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.

11, and accurate. The only thing that stopped me was running out of display ports on my graphics card

#6 with a center at 1920x1080 with the two outside monitors at 2560x1080

Yeah #10 is how mine is set up. Except the center monitor is an extra wide curved monitor.

You mean which mental illness? Hard to tell. My guess is SAD.

[–] TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

my guess is bunny ears

I am close to #1, but I have a 16:10 not 16:9 monitor. My laptop lid is always closed. I am a 100% one monitor person.

I am considering an ultrawide at home, but I fear that I will get problems at work if I cannot have the same there. I am not sure, if the linear window manager I am using makes sense with an ultrawide. And third issue: My existing monitor is still good and and awesome features which seem to be rare on other except gaming monitors: auto brightness and presense sensor. At work I can live without these two things, because the desk space has alsways the same brightness.

16, but the top monitor is a 55" TV mounted to the wall for watching movies.

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

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

Pronounced jizz in case there's any doubt.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ha, I'm not on here. Wait, that's probably a bad thing.

How is #6 only GIS and not also normal for many gaming rigs?

10 is eve online multibox .. anything with 3 or more really

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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.

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.

I'm in a GIS-adjacent field and I'm delighted to see both my home (#9) and my office (#13) setups represented!

[–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

I am saving do create 11...

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

1080p left, QHD middle, ultra wide right.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Can't believe there isn't laptop with monitor above.
