forget a 3rd monitor, you need 1 giant curved one.

[-] First@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

Suuuucks for development at least, it's too small to divide into 3 zones, and if you divide by 2 you will just end up with a kink in your neck from always looking to the side. I'd rather have a single 27" with infinite virtual desktops I can shuffle around, than a 49" (my 49" has actually been collecting dust in storage for a couple of years now).

[-] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 9 points 1 year ago

or three 27" monitors so that the middle one is centered. it's the coolest shit ever imo

I bought a 49” super ultrawide to replace my dual monitor setup and I found while 32:9 gaming I still wanted to watch fullscreen videos so I added back my 27”. Might add back my other 27” so I can do fullscreen discord/other stuff. Lemme tell you, SUW absolutely ruins a person.

I finally joined the club and got a 34” curved monitor this month. Pretty good so far. It has also cleared up space on my desk instead several monitors taking up most of it. I still use my laptop as an extra screen to the side though.

[-] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I hate curved monitors, can’t stand the distorted image. Fortunately there are a few non-curved ultrawides on the market.

[-] Lodespawn@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I went curved and now the flat monitors at work are annoying because the far edges are too far away ='(

[-] Nfntordr@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I already feel less lonely just thinking about it.

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Me having a third monitor: No.

He has four, the laptop is just partially closed.

[-] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Your monitors just doesn't has enough hrz.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Don't make me downvote you

[-] provomeister@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Knowing you have N monitors, the perfect amount is N+1

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

idk. How about a 4th one too?

[-] shectabeni@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Having the standard three and a top center is perfect way to run a dual personal/work PC setup in my experience.

[-] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 7 points 1 year ago

Anything but talking to other people

[-] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I use my third monitor explicitly for talking to other people, specifically email, teams, and sms.

If anyone is running multi-monitor on Windows, I highly recommend trying Actual Window Manager.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Well of course, how else are you going to enjoy 3rd monitor content?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Given that her other suggestion is pickleball, I'm going to guess that the old adage of "if a headline is a question, the answer is usually just no" holds up..

[-] YodaDaCoda@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Have three monitors. Can confirm.

Considering a fourth.

[-] b3nsn0w@pricefield.org 2 points 1 year ago

go for it! i have four (three 27" 1440p monitors on the main group and one 22" 1080p to the side for diagnostics ~~and for wallpaper engine because i like my wallpapers too much and otherwise i'd just keep a monitor empty all the time~~) but i'm considering four more. like four small 1080p monitors mounted above the three main ones for docs, discord, whatever

[-] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

I got a 3rd monitor so it will be nice and symmetrical

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

As a coder, I do feel lonely with only 2 monitors.

[-] mrgreyeyes@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Portrait oriented monitor will warm your heart from the inside.

In total, I, a chronically single man, have 6 monitors and 2 TVs. I am very much in this picture and I don’t like it.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Come on lads, we all know what the third monitor is for

[-] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

It's for angling with it's back more towards the door in case the Mrs walks in. It buys a few more seconds of safety.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

One for game, one for Discord/Browser, one for stream Labs when recording/temp monitoring.

Can't imagine what else you'd need a full monitor for ⁠(⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)

[-] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Porn, my friend. Porn.

You need one for the programming IDE, one for stackexchange/ChatGPT, and one for Youtube/social media/porn. I thought that's the standard configuration.

[-] SomeBoyo@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

But what about the fourth monitor?

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

How is “male” loneliness different from loneliness…?

[-] WindInTrees@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Men are lonely for different reasons then women
