I enjoy the fact that a modern graphics card easily handles three displays
with no tearing.  (Goodwill often has great display prices if, like me,
you don't need them to all be identical.)

For example when coding a Qt application I usually have the app and logs on
the left screen, Qt Creator in the middle, and documentation to the right.

This is much more efficient than alt-tabbing back and forth.
