just call me the BBEG
My god…
jesus, and i thought my dual laptop setup was crazy
I don’t know which one I am:
I use Vert Horiz Vert. Like the letter H.
Come at me bros.
I have to know what you’re doing with this if it’s not, like, watching security footage. I can see a number of uses but all of them(that I can think of) are productivity based and are the kind of thing where you never really spend long periods of time on any one screen.
I see a lot of folks using that setup where the upper monitor is playing video, like Netflix or YouTube as background entertainment while doing other stuff on the bottom two, mostly coding/work type stuff.
That makes sense. I’m tall so my main monitor sits high enough up that my laptop fits underneath which is the same vibe but inverted.
This is my work-from-home setup.
2 is my laptop opened all the way and sitting in a vertical stand, so the screen is above and a little behind the other monitors, and the laptop camera is top center. I put Teams up there, so I can notice if I’m being messaged.
1 and 3 are on a dual arm stand. They are where I do my actual work. All kinds of stuff.
Chaotic neutral. Vertical monitor is best code review monitor.
And then there’s this hilarious thing from Swordfish:
I unironically love that thing from Swordfish even if deep down I know it is dumb.
The real chaotic evil:
How?? Lol
I don’t know, I think that sort of insanity transcends alignment.
What does mine count as?
Tie fighter gang.
This might be my ideal setup.
Chaotic bad
Chaotic neutral is, unironically, the best for a lot of work related tasks. It takes up less space on a desk and the vertical monitor just makes a lot of sense for reading Teams/Slack/whatever, answer emails, reading documents, etc… I actually picked it up from a friend who uses a vertical curved monitor and he said it was great for coding related work. Don’t skimp on the resolution, though, ‘cause you’ll probably want 1440p to make sure the words are clear. 4k is fine but probably overkill and needlessly expensive.
When I worked from home I had my personal 34” curved screen in the middle of my desk for AutoCAD and a vertical monitor from work fit perfectly between the main monitor and the edge of the desk. T’was brilliant. And I’m tall so my main screen is high enough up that my laptop fits underneath and I can watch shows and stuff
Verti-hori for lyyyfe.
I’m lawful neutral, except the monitor is portrait
Based
Don’t @ me, there’s no going back
Tiling WM turns the 21:9 into 2 or 3 panes perfect for reading
I hope that SpaceX capsule brings you home safely.
What does one super ultra-wide the size of 3 count as?
I’d say more lawful good than neutral.
You say that until you see how poorly the ui fits and you have to run everything windowed if you want to multi task
I’ve wondered about that. Messing around with window sizes seems mildly annoying. Also, what if you have something that wants to be full screen like a game?
Or game + guide, or game + discord? I won’t go back to alt-tabbing…
Windows 11 helps a lot, having the start menu in the center is crucial and you can quickly snap into place with the things at the top, if you really want to you can cut it into three sections and use it as three separate monitors but that voids the entire point of one big display, the experience is like nothing else though at its best I would honestly say it can be as good as the best VR, at its worst well it can be as bad as the worst VR.
My old Dell laptop got a dark display corner and a few times of usage later it went completely and permanently dark. So I used an external screen only until I got my new laptop.
Lawful chaotic?
All of the screens are working now, this was an old laptop that couldn’t handle that many outputs. I’ve got a webcam and a small mirror in the hole between the top screens so I can see if anyone entered the room behind me.
This is a beautiful setup
I couldn’t fit a second monitor on my desk if it weren’t for chaotic neutral orientation.
I used to be closer to CE with my 3-screen, phone on boom-arm ass setup. Now have reverted to CG since I was getting a bit too excited.
Neutral or chaotic good. The screens are close in size. I don’t think they’re identical though, so probably chaotic.
