Only folk with ADHD can handle a multi monitor setup

I had 4 at once. Demolished my neck and back after a while. Took some discipline and moving the fuck back from my screens so that my eyeballs do all the work.
>>
Maybe try sitting back a little instead of shoving your face into the monitor? You barely have to rotate your neck at all to view a second monitor if you are sitting at a proper distance.

Did you have 2 ultrawides next to each other, or some shit?
I usually don't have to turn my head more than a few degrees, and most of the time I just swivel my chair slightly.

>>58998519
Try glancing over instead of rotating your head, mongo.

That's the problem I think, I have dual 1440P monitor with high PPI count so I can't read shit if they're further than an arm's length away.

And UI scaling is a no-go because it also enlarges images, making them distorted and shit (I know some programs are scaling aware but Chrome and Firefox isn't).

actually landscape+portrait

Me and most of my colleagues have dual monitor setups and have no issues. Check your neck maybe?
>>
>>58998519
What's wromg with that?
I use a 16:9 main screen along with a 4:3 one that I normally use for Telegram Desktop.
It's comfy af

Got a 25" raised for my main for my Dev Environment and an ancient 1024×768 lowered to the left for the result/documentation.

Funnily enough I find it easier to look at the little one most of the time.

It just means that your neck muscles are getting some exercise.

Terry Davis wrote an entire operating system, compiler assembler, disassembler using only 640x480 with 16 colors.

>/g/ "needs" 3x 27" monitors to be "productive".

Linus Torvalds uses a single monitor.

>/g/ "needs" 3x 27" monitors to be "productive".

Jeff Dean, the most valuable Google engineer. He's like a God at Google and not even the CEO would go against him. He literally made Google what it is today and wrote/worked-on all of their most important software stacks. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now, notice something interesting:

He doesn't have two, three or four monitors and he doesn't have some gigantic TV screen that kills your focus and distracts him from everything important.

I have 2 monitors right now that are pretty different, so they have different viewing angles. One of them 21:9 IPS, and another one 16:10 TN. I put the 21:9 in front of me and the 16:10 monitor over to the right side. No problems. I'd honestly trade these two for a 4K monitor though, I like having more readable fonts.

Only folk with autism gets overwhelmed by a multi monitor setup

He does though, look at the monitor. That baby is worth more than a month of salary for most people on /g/.

Should have bought a single 32" 4k monitors, senpai.

>>58998747

he also doesnt have an IDE open, which is mostly the reason why people need a second monitor.

>>58998519
That's why you use one screen vertically.
