No, but more than one can work wonders for productivity if you are looking up documentation while coding, so you don't have to constantly alt-tab and forgetting where you were.

Other people seem to be able to be just as productive from a single monitor or laptop, and tabbing between things is very much just part of their workflow - I remember at one gig we bought a couple of displays for one dev and he never even bothered plugging them in.
(I don't think anyone really "needs" five monitors, though.)
