At one point, you could get an iMac plus matching Apple monitor, it was spendy but doable. Now Apple no longer makes monitors, so an iMac is no-go for me, unless someone makes a monitor that looks exactly like an iMac.

Wow, I hadn't realized. I know that a couple of years ago, you could buy Apple 5k 27" monitors (for $999), which seemed crazy, but would have given you matching 27" monitors. I also have had at least dual monitors for many, many years, and at work have been using anywhere from 2-4.

I think for my home PC, I could get by either using the 27" to display 2 programs and/or using the OSX multiple desktop feature which is great. I remember when windows and Linux were hot for the multiple desktop thing. It was pretty moderate in practice, but the OSX version seems to work much better.
