    When doing work that requires multiple apps to be open or file explorers, web pages, and reference stuff then having a second is very convenient a lot of the time. Yeah, I could stretch it out on one giant monitor if it was an option, but two just makes it easy to keep track of what is where by having physical breaks.

    At home it is great for having discord or other thing off to the side for communication or reference while playing games full screen on one monitor instead of needing to alt tab or use windowed mode smaller than full screen. If I did a more immersive driving/flying set up I would have three for the wrap around effect and a fourth for the extra stuff.

    Both situations are for convenience.

    I do know someone at work that has three but they handle the infrastructure and they often have multiple apps and browsers open for all the things that interact when troubleshooting and having it large and readable makes it easier to see what is changing and what isn’t changing at the same time.
