Apple Studio Display, and a Samsung 2K 24-inch, portrait, as my 'reference' screen, where I put things I need to refer to, while I'm working on the main display.
Text on MacOS looks rubbish on low-res displays. A 48" screen at 4K is only 92 pixels per inch.

(3x) iiyama 27" 5K [DisplayPort] on Mac Mini with eGPU.
(1x) Dell 27" 5K [Dual-cable Displayport] on Trashcan Mac Pro.
Both models are long discontinued. I got great deals on all of these, so have ended up with four true 5K displays (w/ the same LG panel Apple used) for not much money total

BenQ MA320U - I was hoping to get one of the new Asus 32" 6K displays but they weren't available when I replaced my 27" iMac with an M4 Pro mini earlier this year. I've been really happy with the display so far, but may upgrade to a 32" 6K display in the coming year when they become available.
Mac Pro 2013 uses an LG HDR WFHD 34" Display. Love the screen real estate it gives for Logic Pro (used solely for music production).
Mac mini M2 uses a Late-2014 5K 27" iMac screen. Gutted the iMac I've had since buying it, bought a $100AUS adapter to use the screen, found a YT link on how to do it all - saved myself $2500 on an ASD (also sold the internals for $100 so made my adapter money back). No speakers or camera, but I have external speakers and an iPhone with continuity for camera so no biggie. Was a good project to work on too.

A cheap Philips 27 inch 4K monitor. My 4k Dell monitor died the first of the year so I had to get this one.
Dual 27" monitor setup at the moment with my Mac Studio. Apple Studio Display is the main display in front of me and then a cheap 27" 4K monitor is my second monitor off to the right. Been using it for about 2 1/2 years now and it's been great for when I need to WFH and then do content creation on the side.
I'm thinking about replacing the dual monitor setup with one of the upcoming 32" 6K monitors in the future.

Five 30" Apple Cinema Displays, one 23" Apple Cinema Display, one 20" Apple Cinema Display, one 55" HDTV, one Lenovo 23" Dell 19" monitor and one Dell 23" monitor. For a total of 10 displays. All are attached to my MacPro, which has three video cards.
Two of my 30" Cinema Displays are shared with my work issued M2 MBP via a KVM.

A ~13 year old Thunderbolt display and a few month old Studio display for an M4 pro Mini. The difference between the Thunderbolt and studio display is similar to the difference between a high end dot matrix printer and a laser printer.
I picked up an AOC "portable" monitor today - it's a 1920x1080 monitor that is the perfect size to mount vertically next to my LG for stuff like my Messages app. This thing is awesome - it's just under 9" x 14", less than ½ inch thick. It's mountable on my monitor arm, and uses a single USB-C cable for power and video feed.
