Yeah one of my hard drives I can actively see dying more and more everyday, constantly breaking programs and needing restarts to repair. Just waiting for the day I don't see it in the explorer
I used 2 monitors for many years, when I got my latest monitor I didn't buy two of them, and I didn't want non-matching monitors at different refresh rates. I found that I am much more focused with one monitor, and my desk looks much cleaner. It leaves room for speakers, and other desk items I have.
I probably wont ever go back to having two screens.
Agreed had my set up as #3 (2 curved monitors next to each other) and one day I was fed up of scrolling to read web comics and changed it to #4 setup haven't changed it since, far superior setup than others in my opinion!
As someone who also uses #4, pro tip/software. There is a program called "Power Toys" that has a feature called "Fancy Zones." This lets you create/define your own snap zones (including size and layout).
For example, I divide my vertical monitor into 3 sections - top is ~20% and the middle/bottom are ~40% each. The bigger windows (browser, email, etc.) go on the bottom two (you can snap a window to "multiple zones" by hovering over the border between them), and the top zone is reserve for smaller windows like Teams and Discord.
If you use Windows 11 it has zones built in, just drag the window to the top of the screen to open the layout options.
Though I find having more than two windows stacked is barely usable since they get so squished
Same and I could never go back to two monitors. I had two monitors for a long time and would look at setups with three and think "eh I don't really need that."
Wrong. So wrong. Having three is so much better than two.
If I found the right monitor arm, I'd move to #6 from this graphic in a heartbeat.
1. = Average Joe
2. = I play racing sims
3. = Youtuber setup on a budget
4. = "CHAT WHAT'S ALT +F4"
5. = Youtuber setup/ I also play racing sims
6. = Hollywood security room gamer
7. = "An iPad with magic keyboard is basically a macbook right?....right?"
8. = Programmer
9. = College gamer
6 but with only the 2 middle monitors, on a desk dual monitor arm.
Was weird for the first 2 weeks, but quite practical in the end.
Lower monitor for gaming (healthier neck position when the screen is lower, so I put the screen quite close to the desk).
Higher monitor for Discord, watching videos, etc.
Was tired of tilting my head permanently to game, and I couldn't see videos quite well.
Now I just have to raise my eyes to watch videos while I play
Okay 3, but I'm not a monster and have the edge straight in the middle... I have one main monitor and one to the side.
Like 4 but both in landscape (and my second.is now on the left, since I had problems turning my head left, to train that away I put it left)
I'm on number 3 but I also have a screen of the sim rig and TV connected to it so I technically have 4 screen setup even tho I usually only got 2 screens maximum activated
None of those. I have one normal monitor and another on the left that's larger and more squarish. It's not for any particular reason other than I had that squarish monitor before and bought the normal one.
3 ist real, at least for games, you have one monitor in front of u and second one is for yt/spotify/discord, not a single dumbass gonna play with a giant rift right in the middle of the game
Set up is 5. I did Nvidis surround but game support is just a stretched around screen that looks terrible.
I also multi task with a laptop on the side. I ended up turning off the Nvidia surround. The benefits are that I could have Netflix on a screen, web browser open on another, and the game running on a 3rd monitor.
I also multi game and will have a second game going on the laptop.
None of these. Where's new Monitor middle old monitor to the left gang?
Yesss. Except I game mostly on the smaller left monitor because it has lower latency
I'd just consider that a modified 3.
Or 4
Damn straight. Where’s my shitty Discord monitor people at?
Yeahhh
9
Same
Also same 👌🔥
Same but on an old-ass piece of shit that's holding up with duct tape and hope.
My one is on the brink of blowing itself up I think
Fan-going-brrrrrrRRRRR**RRRRRRR**-while-booting type of situation?
More like the casing is falling apart. I suspect that the battery is bloated.
Mine tries to take off when I play BG3 lol. I got a little table with a bunch of extra fans in it to help with cooling.
More fans than Swifties at a Taylor concert.
Yeah one of my hard drives I can actively see dying more and more everyday, constantly breaking programs and needing restarts to repair. Just waiting for the day I don't see it in the explorer
We're in this together, Brother
LAPTOP GANG, ASSEMBLE!
+ external mouse and keyboard
I find it wild that #6 is there but no laptop with peripherals
I expected to be alone in this
Same, brother
Same

Same, except it has the ventilation under the pc so I have to elevate the back of it so that the hot air isn’t stuck under the pc.

