Two for me, plus the laptop one on the side. What about you? Feel free to post pics if you like.

Poor Grammar and being long winded don't fit well together, Oh well.

I have one actual monitor, but no desktop.

It's about time I sell it.

2 identical laptops, and 2 identical U2410's on my desk. Laptop docks are wired to the screens so that I can use both U2410's as external monitors on either laptop if I want.

Why sell it? Are you one of those people who just use a laptop and solo, with no monitors hooked up to it? Ive always wondered how people do it as laptop screens are just too small and low....hello neck strain.

I use mine for business. Once you've tried 2 monitors, you'll never go back to just 1 monitor.

I've tried 3 monitors - not a lot of difference with 2 for my use case, so I went back to 2.

Are we talking total monitors for all machines or hooked to one computer?

I currently have two but I am giving up my office space and making a small desk in the corner of my man cave so I will only have room for one monitor. It will be weird going back to one monitor but I will also hook it up to the 55" TV in the same room which already has my media PC connected to it.

1 monitor, attached to my laptop. Never understood why people want/need multiple monitors, but to each their own.

Wow, surprised so many people use more than one

I've never used dual monitors in my life.. Maybe I should start, lol

Is it best if you have all identical monitor models I guess?

I never used dual screens. But started using at work and love it now. Cannot work without it.

Had a 27" and a 24", but just didn't find much use for the second monitor so I took it off. Prefer to just use one monitor... 27" (2560x1440). I want one of those ultrawide screens.

I'm using three at the moment. I've had the 3 monitor setup for about a year. Before that I had a two monitor setup for 4+ years.

I find the 3rd screen to be of marginal use ever since I graduated from school. But I will always swear by having two screens at the very least. A secondary screen adds so much utility in many many circumstances.
