This thread is shit.
Dual monitors master race
no
>>53926116
I have 4. I'm pretty comfy.
I wish they were all the same size though.
How do you not know what a meme is?
>>53926116
no
its never a meme desu senpai
Could someone say why it's good? Can't you just alt tab or use split windows?
>>53926127
Shit tier speakers
>>53926283
More space to have more windows, it's hard to explain the usage, just something you have to experience.

I have a 40 inch 4k monitor. My old 24 inch 1080p sits unused. Would there be any benefit to hooking it up to my PC also?
>>53926312
>needing to spend more than $20 on speakers to watch YouTube and play games.
>>53926116
Bitch I have 3
>>53926283
twice the screen space...
>>53926350
I have 3 monitors and I'm thinking about buying a 4th to get even more screen space.
>>53926368
I might as well hook this old ass gateway monitor up in my setup and say I have two+ monitors as well even if it is mix-matched.
>>53926116
more workspace > less workspace.
This setup is really nice for reading and working with text.
not mine obviously
>>53926344
>not having at least one landline.
What ya gonna do when the power goes out for a week ya dummy.
Why not use a polarized display?
Like two monitors in one.
>>53926443
>polarized display
is that what i think it is?
>>53926116
Depends on if you're employed. I have two at work and two at home. Now I wish I had three.
>>53926405
>I might as well hook this old ass gateway monitor up in my setup and say I have two+ monitors
You WILL have 2+ monitors if you do that you stupid nigger.
I like mine. I love the space it gives me

be very wary of any "productivity enhancing" meme. no matter how ineffective, you will still get a metric shit ton of people who swear by it because people love to FEEL like they're being more productive.
some memes to watch out for:
- exclusively mouseless text editors (barring reg ex based ones)
- tiling window managers (barring text based interfaces ie. terminal/editor multiplexers
- multiple monitors
none of these things will do anything for productivity vs. a properly used alternative (in fact most make you less productive), but they make people feel special and PRODUCTIVE so shit eaters love em
>>53926692
oh I forgot, another ripe meme, modal editors
>>53926368

My dad, who works as the head of inpatient care, does this with 2 monitors, and has gotten most of the staff to do this as well.
Everyone loves it considering they're spending most of their days reading reports and making spreadsheets.
>>53926441
>What ya gonna do when the power goes out for a week ya dummy.
Charge my cell phone somewhere. Wouldn't a wireless landline phone be useless without power for a week?
>>53926116
Three monitors or GTFO. Unless you have them positioned where ones a main and one isn't, nobody wants bezel right in the middle.
>>53926116
obviously not
Especially if one is portrait
>>53926586
I was saying the guy has mix-matched setup.
>>53926636
>tfw fell for the ultrawide meme
Feels pretty good, actually. Can't see myself ever going back to 16:9 or 16:10. I do still find myself wanting a second monitor, though only so I can keep something up while I have a game open in fullscreen. Like a video or some info if I ever need it. Other than that it's pretty much perfect.
>>53927225
Yeah but having a mix matched setup doesn't mean that it all of a sudden isn't two+ monitors.
2 isnt enough
hell i wish my gtx470 could support a 4k monitor because 3 isnt even doing it anymore for me
I have a 1920x1080 + a 1650x1050 one and it's not nearly enough space.
>>53926116
It's hipster.
>>53927338
Clearly right on that. No one negating you.

I don't like multi-monitor setups. I like to focus on one thing at a time. The only place I can see it being useful is for comparing data on different documents, but when people show setups like
>>53927446
I'm almost certain they're not actually getting anything productive out of it.
>>53928626
>Those mismatched colors
color matching monitors is a nightmare
It's not something you really need but it's one of those things that once you get used to you never want to go back, like +120hz monitors.
>>53928660
Exactly. Which is why dual monitors are going the way of the Dodo Bird as Ultrawides become more popular.

No
>>53926127
Yes
>>53926116
Depends on what you're doing.
I have a dual monitor setup, but I don't always keep both monitors on.
It's useful to have both when you are doing work taht requires docummentation on one side and various program on the other, it's distracting when you have to focus on a single task or you're enjoying a good movie.
>>53927282
This is my setup now. Old 1080p monitor for Netflix or w/e and my UW for gaymes and shitposts.
minimum of 6 monitors for meme
>>53931673
The real meme are the 3 keyboards here.
>>53927446

Landmine phone are powered by the line itself, they don't require additional power
>>53926368
step it up sendpie
dual monitors are significantly better for doing work. Doesn't even matter what kind of work, if it's on a computer it'll probably benefit from multi monitor.
No real difference for just shitposting and being casual
My setup is better
>>53932342
What is this feeling?
Dual monitors are great. They increase productivity significantly at work (for me at least) and is super convenient to have at home.
>>53928644
Same here. I have an hdtv I use for YouTube, shows and movies, and a monitor I use for web browsing, photo editing and occasional vidya. I thought about getting a second screen, but it wasn't worth it. 2560x1440 is enough for me.
>>53932678
Pity
>>53932087
OH MY GOD!
That looks disgusting. Worst setup in this thread so far
>>53926116
I only really learned to appreciate dual monitors when I started programming.
>>53931750
Regardless, when my power goes out for an entire week, it will probably be the apocalypse. I don't live in a shitty third world country where it would considered acceptable for my power to be out for that long.
>>53926283
imagine you have 2 sheets of paper with some data on them or whatever
you can either put one sheet on top of the other each time you need to look at it, or you can put them next to each other
I much prefer one huge screen.
>>53926636
Ultrawides by themselves are not a meme (dat fov). They are when compared to multi monitor setups though. I find dual monitors easier to setup several programs on, especially if said programs work in fullscreen.
I seriously find it hard to use a computer without dual monitors unless I'm running a WM.
Right now I'm running a quad screen setup, in the center is a 32" quad HD screen, left and right vertical 24" full HD screens and on top of the main screen there's a 32" full HD screen.
It's nice to have such a large workspace availability.
