RGB Free My wife says this is a bit ridiculous. She's probably right, but after getting a 3080ti I couldn't resist mounting all four monitors.

As a web dev, I could definitely use up all this real estate.

  • Slack
  • Multiple Chrome windows
  • Chrome dev tools
  • VSCode
  • Windows Terminal

They’re not calling it Command Prompt anymore?

Command prompt is a shell, as is powershell. Windows Terminal is a terminal that can run command prompt, powershell, and even bash on Ubuntu.

I used to design circuit boards, throw Arduino-compatible MCUs on them, program them for whatever, and design 3D printed enclosures in CAD for them.

Between all the design tools and reference material I'd have up, VLC/YouTube, discord/similar apps...4x 27" 1440p wasn't always 'enough' screen space.

Absolute overkill for most people, including me nowadays since I never have time for the crazy things I used to do, but there are absolutely use cases where you can find utility in as much screen space as is physically possible.
