How does anybody get any work done without a multi monitor setup?

lel, get yourself some decent resolution

After really dipping my toes into multi-monitor with a laptop and external display, I don't see how anyone who wants to be productive can do with a single display either.

>work
>being too dumb to get rich quick on the stock market
>being too much of a normalfag to get disability/autismbux
>wasting money on 3 monitors because you're too dumb to properly position your windows and/or alt-tab

I'm not a wageslave so my computer is purely for entertainment and my 32" 4K monitor is plenty large enough for everything.

What exactly you need multiple monitor for? Just set up Emacs and you wouldn't even need to run another program.

(???)

Multi-tasking actually decreases productivity.

Why the hell are you working there? I could care less about a pay raise (unless it was stupid huge), I wouldn't dare take my next coding job without learning the creature comforts of the office and what I'll be stuck with for environment.

Is it your job to manage productivity?

You don't need three fucking monitors if you can only look at them one at a time

Fucking this, holy shit.

Instead of multiple monitors why not connect a lap top to act as an extra monitor? No one would complain about two screens then because you would technically have one screen and a lap top.

Just grow a pair and bring your own monitor.

personally I think multi monitors are a meme

27 1440p 144hz is the sweetspot

and next year 4k 144hz will be the sweetspot

dual monitors are just annoying to work with

Also on windows you can use this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx

One pair of eyes.
One monitor.
One task in hand.

Why does no one have multiple TVs so they can "multi-watch".

I don't like multi monitors because it feels like someone is flashing a flashlight in the corner of my eyes.

I think it's up to personal choice because monitors now are relatively inexpensive and I don't think price is the deciding factor.

Just switch between apps. If you absolutely need multiple apps on screen at once just position them appropriately.

most people in the corporate world that have a laptop also have a docking station & extra external monitors. At least everywhere I've been.

My thoughts exactly.

Personally I think that 40" 2160p@60 is the sweet spot.

for those of you who run multi monitor setups, how much PC power do you really need to run everything effectively?

Ultra wide is best. Plenty of work space with no ugly bezels.

How's your mom's basement?

It sounds like you're a fucking idiot. You have not even mentioned what it is you do. The only people who need multiple monitors are people in finance and trading, they need multiple shit displayed in front of them at all times.

>>58347684
>ultrawide

I am tempted. Which one you recommend? I am looking for dell 3417 and LG 34uc88 but still cannot decide.

>>58344908
i've been thinking of going 1440p@144hz, but OTOH people who have tried ultra-wide monitors literally can not shut the fuck up about how lifechanging they are so now i'm conflicted

>I've told him I'd bring in my own monitor and he still says that could cause problems.

lol what a shit job

>>58340606
Explain

get a single 2560 x 1080 monitor and use it as a dual screen
