I have 4 in my current configuration. Each is a drastically different shape, size, and resolution from the other. I like variety and its good for testing.

I don't know I would have a use case for 4 monitors. I barely can justify a 3rd one, but I'm happy it works for you. How do you use them ?

so configuration wise I have 3 side by side and the 4th over top of all 3...its a 4k tv so pretty large. the TV is usually dedicated to monitoring tools... logs, alerts, etc... one screen is usually for my browser for documentation and such. The middle screen is for editors and command shells. The last screen is for live communications... slack, IRC, email, IM... so they all get used pretty much all the time.
