This is a great place to go: Zenview multimonitor setups.

In particular:
https://www.digitaltigers.com/zenview-apex22h.asp <-- smaller size.
https://www.digitaltigers.com/zenview-apex27.asp <-- nice setup with the 27" monitors.
Now, anyone who has dual monitors already knows that productivity increases by at least double over that of a single monitor. Triple monitors, in my opinion, further increased my productivity. But I really like the 4th monitor because you can have stuff like notes, skype chats, slack chats, and other extranneous items opened in the 4th/top monitor while your productivity takes place across the three mains. |
I have been using a dual monitor setup since it was first possible in Windows. Love it.
I tried 3 monitors and even 4 at 1 time, but I didn't like it. Partly because my productivity seemed to go down, not up, and partly because of the mess it made of my desk.
My current setup is 2 x iMac 27's connected together to form a single desktop. It works well, but one machine is mostly under utilized, and in the summer my home office gets pretty hot even with air conditioning.
As the machines are 9 and 10 years old now, I've decided its time to replace them with the new iMac Mini 2018, and a 49" Monitor.
I was looking at the Ultra wides for a while, but none of them supported 1440 vertical resolution which is the vertical res I'm most comfortable at, until just recently.
In 1 way I want dual monitors. It's cheaper and I have the flexibility of moving one of them to another machine if I need to. Then again, using a single monitor means less wires, less clutter, and the option to connect multiple computers to it, and even run 2 computers side-by-side, and built-in KVM Controls too.
I'm looking forward to the new setup!
