I used 2 for a bit, but now that I have a 1440p 27", one is enough.
