What’s wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.
My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.

Aren’t traders supposed to be mentally ill?

Also, train dispatchers, power grid managers etc. Infrastructure control of any sort.

I am close to #1, but I have a 16:10 not 16:9 monitor. My laptop lid is always closed. I am a 100% one monitor person.
I am considering an ultrawide at home, but I fear that I will get problems at work if I cannot have the same there. I am not sure, if the linear window manager I am using makes sense with an ultrawide. And third issue: My existing monitor is still good and and awesome features which seem to be rare on other except gaming monitors: auto brightness and presense sensor. At work I can live without these two things, because the desk space has alsways the same brightness.

The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.

What is wrong with #10?
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 44 minutes ago
Yeah #10 is how mine is set up. Except the center monitor is an extra wide curved monitor.

You mean which mental illness? Hard to tell. My guess is SAD.

I’m 5, because I’m writing and reading a lot. It makes no sense to have a horizontal screen for text.

#13 but the laptop’s in between monitors. Does that count as mental illness?

Sorry, yes…
Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
As a GIS tech, there’s one missing - the keyboard next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P
But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So… Yeah.

One of us. In my old job I ran two gaming rigs for processing on a KVM switch. GIS is all about the rig. Only need one or two screens lol.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I’m none of these. I have two normal and one rotated 90 degrees for the odd legal sized document that gets scanned in. When I was doing a lot of data entry in one of my jobs, it helped.

This is my mental illness, I change, rearrange, add, and substract screens constantly in my array. It’s mostly for leaving ambient video playing in the background at my house, kinda like a little zen garden. I dream of programming all the TVs at a club.
I got five computers in the array when this pic was taken. Three 2012 MacBook Pros, one on MacOS 10.15 Catalina, one on Windows 10, and one on Mint. Down low I have two gaming PCs, a 2014 build running Fedora and a 2017 build on Ubuntu.
You can’t see my face but I’m cheesing so hard, this was one of the more ridiculous arrangements I’ve set up. I will use between three and seven screens at once on a normal day, but eight was an accomplishment lol

My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.

Lmg, the top one is for playing music off YouTube?
NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.

Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.

When I was in college I worked a data entry job at an investment advisor firm. One of the financial planners had #8 as their setup.

One large center monitor, a smaller 1080p to the left and right, and above the center large one for a total of four.
Perfect for being a DM.

For work use I’m #13, except I remove the keyboard, put the laptop in front to use that keyboard, then center the monitors behind it.
For personal use, I’m #3

id argue that laptop + screen and mousekeyboard is normal. most normies that want a sit down sorta table station get that setup.

#3 is also dumb. Can’t do a single thing right in front of you, the thing is always off to one side or the other. Just commit to #5 if you want two monitors, or do what I’ve also done where my laptop fits underneath my main monitor(only applicable if you are tall enough to warrant such a high monitor placement).

I’ve seen a coder have exactly two vertical monitors.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
if you have two nicee wide monitors that’s a pretty good way to do it, gives you the benefits of a 2x2 setup but without the bezel breaking up your code halfway through.

They weren’t wide, 21-23" 1080p.
