Does using more screens really increase productivity? My boss is always baffled when I tell him I just get my work done on a laptop with one screen as he thinks two monitors are "necessary" for our work. Yet I'm a top performer so it's obviously not true.I think you can just get used to using one screen at develop your workflow that way by switching tabs/context as you need. I briefly had a two screen setup at home and found I rarely used the second monitor unless I forced myself. Thoughts?
>>107539082put it all on your desktop you fucking retard you can change the window you're looking at with someone called a "mouse click"you are a literal sub 80 IQ retard
>>107539082how else would you shitpost?
>>107539125I have no idea what you are talking about or how it's related to anything I said.
>>107539082I once briefly used five screens at a time... then four... then three for a long while... realized I rarely glanced at the third... then dropped down to two and finally, I've been using a single screen for years now. No change in productivity. One large, high resolution screen is much better for productivity IMHO.
It depends on what you are using them for. I am sitting in front of a six monitor setup (2x3), but the bottom center is my most powerful system, four of the others (the outer four) are connected to another, and the top center is connected to my phone (Samsung Dex). I have seperate keyboards/mice for each system, but all but the gaming system are used for static displays that refresh on schedule or youtube. So I really only "work" on one screen, the others are just for monitoring.
>>107539174I miss my second screen. It allowed me to RT into my mini PC while using my main PC without having to alt tab. And it also allowed me to watch movies in full screen while chatting in another window. I really should get an OLED or something just for movies/games.
Two is nice because you can have something on one screen that you’re referencing and something you’re working on the other without switching back and forth.I’m not really sure what you’d need more than 2 for unless your job includes monitoring a bunch of stuff.
1 is imo only good with something like a tiling WM, or some other way of changing workspaces efficiently.
>>107539082you usually don't need multiple monitors, just a capable window manager
yeah
>>107539594one screen =focus on the screen.
>>107539164So this is how a schizo patrols all boards
>>107539890More like how mossad used to.Now it's all AI chatbots because actual employees are too expensive. The jews are outjewing other jews.
>>107539082>I briefly had a two screen setup at home and found I rarely used the second monitor>brieflyYou didn't use it long enough to integrate it into your workflow.I didn't use my second monitor much either at first, but gradually started moving things over to it that I would otherwise flip between. Basically anything I wanted to monitor (chat program, status, ongoing processing, etc), or reference material/documentation, now lives on my second monitor.Now using a single screen feels confining. Obviously a single screen can still be productive, but having two opens up extra options.

2 is optimalGame+MovieCode+Documentation
>>107539082I’m dumber than my boss who uses just a small laptop for everything Usually I’m using just one screen, but sometimes I’ll very much like having stuff on my second screenVery rarely I want documentation on my iPad getting used as a third screen so I can just look and not have to click on stuff or command-tabI refuse to be shamed into using less screen real estate on the grounds that I’m a midwitI’m mid and if I can be high mid by not having to click on things, fine
I use one big 4k monitor at 1x scaling. It basically works like 4 1080p monitor. You can make shit taller like on vertical display if you won't. If you don't need tons of stuff you can just open one big window. Way comfier than several screens.
