It's also pretty bad if you have a personal computer and a work computer. It's mystifying that they sell $1000+ monitors with a single input. Like a terrible no name $100 POS these days will typically have two, if not 3 inputs.
Once upon a time you could daisy chain Displayport monitors.
The Matrox TripleHead2Go seems to remain relevant so many years after it's introduction, I used to run 3 monitors on my HP dock with one. Dynamite.
Apple might be the only major manufacturer to not provide their own docking solution that work extremely well, beyond trying to do it with a display.
As soon as the "pro" moniker is used, 2, if not 3 monitors are completely normal. Extra wide monitors do not cut it. 3 24" 2k monitors at 2560x1440 can be far preferable to a single ultrawie that barely provides 2 monitors worth of pixels in the same space.
Lenovo, HP, Dell, Microsoft, all have it nailed. Used almost all of them before Apple.
