it’s how self-important shut-ins talk about their PC to make it sound important.

#7 is pretty common for radiologists

I have a CRT and a standard flat screen where am on this?
pyre@lemmy.world 4 months ago
poor
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I’ll have you know CRTs are obnoxiously pricey in my region.

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

I want to meet the man who uses 7, but 14 scares me.

I have 2 monitors + laptop and my setup isn’t even represented here (29" 16:9 and 34" 21:9)
poinck@lemmy.world 3 months ago
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.

#13 but the laptop’s in between monitors. Does that count as mental illness?
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sorry, yes…
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 months ago
100%
Atropos@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m none of these.
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.
dkppunk@piefed.social 4 months ago
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

Same
ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
I have a software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn’t fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.

- Need to observe stuff while gaming or coding or whatever.
bizzle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I have an ultra wide and a vertical 1080p it’s amazing
snoons@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
5 but mostly because I like looking at pretty jwst pictures when I die in a video game. Technically it’s for my music player and monitoring torrents…
Ooops@feddit.org 4 months ago
Half of those setups make zero practical sense and are only there because someone thought symmetry would look cool.
Either one secondary monitor that can be pivoted 90° or two, one being horizontal, the other vertical…
Rhaedas@fedia.io 4 months ago
Ha, I'm not on here. Wait, that's probably a bad thing.
How is #6 only GIS and not also normal for many gaming rigs?
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Probably because they don’t have a third category for gamers.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 3 months ago
13 at work 6 at home.
Although in both cases all screens are different sizes and i have a kvm set up at home which allows me to switch the two larger (but still differently sized) screens to show my raspberry pi desktop or my wifes laptop for when she works from home where she has a 13 setup.

10 is eve online multibox … anything with 3 or more really
scala@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
What would it be if I do a #2 in the style of #6 and #10
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 months ago
#6 with a center at 1920x1080 with the two outside monitors at 2560x1080

I remember doing this with the original DOOM. It took 3 networked PC’s running the game to do it, but it gave you so much view.
Candera@lemmy.world 4 months ago
What is wrong with #10?
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 3 months 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.

Nobody ever called me normal before 🥲
Soup@lemmy.world 4 months ago
#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).
recklessengagement@lemmy.world 4 months ago
11, and accurate. The only thing that stopped me was running out of display ports on my graphics card
Jayjader@jlai.lu 4 months ago
I daydream of #16
I’ve worked on a reverse #10 before (i.e. vertical monitor in the middle, surrounded by two landscape monitors)
Apparently Linux Torvalds works on dual 6k monitors
stelelor@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
I’m in a GIS-adjacent field and I’m delighted to see both my home (#9) and my work (#13) setups represented!
someguy3@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Can’t believe there isn’t laptop with monitor above.

MycelialMass@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Can someone explain to me how to connect so many monitors? Like I had two HDMI ports and I think thats pretty normal? How are people doing 3+ monitors?
spinning_disk_engineer@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you’re trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
USB video dongles.
rumba@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
My laptop and a thunderbolt dock can do 4, a 4k panel, 2 qhd and a 1080p all at 30fps
Every Screen adds on bandwidth needs, the more pixes and faster refresh, the fewer screens you can handle.
You can get there with multiple gpus, or if you have lower demands, usb->html
Good grapics cards have 3, you’re not limited to one graphics card
KmlSlmk64@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You need a graphics card or smth to even have the ability to have >3 displays. Some Macbooks have a 2 screen limit, so if you want to use only external monitors you have to close the lid. PC graphics generally allow at least 3 screens.
MycelialMass@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I have a tower pc with graphics card, dual booting windows and linux so in theory I can put 3 on here? Interesting
