Title: How many monitors in your setup?
Post by: Kett on Sep 23, 2023, 10:27 PM
I'm wondering how many screens y'all got for your computing; I, myself, only have room for one monitor on my desk (I'd probably have space for more if I kept the tower on the ground instead of on the desk.) so I only use one monitor, two if I have my tablet plugged in, which most of the time is on my shelf.

If you have a multi-monitor setup I'd also love to know what you keep where, if you have one "main" monitor and leave the other for background things, like messaging apps, or if you juggle tasks between both monitors indiscriminately. Lemme in on your workflow.  :)

I only have one, but i wish i could have at least two, monitors are way expensive and it's annoyed me a lot that i can't multitask because of the single monitor i have beyond having multiple desktops or alt-tabbing a lot, it sucks, i should maybe spend birthday money on a monitor!

Two monitors are a huge productivity boost, yea! I've gotten used to it, but switching to just one monitor was kinda bad when I first started using my own computer (as opposed to the family pc)

I would still love to go back to the double-display setup, just not enough room is the problem...

I don't have the desk space for more than one. I would love to have two or three. It would be great for gamedev and stuff. I would probably have two horizontal and one vertical, for versatility.

I've seen a lot of instances of people using a vertical monitor for code! I guess it does fit more code in less space that way...
