I have 2 monitors myself and use them both very often, but I would like to know how many monitors most people have and use.

Three ATM (2x1440p + 1x1080p) but I'm looking for a fourth (and another 1440p to replace the 1080p), three are fine for my workflow but I usually have one dedicated to entertainment so 3+1 is what I'm after now. All purely for productivity though I only game on one.

6 in total. 1 21:9 display, 4 1080p (one of them in portrait orientation) and a 1680x1050 monitor I use as a dedicated screen for my Security Cameras.

Two. I am very picky about having completely open space near my mousepad so I can't really add a third on my desk without it feeling weird.

you dont ask in forums "how many" and then go buy them all at once... thats stupid

 

you either already know because you have already done work on many monitors before, OR you start with one and work your way up according to your needs

I have 2 monitors because they are perfect for productivity and they don't require an awful lot of horse power. (It's the best compromise if you don't have a massive budget)
