Is it weird to have 3 screens for my PC?

I have a gaming monitor, general monitor, and a TV for my PC. The first monitor is a typical 1440p display which will fulfill my editing and web searching. The second one is just for gaming at 155hz. I will use this for anything related to games. The last display is a 4k Tv just for viewing videos. This including Netflix, Primevideo and absolutely everything. Is this weird?

    I have eight monitors on my PC.  But then, I work in IT and at any given moment and 4 or more of them monitoring different systems, a coupe that I use to work on my PC and a couple were I am remotely connected to PCs or servers that I am doing work on.  (Plus a second system next to me with six more monitors for when I need to be working on two different systems at the same time, or I need to give a vendor access to work on a system without tying up my PC.

    it's certainly not typical for MOST people, but as long as they serve a purpose and you turn them off when not in use, who cares?

    It isn't weird to have 2, 3, or even 4 monitors. That's common for people who have jobs where they need to have a lot of information.  You can buy stands that hold more than one monitor.

    A good example is software development. Someone debugging might want to be able to quickly switch between looking at the source code, a stack trace, contents of several variables, a console, and GUI display. 

    But, why do YOU have 3 screens? How often are you editing / web searching, watching videos and gaming at the same time?
