This is completely a preferential thing. Looking in office where everyone is provided extra monitors if they ever want it.
It ranges from single large screen, to four screens... to as many screens as the table can fit (more!)
Personally on the web development side for frontend - I find having additional screens to do the browsersync render of the page im working on in the various major resolution, especially the mobile resolutions (abit zoomed out to fit it all) across additional screens a huge help. Especially at times there seems to be never enough (uggh that damn X*Y resolution where the layout bugs out)
For API work, i do notice the tendency to keep everything towards 1 screen. With a secondary screen for communication.
If you are unsure, you probably may not need a "good" secondary screen yet - and it is understandably a big purchase to buy a good one - instead, go find a cheap second hand one (or even a free one) and use it for secondary task (like slack) where colour accuracy is not as important. And see if it helps. If it does, then consider the upgrade.

Thanks for this. I do have a crappy one. I like some of the ideas of having a 2nd one though
