What is the most productive monitor set up development /g/
I just have a single 24" 1080p monitor and I'm plenty productive. Using i3 probably helps.
>>52533607
whichever you prefer
I'd say at least one vertical monitor in a multimonitor setup to read more code at once, or to split tiling windows vertically
>>52533607
>Accountant
>Shitty software
>Dozens of frames always open
>Cant make fonts smaller
>Occasionally need 15 things open at the same time
I wish i had 3 monitors...
>>52533662
You need one big 40" 8k monitor, in high dpi mode
too bad those don't exist yet
>>52533607
One 2/4K monitor is enough.
1- 2560x1080p Monitor works fine for me.
I'm currently running one 55" 4k@60Hz display.
It works pretty well with win10 window snapping
Got the Philips 4065uc. 4k 40" 60hz monitor with DP 1.2 support. Love it. I don't code though. I just use it for vidya and some lite productivity like photoshop or Sony vegas.
>>52533717
>40" 8k high dpi monitor
Well about that...
>All salesmen get new upper middle class cars
>Meanwhile the offices are still running on first gen intel i3 chips
>Still get the order from higher ups to cut the budget somewhere :^|
I guess we could do without heating...
>>52533774
>55"
you're using a tv aren't you
I think past 40 inches and it's just diminishing returns
things on the side and corners require craning your head, and you're looking at them from a steeper angle
>>52533607
I use a big centre monitor and then a thinner monitor about half the width, but same height to the left of it.
This allows me to have my primary work on the centre and all outputs (figure plots, consoles outputs etc.) and side stuff on the other minotor.
I've tried other setups, but other monitors are just a distraction.
I'm using dual 1440p setup now ( 2 x 27")
At first I felt like I was turning my head too much but I've gotten used to it and it's great for having a lot of windows open.
are curved monitors easily useable/readable for non game applications?
Two 25" 1440p
>music production
Works. I don't need anything bigger.
I use 4 screens + 1 Macbook for work and I still need more screen estate.
>>52533607
for me my own setup
>>52533894
Browsing is disgusting on these large curved monitors. It's really made for media and productivity that requires you to use programs that utilize all it's space
how much performance do you lose on your GPU if you run one or even two extra screens with a browser, skype, etc. on them while playing a game on the main montior?
>>52533950
practically nothing.
>>52533607
what about two stacked monitor?
>>52533915
what are you a day trader?
I guess you can always wait until VR becomes high enough resolution since it allows indefinite number of monitors
>>52533607
Two 27" 1440p
I use a single 20 inch 1600x1200 monitor most of the time.
I've used a 30 inch 2560x1600 monitor before, and I just found it overwhelmingly big.
>>52534031
I have a 30" 2560x1600 korean monitor, had to pay $150 more for 140 more vertical pixels
do day traders really need all this or do they just not know how to be efficient?
I mean what are they even looking for? flashes of color? changes in numbers in their periphery?
Can't they set up a scripted notification system?
>>52534253
each monitor seems like its set up for one specific stock
so you glance over them all every so ofter
>>52534253
These are just retarded day traders. I worked for a dark pool during the recession and currently work in IB and most people use 3 (basically everyone in the building does, though, including secretaries). Most I've seen is maybe 6.
>Can't they set up a scripted notification system?
That's what the entire thing is, really: dashboards. There's a lot going on, potentially, even when you try to distill things down to, well, dashboards.
>>52533804
You don't increase productivity with happiness. They do.
One big monitor is the best. The only reason multi-monitor took off on the desktop is because it was more cost effective in the 00s. Nowadays the price advantage is minimal.
I'm personally happy with a single 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 screen.
>>52533607
I have a big ass 40" 4k and a 1080p off to the side
starvr is already 5k, Oculus had to keep it low to make sure computers can run them
in 2 years monitors will be obsolete
>>52534433
1x2560x1440 isn't enough though
I have 3 19" 1600x1200 displays in 3x1. I tried 3x1 with them in portrait, and it was awful
>>52534462
>4k tiny piece of glass infront of my eye
no thanks. That's just dumb.
>>52534462
you need a insane amount of pixels to simulate >100ppi displays that are 5 inches from your face
>>52534468
If you make effective use of virtual desktops and you're quick with alt+tab, one 2560x1440 is plenty.
>>52534477
That is the minimum
at 16k per eye the pixels will be indistinguishable even at 180 degree fov
>>52534490
dude Idk what you do buy with my usual workload I need several documents open and an IDE awel as IDA and probably a hex editor
>>52534503
How dumb do you have to be to actually believe a tiny piece of glass infront of your eye is a replacement for an actual big monitor?
