Well?

B

because won't be using both monitors 100% of the time, so the main monitor should be facing straight to you

B because I have a laptop plugged into a display, which I'm definitely going to favor over the little ass one.

Initially thought A but then looked at keyboard placement... Definitely B

>>59003092
A if you like staring into the empty space between your two monitors, B if you actually need to see what's on the monitors.

B. I can't have the bezels of two monitors as my main focus point(aka my neck won't hurt if I look here.
>>59003243

>>>/g/desktop

>>59003243
but windows has multiple work spaces too

the point is you can have a full screen program open on one and have something else to look at/watch at the same time. like if you're using a CAD or modelling program on one screen, you need the full screen to see everything, but you might want reference material/texture libraries/something to watch in the background on a secondary monitor. You can do that by switching back and forth between work spaces but it's a lot easier to just have both visible simultaneously, especially if you're copying something from one screen to another (like drawing from reference or something).

>>59003687
That's not a six, you know that right?

I have the two following monitors:

-ViewSonic vx2268wm (22''/16:10/1680x1050/120HZ/TN/Heavy as a faggot)
-LG 25um55 (25"/21:9/2560x1080/IPS/Pretty light)

I use this setup. Think I could do this with one of those VESA desk mounts? I'm thinking of buying that shit. I know the former monitor is shite, but I paid 300€ ages ago for it and I'm not throwing it out the window, plus I can't sell it because it looks like trash on the outside.

>>59003092
B

Because fuck bezels in the middle. And my secondary monitor isn't as nice compared to my primary.

1 giant 43" 4K screen

>>59004573
How is it? I was about to order it around the end of 2016, but decided not to when I read there were some problems with the current alternatives (the dell and the philips). I have actually used the dell a little bit and found it to work very well, but it's not extensive testing also haven't tried changing any settings.

>>59003092
B

>>59003092

I have both in front of me. The second one is like one meter above the first one, I use it to watch stuff as I pace around the room or to watch stuff from my bed. Also one time I pushed my sofa as back as I could and played orgy porn in both monitors simultaneously while I touched myself with lotion. It was great.

>>59003786
Only recently implemented, while it was available on Linux years before w10.

B
Because my main screen is good for games but shit to read on because its a shit screen
Right monitor is a 4:3 1920x1440 one, great for readin

If you have a TN even b is only 50% shit.

The problem with vertical monitors is that you need to buy expensive monitors to do it with, otherwise the viewing angle issues make it unpleasant. I could not care less about the color quality on my shitposting monitor, so TN would otherwise be fine.

Wut.

16:9 is 4 × the horizontal ratio and 3 × the vertical ratio of 4:3
4×4=16
3×3=9

>>59006281
>>59006353
>not knowing it's the same thing
16:9 divided by 3 is 4:3

>>59003092
well you don't need a second monitor if you have 40" 4k, but B is what I used to do - you rarely use both monitors for tasks of equal weight, so your primary focus should be more ergonomic, with ansillary stuff like documentation, chats, browsers off to the side.

fellow i3 user so i'll reply to your -| setup.

looks great. I'm jelly.

sometimes you need to be viewing many windows at about the same time repeatedly. those windows have their own hot keys that would require you to move your fingers on the keyboard to a new position each time you wanted to switch workspaces.

sometimes you don't want to have your hand on the keyboard at all times.

A is for wankfest gamers, B is for productivity...or work on one and 4chin on the other.

OH well in that case I tip my hat to you sir clearly your [insert favored OS] had this before it was mainstream.

Visual Studio is the best IDE tbqh

You should have a dual monitor setup with one vertical because
>more vertical space for your IDE
>better length for irc/4chan/discord
>writing/reading long documents, PDFs for example
>best of both worlds, and better productivity capabilities
>moving your mouse across the length of two 16:9 monitors is obnoxious

5x4 + 16x9 mustard race

>>59003092
A is for assholes who want form over function. It looks nicer than B, but if you sit down and actually use a setup like A you will be constantly turning your head towards what you're focusing on. It's awful.
B is for people who want to use a dual monitor setup effectively and comfortably.

>>59017018
>1280x1024
Might have been mustard race if you got a larger workspace, but you don't. The only 5:4 resolution that ever existed is tiny and shitty.
Even a 22" 1680x1050 monitor offers more space to work with.

>>59018236
what a load of horseshit

Yeah I just tried it and it seemed pretty cool until I found out that extended display doesn't work on windows 8.1 or 10. Doesn't work on Linux as far as I can tell either.
What a fucking waste.

How the fuck does infinite workspaces help when you need to monitor real time information? Stop posting in threads about productivity when you're a NEET who only post on /g/ and watch anime
