True, there probably is no direct correlation between multiple monitors and professional developers..... But G*D damn, having multiple monitors are super useful when it comes to desktop management. I started off with 2 monitors and 3 virtual desktops (same apps always on same virtual desktops), and for the last 5 years have been working on three monitors (hardly ever use virtual desktops these days). 2 monitors were already a massive upgrade and 3 seems to be the sweet spot for me (desk space and peripheral vision). My setup: 21" vertical on the left (1080x1920) 27" landscape in the middle (2560x1440) 21" vertical on the right (1080x1920) All aligned on the top edge of the monitors. e-mail client, web browser, console windows, help files (eg: pdfs, chm or inf) are normally on the outer monitors, and development tools are always in the middle. I absolutely love this setup!
