      You can probably find a shitty monitor for cheap off Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. I bought a shitty VA monitor for $20 like ten years ago and it’s still part of my setup

    Currently just one 27" 1440p 180Hz IPS, eventually I hope to add an OLED as my primary display and put the current one off to the side in portrait

      Do you stand up for the second one? Or maybe you have an extendable neck?

          Do you wish your setup was different? Because this seems like an ergonomic nightmare to me.

              Ah I see. Would you mind sharing how many m² your floor plan is? I’m just curious.

                  It’s… It’s one room? You live in a place with one room of 5–6 m²?

    32" with 27" on the side.

    Barely using the 2nd monitor.

    Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).

    I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.

    Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.

    Went back to a single monitor: 32" 1440p at home, 24" 1080p at work. The 32" is big enough to have two windows side-by-side, so I rarely miss having two screens.

      Yeah I find moving my neck to the side difficult. But I find two windows not enough. Might need a bigger single monitor.

        the monitors are on independent monitor arms (I usually have them together like a big ultra wide), and the OLED is connected on a TV stand next to the desk. I use the OLED from the couch, but I can see it from the desk, too.

          I use the OLED from the couch

          That makes sense - at first I pictured it as the primary monitor and the issue with that is usually the PPI of TVs can really struggle up close with text and such, but being able to throw content over to it and sit back on the couch seems like a SOLID strat.

            yeah it’s great, all the single monitor things that are mentioned are true, it’s a workflow. But when I work from home I’m usually on a couple more screens (a macbook and an iPad) so it’s helpful to have the flexibility

    When I’m working it’s laptop on the left connected to a 34" UW as my main display and a 32" on the right, both curved. For personal stuff it’s the same minus the laptop. I’m thinking about switching back to my old setup which was 32" main with a 24" in portrait on each side. Not that useful for personal use, but for work I could use even more…

    In the livingroom it’s a 65" TV…

        Gotta have that third monitor to see your desktop background at all times. ✨👌

        I’m just kidding

          Haha! I don’t always have the 3rd going for personal use. But I do use the 3rd on the right and centre monitors for work. And while I’m working I have the left monitor on for PC because I’ll have MY PC on for youtube and playing music and shit.

    1 x 27", 1440p, OLED, 240 Hz gaming monitor. It’s all I need because I have a proper window manager (i3wm).

    2 Asus 27" 1440p monitors center and right. 1 Dell 4k ultrasharp on the left and my laptop display underneath. My own PC connects to the two Asus; my work laptop connects to the Dell and center Asus and depending on if it is work time or play time, I swap the input on the center monitor. Input director provides mouse and keyboard access across both machines and works really really well. I do use all 4 monitors throughout the day; the personal machine isn’t tied into work but with input director the clipboard is shared across for copying and posting information found on searches etc. I work remotely.

      I love that this is where we’re at - that a single handheld computer can do it all. We’re in the middle of a move and I packed up my entertainment center, short of the TV and Chromecast - so a few weeks ago I used my mobile dock to play my Steamdeck on the TV and it was excellent. Love the versatility of that thing - just wish I had the OLED version, but guess I can hold out for the sequel for now.
