DW works from home, and has dual 27s. Her work involves multiple browser supported apps and she can get a few open to prevent constant tabbing.
Congrats on your pending retirement.I also have the a 43 inch 4K monitor.. it's beyond amazing since you can run it at 4K without having to scale the fonts like you do with the smaller 4K monitors.
I also recommend buying the best monitor that you can afford especially if you're using all day long.. I do that with all of my computer accessories (keyboard, mouse, monitor, mic, video, etc) instead of using the cheap ones that were included with your computer.
my 2 cents.. Soon to be former IT Manager.. 2 week countdown..

I have three 19" monitors side by side.
Great for w*rk, but otherwise I think 2 would be OK.
Put the music video on the side.
Hey we have the same chair!Forty three inch 4K on the wall.

Soundbar under. Wireless subwoofer on the corner of the ceiling. Rocks!

FWIW, I use 3 27" monitors and it works great for me.
Three 27" here, upgraded recently from a 27 and 2x24s in a BTD moment (all three are identical models now).
I have gone to 32" LG 2560 × 1440 monitors during Zoom times with my laptop set up beside for even more real estate. My son stows his laptop under his desk and drives a curved 34" Samsung 3440 x 1440 monitor.
27" on the desk, 55" on the wall that I watch using a wireless keyboard from my recliner!View attachment 41098
You all are making me feel like a pauper over here with my one 24" monitor I purchased 5 years ago. I need to BTD and upgrade soon!!
Good points on that.

My laptop has only USB-C or USB3.0 outputs.
I think getting a nice hub with two HDMI/DP outputs will be the plan.
That way, one cable to plug into the laptop. Also, they come with USB-C charging so, can provide power to the laptop as well.
I'll just have to suck it up on the cable clutter.

I may just get another 27" display. I just want to not lose too much deskspace and also want to avoid clutter.
I briefly looked into a smaller (<43") TV but, pickings were slim for anything < 40". I don't want a wall mount, just desk.
When I worked full time I had two nice 27" displays side-by-side attached to an adjustable stand. Also had a nice docking station, etc.
It was great.
Now, I am doing part time consulting work and don't have that big a budget.
