Since then I’ve upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
Lets be real, 4 and 8 are “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers” 99% the time in practice.
I have a 27in main, a 21in on its immediate right, a 27in led TV on the left side of the room and an old CRT on the right side of the room. All cables go under the carpet.
Get bent, fucking casuals!
10 is eve online multibox … anything with 3 or more really
To me 7, 10, and 14 are the only ones that are totally unhinged.
Can someone explain to me how to connect so many monitors? Like I had two HDMI ports and I think thats pretty normal? How are people doing 3+ monitors?
You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you’re trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.
My laptop and a thunderbolt dock can do 4, a 4k panel, 2 qhd and a 1080p all at 30fps
Every Screen adds on bandwidth needs, the more pixes and faster refresh, the fewer screens you can handle.
You can get there with multiple gpus, or if you have lower demands, usb->html
Good grapics cards have 3, you’re not limited to one graphics card
You need a graphics card or smth to even have the ability to have >3 displays. Some Macbooks have a 2 screen limit, so if you want to use only external monitors you have to close the lid. PC graphics generally allow at least 3 screens. But thunderbolt usb is an option.
I have a tower pc with graphics card, dual booting windows and linux so in theory I can put 3 on here? Interesting
Linus Tech Tips did a video on having windows alongside macOS on the smae machine. They did it by having both as VMs on a barebones linux machines. Theoretically you could then dedicate each one of the operating systems to an OS, and run linux, windows, and mac side by side. My guess kn feasibility: very hard.
The only thing mental is putting up with all of these seams. If you’re not in a tactical environment that requires this – say for being able to set up and move on the fly – then just get a big ass monitor. They’re life changing.
my work setup: laptop screen - curved widescreen - vertical screen.
messengers on the left, calendar/mails/notes on the right, and roughly the screen estate of two 4:3 displays in the middle
I’m 13 but, I’m normal I swear
I am saving do create 11…
My GIS rig is different than any of those.
Vertical monitor on the left, ultrawide lifted a bit high on the right, and open laptop screen beneath the ultrawide.
Verticals for email, teams, etc. Big ultrawide is mostly for main GIS window and spreadsheets, and laptop screen is kinda general purpose.
I actually have a 4th monitor technically, but it’s a big TV on the wall of my office that’s usually turned off, but that I can use for presentations or screen-sharing when I’m meeting with people in my office.
GIS? Graphical, IT and what?

Digital Maps aka Fancy Databases
it’s how self-important shut-ins talk about their PC setup to make it sound important.
GIS as in geographic information systems?
Girls in socks
What would it be if I do a #2 in the style of #6 and #10
#6 with a center at 1920x1080 with the two outside monitors at 2560x1080
