Anyone else here vertical monitor masterrace?

I use a vertical monitor next to a horizontal one.

>>55703802
I do that at work. It's counterproductive for anything else - websites are fucked up, movies, games etc..

>>55703838
its better for web browsing and reading

>>55703986
It's not better for web because webdev twats make websites with retarded layouts. Why are you reading books on the screen? It's like listening to music on a bluetooth speaker or cycling on a minitricycle or shaving with a spoon

>>55704038
well ive had my pivot monitor for over a year now and literally only pivot it back to horizontal when im watching a film.

You've got to be fucking retarded to use a monitor that way.

The only time I ever rotate my monitor vertically is when I am fapping and the picture I am fapping to happens to be a portrait sized image.

high pixel density ("retina") 24 inch monitors in portrait orientation make it really, really pleasing to read fuckloads of text, edit code, etc...

if you get a chance, i really recommend it.

i don't game much (if at all), i have a TV if i want to watch movies & tv, and lately i haven't been fapping much (so i don't care if the one or two times a week i watch a porno i have a windowed box)

what size are those monitors? they look different sizes

>>55707363
both 24". the wide angle lens might be throwing everything out of proportion (the one on the left is a P2415Q and the other is a UP2414Q if you want to check specs - technically 24" and 23.8" if you want to be highly highly specific)

27" 1440p horizontal & 24" 1080p vertical is what I'm aiming for.

>It's not better for web
you're not supposed to browse websites other than 4chan

>>55706423
nice setup anon, but you're doing it wrong
It should be one vertical and one horizontal

see, that isn't the way I would do it - therefore you are wrong

this might help illustrate it by centering the picture on the vertical line, causing both monitors to look all skewed equally

sometimes i do that (if i'm editing lots of photos from a trip, for instance), but if i want to watch a video casually or something i have my laptop. if you're LaTeXing it's really amazing having the editor in one window, building, and getting the PDF to open and highlight the active line on the other window. that would be doable in a horizontal monitor layout (left side/right side), but you wouldn't get the whole page (or it'd have to be zoomed out). you could also get something like this with a 30+ inch monitor, but none (at the moment) offer the pixel density (/sharpness) that these offer.

I guess if we see 8k panels in 30" displays then i can abandon this setup... but i'm in no hurry.

How are you running two monitors off (what looks like) 1 mini-DP/Thunderbolt connection?

And what is the device under the iPad? A Surface?

>>55706423
doesn't high pixel density screw up text size and make everything too small to read comfortably?

nah it's shit. it's a poorfag set up if you can only afford 1080p because 1080 lines is not enough for computing.

>>55703802
It's called a phone.

>>55707555
Only if the application or OS you're using is shit.

>>55707540
no joke though that image triggers me

see, it looks perfect with that web browser on there; thing is when I look at the one on the right and see that it is only occupied by itunes I immediately think "wasted space"

the laptop's just plugged into power and ethernet. the ethernet gives me gigabit and better latency than wifi (but i have wifi here too obviously). the 4k monitors are driven by a hackintosh to give me 4k at 60Hz without causing shit for my laptop.

the whole setup works as an extended desktop from my laptop through teleport, which lets me mouse/keyboard back and forth from my laptop to my desktop (and vice versa) over local network. it shares clipboards and i can apparently drag and drop files (although i've never needed to do this so i couldn't tell you how well that works).

most everything else is handled by ssh'ing in or something.

and yeah microsoft gave me a surface 3 and keyboard last summer as a gift (all the MS(R) interns got one)

that might be an issue with really buggy, awful operating systems, but OS X knows how to handle display scaling nicely. but to be fair, they've been pushing it as a headline feature for more than 4 years now. one would expect them to have a better handle on it than other operating systems.

if you imagine a 24" 1920x1080 monitor, everything (text, cursor, etc...) looks the same size in "space". the only difference is that vector/scalable assets look significantly sharper here (that's mostly text, but as it turns out text is a big part of my life).

i'm looking around for an example, but i can't find the image and i'm not interested enough to go find the picture i took. maybe someone has the 4chan version.

>4k monitors are driven by a hackintosh
That explains all the drives as well. Pretty neat setup.

Those are (multiple) Finder windows.

would 16:10 be slightly preferable for portrait mode over 16:9?

>>55707630
i don't really know what you're talking about, but itunes isn't open. the right hand is blurred out, but it's a couple of finder windows behind that blur.

occasionally i navigate my file system outside of the shell. right now sublime text is open on that window (but screenshotting it would be even less helpful since i'd want to blur out basically everything consequential).

>>55703802
How do you Windows vertical monitor users deal with the lack of text subpixel aliasing?
Do you turn of text anti-aliasing?

i like it a lot. also, forgot to include the teleport screenshot.

the only real limitation for teleport is that each computer is a "block", so if i wanted to put one monitor on the left and one on the right (i don't know why, but just as an example), i wouldn't be able to. the pair of monitors have their own arrangement and they can't just have a void of space in the middle between them.

fortunately, that isn't something i want to explore anyway, but it's a minor thing to keep in mind if i want to move things around and try a really different layout.

Yes.

It's really quite helpful. I don't have to turn my head to look at something on one edge of the monitor to the other. It's really helpful in applications like Maya for having material viewer and other windows open. Also for messaging apps, twitter feeds, etc.
