5 is so much office work, one portrait for reading, one landscape for everything else
Since then I’ve upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
Dragon theme -> hoarde of monitors. Checks out.
Super nice looking setup.
My KVM is the best piece of technology I’ve purchased. That’s an impressive KVM to run that setup.
Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.
- App
- App submenus and subwindows
- Redlines/markups/notes
- Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.
Though I’d say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.
Like it says, mental illness.
I don’t do modeling or anything, but don’t workspaces (virtual desktops) work better? Mostly to avoid moving your head so much around 4 screens. I would think so anyway but i dunno
I work with redlines and you need to have them open on another screen while you’re making edits unless you like torturing yourself.
You can print out redlines and look at pen and paper markups which works great but it has negatives like printing a set of 20 page 22x34 drawings can be costly to plot and annoying to go through sheet by sheet
Lets be real, 4 and 8 are “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers” 99% the time in practice.
<sploosh>
I have a 27in main, a 21in on its immediate right, a 27in led TV on the left side of the room and an old CRT on the right side of the room. All cables go under the carpet.
Get bent, fucking casuals!
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.
Edit: Actually i completely forgot, i have a small kvm at work too with a pi500 connected dual booting raspian and android. I use raspian to play classic dungeon keeper (with keeperfx mod) on my breaks, and android just to mess around and see what its capable of.
I have a 6 and an 11.
10 is eve online multibox … anything with 3 or more really
What’s gis? Cos apparently I’m one.
Geographic Information Systems aka digital mapping aka fancy databases
Wut….?
were gis’ers!
Now gith…
I, too, gis’ed in my pants at work.
Im so confused
If geography is a way to bridge the natural and social sciences, a GIS is basically a tool for combining unlike, often large scale datasets that are hard to compare otherwise. A GIS allows people to see where things occur in time and space and analyse those relationships.

Kinda like SQL but in polar coordinates
Just here to point out that Stephen Crowder is a shithead.
As a GIS tech, there’s one missing - the laptop 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. 13 btw lmao.
13 is: can’t afford wide screen, can get another small screen from stores
Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.
Which one is most common for finance?
8,11 16
10 with a giant central screen is fairly norm now too.
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.
tbf number 8 could be used for security too
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Gastro-intestinal system
Girls in socks
Look, I’m not here to GIS anything. That’s my pinball monitor.
I’m not even on the chart
Those characters in your desktop seem awfully gleeful at your future neck ache.
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.
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE 🚑🚑🚑
I ain’t moving this has been my setup for 2 years at this point
Lmg, the top one is for playing music off YouTube?
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.