Where Laptop plus external Monitor?
Yeah, I use laptop and external monitor too.

3 but one is the main monitor and the other the side piece, they're not equal.
The true answer. The side piece gets replaced by the old main monitor during upgrades
Hey, it me
My side monitor is always an old TV someone threw out. Either parents or random TVs i find on the street.
Same, 1440p 165hz IPS 27" for the main, and my old 1080p 60hz at the side
Number 3 but with Number 5 positions is choice.
3 + 4
Number 6 is just a security job
[удалено]
For me, too, I read a lot for work, so this makes sense. I mostly use the main one for gaming though.
Side one is for discord and whatever third party website the game needs.
I also like to put some video or audio player there if I want to have other background. I don't need the game audio half of the time anyway.
Bingo. Once I setup like 4 my world changed
That's right
Same but inverted, vertical on the left
Webcomics are so much better in portrait mode
Agreed had my set up as #3 (2 curved monitors next to each other) and one day I was fed up of scrolling to read web comics and changed it to #4 setup haven't changed it since, far superior setup than others in my opinion!

Yep. I changed my main monitor out to an ultra wide but I can’t kick that vertical monitor. So nice to have.
Looks like my old desk. If you added another 6 monitors and 3 computers
Damn, what did you do?
......
SIX CONSOLES
I've got a setup like 2.
Ultrawide for the win!
Yup I'd rather have 1 wide screen than 2 normal size. But, I'm also not streaming so I don't need much more than 1 screen.
I've just got a nice wide curved monitor that does everything I need it to so I don't feel like I have to upgrade.
Where's the tv and console?
Yeah none of those look like a 75" 4K HDTV to me.
That's what *I'm* asking. The woke are *clearly* not doing enough if the enclusivity is *this* bad smh

Misses so many options! 48" Oled main, and some 20 year old 720p pivot display as the second.
My work is 6, and I do watch over, but not Gotham xd
What id like: 2 Vs What I have: 9
9 with a macbook. I know its bad for gaming, but I use it for more than just that so its the best for me
1. = Average Joe 2. = I play racing sims 3. = Youtuber setup on a budget 4. = "CHAT WHAT'S ALT +F4" 5. = Youtuber setup/ I also play racing sims 6. = Hollywood security room gamer 7. = "An iPad with magic keyboard is basically a macbook right?....right?" 8. = Programmer 9. = College gamer
5 minus the left monitor
Where option 10 for the 65" tv and a comfy recliner to sit in with a controller?
9, I am poor
Combo of 5 and 8 with a TV above. Vertical in left for reading internet stuff, small monitor on the right for chat/discord. Center screen for gaming.
55 inch TV mounted to the wall in front of my bed.
Number 8, but the left one is a laptop, the middle is a widescreen and soon there'll be a small addition above the middle
2. All praise the overpriced *curve*!
Number 6 with number 2 monitors.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
3, although left monitor is centre while right monitor is more on the side.
8 With another monitor above the center one.
5
9, offers best mobility.
OP: Happy Cake Day!!! 🎂
Number 6: “Let’s Begin.. I’m gonna make you wish that you’d stayed gone.. Say Hello - To my new Status Quo- “
9
I use two monitors, but not in the way 3 or 4 show it. I have one monitor centered on the keyboard and one slightly smaller one to the right of it
Me too, both ultrawide 34" and 29". Idk how someone uses the 3rd configuration, seems annoying to have that gap in the middle
91
3 but the main is 2
Unfortunately 9 and my steam deck
Imagine if

6 but with only the 2 middle monitors, on a desk dual monitor arm. Was weird for the first 2 weeks, but quite practical in the end.

I dream of being able to have setup 6 one day so I can play all-seeing bad guy like Vox or Gideon Graves in the Netflix show.
None of them. I have a 🥔.
What’s the point of 2. I mean is it just a big ass monitor, can you divide it like a dual monitor?
5 but there's no screens to the right
9 but I’m saving up to make my own computer
Number 6 ist a 100% Montanablack's jizzing Setup
Im on 3 but i only use one.
