I doesn't work for me, but that's probably very application-specific. I'm not a dev nor a graphic/video artist, my work is motly editing office docs. Why it didn't work for me: 1- OSes are rather bad at handling large monitors. You can't just dumbly Maximize anymore, which is what I always do. Windows positions don't get memorized so your screen is a permanent mess. 2- I need the doc I'm working on, sources, and social/comms/entertainment. That's an ideal setup for 3 monitors and a good stand 3- it's hella expensive. 4- it maps better to how my brain works ?

I want back to 3 medium, cheap monitors, and I'm happier.

There is software to resolve issue 1 with keyboard or mouse/trackpad shortcuts for nearly all OSes.