>>52533607
a 4:3 monitor
you wont distract yourself with widescreen content
>>52534503
>16k per eye
well you better build a time machine since we're not going to have any standards that'll support that much data transmission anytime soon. Maybe Displayport 3.0 or something. VR is still choppy at 60FPS, so good luck finding any GPUs that can push 90FPS+ at those resolutions.
>>52534560
You really are a special kind of idiot, I bet you keep it in 800 x 600 as well.
the human bean can't see beyond 480p
>>52534586
op asked for 'productive'
you dont need widescreen for word processing or programming
>>52534571
You don't need 16k to simulate 100 dpi creens, around 8k will do. And with foveated rendering coming in which lowers the resolution needed to be rendered by a factor of 4, you only need gpu's that can push 4k per eye
>>52533607
Single 4K screen
I have an A399U, you should buy an A409U
>>52534604
Again, you are an idiot. Do you still use 8bit colour, or did you move up to 16bit?
>>52534604
>you dont need widescreen for word processing or programming
>have two files open side by side and a debugger, 3 panels
uwot m8
>>52534505
I find I really only need two documents side-by-side at any given time. I can alt+tab faster than I can turn my head and focus on a second screen.
>>52534643
This whole topic is subjective. One thing might not work for another person.
just one 1366x768
>>52534595
>inb4 human eye cant see above 30fps meme
>>52534630
Are you trying to say that you need more than 256 colors to edit text files?
In what application is vertical real estate important when you can easily scroll with a scroll wheel?
You can horizontally scroll that easily so I'd prefer to have more horizontal space.
>>52536560
can't*
>>52533607
Ideally I would want the bottom left layout with three 27" 4k monitors.
pros:
>tons of work space
>great ppi
>vertical monitor is good for displaying reference material
>vertical monitor can be rotated for eyefinity gaymen
cons:
>3 27" monitors is a lot of screen
>requires a big desk
>requires a high end gpu just to drive them
>no gpu in existance can game on all three
>4k monitors are still expensive
None of the above
Just buy a 21:9 1440p monitor
got a 24 inch monitor and i feel i am turning my head to the left more and more and i can feel the strain in my neck. How do i fix this flaw?
>>52533607
I upgraded from a 20"/30"/20" 4960x1600 PLP setup to a single 49" 3840x2160 UHD IPS TV and have been incredibly happy with my decision.
Having a tiling WM or something like DisplayFusion in Windows makes this better in every way than my old setup.
49" is probably a little to big for most people in all honesty, but the 40"-43" options would be hard to find much fault with.
I will upgrade to a comparable size display if UHD@120Hz or 8k@60+Hz ever come to the form factor, but I'm not holding my breath.
not sure what the exact latency is, but it's low enough I can't really perceive any difference from my old HP LP3065.
I'd really like to do the 40" 4K thing, but then muh gaymes would suffer.
Also there's not one that fits my wants in a new monitor yet.
>>52533607
40" 4k is the only way
I've got pic related on an ergotron arm and its pretty much perfect. I've got 3x 24" 1440 screens at work and I like my home setup a lot more.
>>52537713
Why would games suffer? Everything looks great at 4k.
depends what kind of work you're doing really.
I've always just been a fan of a single large monitor
also whats with all these fags
>or maybe one person that shit posts often
with these 40" 4K TV as a monitor memes
>>52537759
>also whats with all these fags
>with these 40" 4K TV as a monitor memes
A 40"-50" UHD display is a straight upgrade from nearly any multi-monitor setup, and the only real >=40" monitor at the moment is the Philips, which has a few peculiarities that make it not for everyone.
So long as you get an HDMI 2.0 model and have a GPU that supports it, there's currently no advantage proper monitors have, especially considering price differences.
This may change when UHD@120Hz monitors start coming out, supposedly in Q4.
DisplayPort is effectively dead in the consumer electronic space, and DP 1.3 may never happen there whatsoever.
(FWIW, the 55" guy seems nuts to me too, but what do I know.)
>>52537745
>Everything looks great at 4k
Looks great, sure.
Runs like a slideshow though.
>>52537745
well if you don't know why you've never played a game
>>52537759
Windows' display scaling is fucked up, 40" 4k monitors are the only ones that display text and menus properly.
>>52533950
Think about it for 1 second.
3 windows open on 1 monitor.
Then the same 3 windows open, one on each monitor.
Both scenarios take the same amount of processing power but are all viewable on screen versus minimized and still running.
It seems your new here, welcome to /g/
>>52533607
I would get top right if I could afford it
Idk how you guys afford these lavish ass setups. I'm currently running a 2007 era dell monitor
My setup probably dosnt apply but
100 inch 1080p main screen at 6 feet And a 27 inch 1440p at 2.5 feet lower and to the right almost like PIP
>>52533969
This. 2 27" stacked monitors for that vertical and maybe another monitor on the side if you want.
