I’ve always worked with my phone and tablet. I recently got a laptop and now work with all 3. So much easier.

I have 3 screens at work including like a 32 inch I think... I'll have to measure. And on my home set up, 4 screens if you include the laptop screen which I sometimes use

I'm always on 2. When I need to be in a Zoom meeting I'm on 3.
Usually my phone is going in the background, does that count as 4?

My laptop plugs into a docking station with a large monitor and I keep my laptop open so that's one small and one big screen. It's what I'm used to now but ideally would love 2 big monitors

2, sometimes 3 (when I have access to 3, I can keep my calendar open all day)

I use 2 monitors plus iPad. What do you use your phone for?

We have 2 large monitors in the office downstairs. But I don't work. I use only one for shopping mostly.

Dh uses both, he works from home. Plus his phone.

DH switched from two large ones to a really wide curved screen. It's like having 3+ screens and way easier to look at and use.

I work from home and use 2 monitors. I didn't know you can use your phone as a monitor. How do you set it up?

2 large screens. I wish there was a way to have one super big screen that I can have all my programs open at once on without needing to minimize anything

You can't, and it would be tiny anyway. But some people do work stuff from phones and it seems op is counting that as a screen.

I would need one that wraps around the walls of my office. That wasn't invented yet was it? Maybe I just need electronic walls.

I sub for playgroup Morahs. No screens. Smile

I wipe butts, give bottles, feed solid food, lift kiddos in and out of pack and plays, rock strollers.... .I keep busy. The no screen aspect of the job is the BEST!
