    #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.

      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.

    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.

    11, and accurate. The only thing that stopped me was running out of display ports on my graphics card

    6 but they’re all different sizes. One I’ve had since 2016, one was $20 from goodwill, and the other I found on the side of the road.

      Multi-DPI setups are the awkwardest. I’ve got one too

        My Multi-DPI setup constantly brings joy to me :) i just upgraded to two of the same monitors because of it. (Now there is only the TV, that somehow always fucks something up :D)

    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

    I have an ultra wide and a vertical 1080p it’s amazing

    source
  • Ooops@feddit.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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…

    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 ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Probably because they don’t have a third category for gamers.

    I’m in a GIS-adjacent field and I’m delighted to see both my home (#9) and my work (#13) setups represented!

    Can’t believe there isn’t laptop with monitor above.

    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…

    9 is my setup but I don’t gis on my computer, it’s just my home office setup

    I did theatre shit and qlab on a vertical ultrawide is a dream. I never gave up that layout.

    16, but the top monitor is a 55" TV mounted to the wall for watching movies.

  • Denalduh@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Man… All those configurations and my monitor setup still isn’t shown. I have two landscape with the right landscape being my main monitor, then another two portrait off to the right for scrolling and chat.

    Working my way to 8, but I lack the monitor arms. So it’s three across and one-and-a-half above. In my defense, it’s three different computers.

    Using your laptop as an extra screen should be illegal. Its so ergonomically horrible

      I use separate peripherals and it works

        Yeah thats exactly the kind of setup that needs to be cracked down on.

    10 seems kinda rad ngl

    • bisby@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I had 6 (3x 27" 16:9 monitors), and then wound up with a 34" 21:9 ultra wide for my middle monitor. The side monitors stopped fitting on the triple monitor arm I had, but just barely. Enough that turning the monitors portrait made them fit again… so I’m pretty close to 10 right now.
