For film composers (niche, I know) each screen can represent a distinct task all of which are happening simultaneously.

So:

- video reference

- synthesizers

- daw/waveform playback

- score

I wonder what other professions might find value in a similar setup.

i'm in the same vein but more film/video post production in general. most of the time, in addition to how ever many monitors attached to the computer, there is at least one reference video monitor (that can be properly calibrated) that only receives a video signal from whatever software is being used. with only 2 computer screens, one screen has my timeline and preview windows. the other monitor will have all of the bins and effects controls and other various windows. if i'm in a real edit bay with dedicated scopes i'll prefer those, but if i'm slumming it at home i'll have to make room for them on one of the monitors too (usually tabbed behind the source monitor).

I think thats good because you can manipulate the second screen without juggling the mouse pointer

I think those are the best use cases, input is a much greater bottleneck with additional screens if its limited to keyboard and mouse modifying those windows
