Yeah, I've had 3 monitors forever, and for a while I tried 4 [1].
I do webinars where obviously one monitor is displayed. I find it clumsy - switching between the code, the program, log, browser, docs and so on.
In general work I focus on one task, but I find that many programs are involved at one time. Docs on one, code on another, program on a third and so on.
I also have a need for email to be open, along with Skype etc. Those get hidden often though, hence my need for the 4th.
[1] my experiment with 4 failed because the horizontal spread was too far, and it was tiresome to swivel to the 4th.i considered putting the 4th above the 3, but felt that too might be "out of eyeline". So for now I'm maxed on 3.
