I'm on the faculty at Boston University in the computer science department, where I teach software engineering, intro courses, and application architecture and development. Also a bit of a Deadhead.
Great overview of the important specs, and I really like that you've added real-life examples of what to expect in terms of windows and lines of code at the various resolutions.
I take the 'more is better' approach, and my office setup uses three identical HP 27er 1920x1080 IPS 27" monitors side by side. They have tiny bezels and very good brightness and contrast, and can be found for under $200. My workflow is such that I use all three in a pretty consistent way, whether I'm coding or writing. I have a smaller 22" to my right that I've plugged a Amazon Fire Stick into to stream CSPAN or market news on mute.
I really don't think you can have too many monitors! The office machine is a Hackintosh and drives its three displays flawlessly. It makes working a joy rather than a chore.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
