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.
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
Also, train dispatchers, power grid managers etc. Infrastructure control of any sort. On second thought, maybe they also have an extra keyboard/console (#16).
Ah so all the control freaks and the “tell me more about you and by that I mean tell me more about why you love the MTA system map” kinda crowd, I see.
All monitors at the office I work at are in the #3 position, and everyone uses them like that. The first thing I do when I get there (there are no fixed desks, and I’m only there on Mondays) is move one screen to the left and one screen to the center. Then I use my laptop as a third screen, but pretty much only to display my todo list.
I also think it’s weird, but everyone here does it...
I'm none of these. I have two normal and one rotated 90 degrees for the odd legal sized document that gets scanned in. When I was doing a lot of data entry in one of my jobs, it helped.
The only thing mental is putting up with all of these seams. If you're not in a tactical environment that requires this -- say for being able to set up and move on the fly -- then just get a big ass monitor. They're life changing.
Yup. But both are more difficult to use in practice, and I’ve been on enough calls where the person shares their entire 40” ultra-wide, to encourage it. I run with three monitors, and replacing any of them is trivial. The biggest problem is the KVM, and that’s ~$200.
Vertical monitor on the left, ultrawide lifted a bit high on the right, and open laptop screen beneath the ultrawide.
Verticals for email, teams, etc. Big ultrawide is mostly for main GIS window and spreadsheets, and laptop screen is kinda general purpose.
I actually have a 4th monitor technically, but it's a big TV on the wall of my office that's usually turned off, but that I can use for presentations or screen-sharing when I'm meeting with people in my office.
Can someone explain to me how to connect so many monitors? Like I had two HDMI ports and I think thats pretty normal? How are people doing 3+ monitors?
You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you're trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.
You need a graphics card or smth to even have the ability to have >3 displays. Some Macbooks have a 2 screen limit, so if you want to use only external monitors you have to close the lid. PC graphics generally allow at least 3 screens.
But thunderbolt usb is an option.
Linus Tech Tips did a video on having windows alongside macOS on the smae machine.
They did it by having both as VMs on a barebones linux machines.
Theoretically you could then dedicate each one of the operating systems to an OS, and run linux, windows, and mac side by side.
My guess kn feasibility: very hard.
if you have two nicee wide monitors that's a pretty good way to do it, gives you the benefits of a 2x2 setup but without the bezel breaking up your code halfway through.
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.
My Multi-DPI setup constantly brings joy to me :) i just upgraded to two of the same monitors because of it. (Now there is only the TV, that somehow always fucks something up :D)
5 but mostly because I like looking at pretty jwst pictures when I die in a video game. Technically it's for my music player and monitoring torrents...
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 software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn't fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.
Man.. All those configurations and my monitor setup still isn't shown.
I have two landscape with the right landscape being my main monitor, then another two portrait off to the right for scrolling and chat.
I had 6 (3x 27" 16:9 monitors), and then wound up with a 34" 21:9 ultra wide for my middle monitor. The side monitors stopped fitting on the triple monitor arm I had, but just barely. Enough that turning the monitors portrait made them fit again... so I'm pretty close to 10 right now.
#3 is also dumb. Can’t do a single thing right in front of you, the thing is always off to one side or the other. Just commit to #5 if you want two monitors, or do what I’ve also done where my laptop fits underneath my main monitor(only applicable if you are tall enough to warrant such a high monitor placement).
Idk maybe its a personal preference difference but i like my eyes to be level with the middle of the monitor and i dont like to have to tilt my head up or down to see another screen.

I have a software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn't fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.

9 is my setup but I don't gis on my computer, it's just my home office setup

How come 6 is not mental?

I remember doing this with the original DOOM. It took 3 networked PC's running the game to do it, but it gave you so much view.

I only have 2 monitors, and when I play Minecraft I have the game stretched between the two in a wide angle about 30% to the right.

Man.. All those configurations and my monitor setup still isn't shown. I have two landscape with the right landscape being my main monitor, then another two portrait off to the right for scrolling and chat.

To me 7, 10, and 14 are the only ones that are totally unhinged.

10 seems kinda rad ngl
bisby@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d
I had 6 (3x 27" 16:9 monitors), and then wound up with a 34" 21:9 ultra wide for my middle monitor. The side monitors stopped fitting on the triple monitor arm I had, but just barely. Enough that turning the monitors portrait made them fit again... so I'm pretty close to 10 right now.
Jayjader@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 209d
I daydream of #16
I've worked on a reverse #10 before (i.e. vertical monitor in the middle, surrounded by two landscape monitors)
Apparently Linux Torvalds works on dual 6k monitors
psud@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 204d
5 is so much office work, one portrait for reading, one landscape for everything else
scala@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 208d
What would it be if I do a #2 in the style of #6 and #10

I did 4 for a while at a previous job where they'd downsized and had a shitload of 1080p screens spare. Now I'm 1 but its the same number of pixels.

What if mine's 13 except the right one is vertical? Where does that fit in
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 209d
Borderline mental Illness, it's the connected laptop that sets it off. I've used one portrait one landscape for coding before though.

Tahl_eN@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d
Working my way to 8, but I lack the monitor arms. So it's three across and one-and-a-half above. In my defense, it's three different computers.
MoonRaven@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 209d
1080p left, QHD middle, ultra wide right.
someguy3@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d
Can't believe there isn't laptop with monitor above.

The lowest tech multi-monitor setup

I did theatre shit and qlab on a vertical ultrawide is a dream. I never gave up that layout.
Soup@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d
#3 is also dumb. Can’t do a single thing right in front of you, the thing is always off to one side or the other. Just commit to #5 if you want two monitors, or do what I’ve also done where my laptop fits underneath my main monitor(only applicable if you are tall enough to warrant such a high monitor placement).

I'm kind 6. Two regular monitors and one large TV.
Fizz@lemmy.nz · -1 pts · 209d
Using your laptop as an extra screen should be illegal. Its so ergonomically horrible
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 209d
I use separate peripherals and it works
Fizz@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 209d
Yeah thats exactly the kind of setup that needs to be cracked down on.
SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 209d
Wait, how is it bad? My chin is roughly level with the bottom of the monitor so I don't need to look down that mich
Fizz@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 209d
Idk maybe its a personal preference difference but i like my eyes to be level with the middle of the monitor and i dont like to have to tilt my head up or down to see another screen.
