    I thought I was safe with 2 x 26" monitors... But turns out having 1 monitor dedicated to Remote Desktop screwup my visual real estate! My table is too small for 3x26" monitors as well :( (and I am not sure about 2x30").. First world problems! :O :((

          I use 2 monitors and 2 (virtual) desktops for a total of 4 screen surfaces. I assume you know about that but for some reason is not a good solution for you.

            It's about having all the window I need visible at the same time! I can swap window easily enough...

              Maybe a smaller 3rd monitor will give you some breathing room? I have 1x30" and 1x24" + the 15" for the laptop (the laptop under the 24"). It is not enough space (nothing EVER is), but the 15" is enough to stuff a reference website, email or similar on - which means I can get by with the 3 monitors. Not enough space for the 4th monitor though (and it requires me to use the eGPU that keeps tripping the fuse when I turn it on - so too much hazzle to get an inrush limiter for it).

                just get a huge wall hang screen projector. The kind used for conferences, etc. That should be enough screen size for you. :laugh:

                    I have 2 40" flat Panel TVs One on each desk. It provides all of the screen space I need and the TV's don't cost that much.

                      This works for me. I keep email and Teams open on one, most of my work is on the bottom two. I use the top ones for things I need to reference quickly, such as table layouts.

                        I own such a projector. It's not about size, it's about resolution. Whether the display is 24" or 100", if the resolution is the same, you can't view any more information - it's just bigger. It comes to a point where the screen door effect makes it completely pointless. If I had to put measurements to it, if you want something worthy of the display area of a projector, it would need to be 8K. Otherwise it's just wasting physical space. I have a 40" TV displaying a 4K image; at that size, text is just a tiny bit too small for my eyesight at its native resolution (at arm's length).