The bottom for your gaming. The side for your guides/ web browsing while gaming. Top for your videos or music while gaming.
Use the stack for internet browsing and the side for a side by side display for when comparing or other things that need side by side.
>>52533937
>That internet speed
>>52533607
top right is new patrician choice, inheriting the crown from the now venerable 30" 2560x1600 monitor with optional side portrait displays.
40" 5k would be even nicer after DP1.3 arrives, and 40" 8k makes my dick diamonds just thinking about.
>>52533607
4k main monitor
two smaller 16:10s on the sides
I Run one 27" 2560x1440 and one 32" 4k both in landscape. I'm not at all productive, I'm on 4chan at work right now.
>>52533607
Sometimes I consider just a big ass 1080p.. I have two 23" 1080p, its nice, wish I had a bit more working space.
I'd learn towards 1440p dual over 4k large for gaming since its dual purpose pc. Waiting for cheaper prices and the next gen of gpu's.
>>52533607
I have the bottom left. Wouldn't change it for the world.
/gd/ here
1 horizontal / 1 vertical monitor is good so we can view publications at their native aspect ratios better.
Like on my vertical monitor I can view A4 pages at LifeSize.
>>52539965
When I got my 1080p monitors I had no idea what the mounting standard was I just assumed they all had some way to be mounted, now I know I'll get buttfucked reselling on ebay so I figure its not worth it until I make big upgrade. Sigh.
>>52539965
I'm at work and I just changed from all three horizontal to the bottom left orientation. I tried with both outside monitors portrait but it felt awkward. This layout (landscape-landscape-portrait) is super comfy.
>>52537962
By that """logic""" you could scale the shittiest integrated GPU to 1000 monitors.
>>52540053
Recommended monitor for portrait? With its own stand. Either for life size or a bit bigger, not sure what monitor size that would be..
>>52534503
>at 16k per eye the pixels will be indistinguishable even at 180 degree fov
I don't care how many pixels the damn thing has, I don't want to strap a fucking headset around my head with monitors that are inches away from my eyes.
>>52540077
I'm using whatever shitfest dell's that are connected to this pc. Two P2213s and a P2210 All three have a different color (and two are the same model) despite trying to calibrate them to eachother. They are 22" and just about right as far as height goes. They are mounted all on the same tri-monitor stand made by planar. The stand is great and works pretty well but the monitors are absolute shit - do not recommend.
>productive
I would say portrait on left, normal monitor in mid. portrait for ease of reading, normal for video or fullscreen. anything more is distraction bait, less could make you want more screen.
one monitor and a tablet for reading could work also imo.
>best
bottom right of OP but with wides not squares.
>>52533607
What about small 4k monitors like the t221? I use it and it seems good for workflow. I'd give it a 9/10 on that.
>>52540077
>>52540145
Although, with how I use them and the setup of the stand / desk, this works great since I use two and a half of the monitors just to have applications open that deserve constant peripheral glances and the remaining half monitor I actively shitpost or entertain myself on. The portrait monitor is too tall from how I sit to actively use for an extended period of time. I can forsee neck or back problems if I regularly used all of my monitors like this without somehow lowering them or getting a taller chair and desk.
>>52533607
>triple square monitor setup
>not having "costs $5000" in the con section
pretty comfy. Windows on the laptop left, hooked to the 1280x1024 display. Mac with 1920x1080 on the center with a 1280x1024 secondary monitor. The Mac's hooked to the Windows with a network cable and both have write access to each other. CRT for the lulz.
>>52537962
Because all background programs suddenly hog resources when restored, amirite?
Please leave /g/ and never come back.
>>52533738
>One 1080p/2160p monitor is enough
What?
My setup is one 23" 4k monitor and a 21" 1080p monitor side by side. Works pretty well for me, though 4k isn't quite worth the money just yet.
I use two 1080p monitors side by side, come at me
>>52537908
Just get SLI 980TIs, I haven't found anything I can't max at 4k yet. The witcher 3 is probably the worst and that runs around 45fps average.
>>52537917
All I do with this is play games. Having a 40" screen on your desk is super immersive. Also really nice for racing sims.

What do you suggest then? Buy 4 4k monitors?
>>52543902
>Why would I need that?
>>52544156
5/5 argument.
Keyboard and mouse pad is all you need. You can eat cheetos and drink mountain dew elsewhere.
>>52544112
i'm not the initial anon, anon. i was just lurking and my authism alert rang.
about the suggestion. it doesn't really matter. uniformity and integrity is everything.
i run a single monitor setup because i don't need to monitor things on different screens, it's a waste of power in my opinion.
what actually is a great way to monitor loads of panels would be a VR environment

I use one "main" monitor and secondary one for communicators/sometimes browser when i'm programming. It's very comfortable.
