2, because more creates issues.

My old PC had five monitors in a surround setup, twas.... Kinda shit, they were all different brands

@manikyath what kind of issues? I have 7 and the only issues I find is boot from off to desktop takes about 3 seconds longer for my graphics to load all the shit.

would happily use more than two if my PC even support more than two display (i use small sff dell ssytem because of space constraint) and i have more desk space.

get higher res displays, it'll change your opinion on many monitors

1 1440p ultrawide + 2 1440p monitors

I've tried higher res, for people like me, number of monitors with the same number of pixels outweighs less monitors.

I'm 100% open to the idea of the same amount of monitors I have now and them all being higher res, I'm just not that interested in less monitors for the sake of higher res.

you need a quadro.

What does that have to do with it? ;p

@BurgerBum what are you using 7 monitors for?

because with the nvidia drivers for quadro cards you can split montiors into multiple virtual displays

with visual borders, different resolutions, orientations, and different angles facing me? I don't think so. ^~^ @manikyath.

@scruffy90 four at my desk for productivity, two TV's at my bed (one LCD one CRT.) and one mounted on an arm at my bed for late night youtube.

^ that is why i have a media center..

How do you mean media centre?

seperate PC to bolt all the TV's to

Quadros are so expensive though

doesnt have to be new

@manikyath yes, I'll build two seperate computers fully capable of gaming on ultra and emulation rather than just one and a longer cable.

@BurgerBum steam in-home streaming.

Why would I stream to a TV when its fucking 7 feet away. Just get a cable.

because i found it more practical than dealing with one pc having displays all over the place

I don't see how.
I'm more efficient to get used to one tool that does everything than having multiple tools that do similar things in different scenarios. but okay.

it's like those multitools that take half an hour to unfold because they have SO MANY tools, instead of just having a box of pliers.

I don't see how taht applies to a computer.
I walk over to where I wanna use the computer at, and open up what I want. Instantly. it doesn't take extra time to go through hundreds of menus to get to emulation on a different screen.
