I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.
I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.
I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.
What about y'all?

I currently run 3 and am actively trying to figure out how to get more in my space.
I want my workstation to look like Neil Peart set it up.
I have a 4 monitor stand that puts two of them on top. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGSI5WS
Mine is similar, but I have an ultra wide on top, a standard on the bottom-left, and my laptop on the bottom-right at my home work station.
