Whoa. What's the story there ? Are you using some specialized system or
is just that they fit on your workspace well and you like multi-head?
The latter, really. It started as a dual-head PC and the nearby third
monitor on an Indy got a KVM switch. Then a while ago I snagged a 2-up
2-across stand and happened to have 4 matching Iiyamas that had cost me
nothing, so... It's grown organically and a lot cheaper than buying one
really large hi-res display. The two graphics cards can actually drive
three monitors each but that really would be OTT, and besides then I'd
probably have to actually /buy/ something.
It's useful when photo editing or doing anything "interesting" on the
network that needs a lot of windows. The KVM is still there so
sometimes the top right is displaying the Indy desktop.
