Three 24" monitors or one huge monitor for programming?
"programming"
>>1077410192x 27" is industry standard
>>1077410193 32:9 49 inch curved monitors side by side (all vertical)
I ask because I'm having trouble choosing between 3x Dell P2425 on an 3-monitor Ergotron arm and the single huge monitor from the OP pic.
A single 24" UHD monitor in 16:10 would be the ideal.
Width is shit for coding. What you actually want is height. One of those tall monitors as your secondary.
>>107741019One huge one that has feature where you can splice it into three ones with separate resolutions/screens.
At my job our setup is two 27" monitors + our company 14" MBPI think it's a good setup but I effectively only use the two monitors and two monitors is plenty anyway
That monitor looks like dogshit. You should get a 40"+ 16:9 4k screen instead.I'd buy a 6k or 8k screen if they fucking made them in real sizes (65 and 86" respectively), but right now the best option is just a basic 4k monitor. Height is way more important than width for every application, 21:9 and 32:9 are completely retarded.
People got conned into believing more and larger screens are good for you. But the reality is smaller and better screens is where it's at. Smartphones are a great example of ultra high resolution small screens kicking ass
>>107741126Is a hardware feature needed for that? I thought that this is done in software with xrandr --setmonitor
one 32" 1440p works fine for me.
>>107741019Idk for work three monitors work better for me than one single ultrawide.>>107741075Check out chink arms on aliexpress
why do you need 3 monitors for programming?
>>107741323>center: code, compiler output, terminals>left: documentation>right: task list, bug tracker, music player
>>107741346You don't need "right".
>>1077413231 & 2 for all files or 2 seperate proj if you merge or whatever. 3rd for Teams/Teamviewer/Youtube.2 is absolute min, doing anything frontend without a dedicated screen for the builder or its tools is simply cruel. 3 is luxury but I wouldnt want to miss it. Comes in clutch often enough.
>>1077410194 huge monitors.
One 24" at 1024x768. You don't need more.
>>107741055A macbook is an industry standard
>>107741464That's true, but I prefer it. It's nice to have a "misc" monitor in addition to my code and browser monitors.
>>107741019>three 24" monitorswhy the fuck would you want such tiny little monitors? the sub <30" monitor maymay needs to die.3 30" or one fuck huge monitor but for a fuck huge monitor you need like 8k to not look like shit.
>>107741627>that bezel right in center FOVlollmao even
>>107742518>the sub <30" monitor maymay needs to die.fuck off stop acting like your opinion is the only that matters foe everyone, cunt>>107732929 > I regret getting a 27" monitor, the thing is so fucking big it's like I'm sitting in front of a tv. maybe my desk is just not deep enough. I didnt consider at all what a change going to 15.6 to 27 inch would be, I just bought the recommended budget 1440p monitor. considering buying something smaller and pawning this one off. there's a 24.5" 1440p aoc monitor I might just get that. I just want a cozy set up like pic rel but at higher resolutions
>>107741019I use one 32" 4k monitor now. I used to use dual monitors but it's a bit of a pain in practice, one big monitor is simpler, 32" or more gives you good height for code editors
>>107742529Just go 1 fewer monitor and problem solved.
>>1077410195x27"
>>107741019>programming on an ultra widescreenNo, don't be a fucking idiot.Sourcecode and documentation are narrow and tall.I've tried to program on an ultra widescreen because that's what my employer had, it sucked.Then I programmed at home on a much bigger and higher resolution 16:9 monitor and it was much better because I could actually see more than 50 lines of code at a time.A big 16:10 or 4:3 monitor would be best, but they don't get very big.
>>107741627>>107742529kek, yeah he didn't think that through
I've been programming for over a decade, have used triple monitors in the past, and now I just use my 13" laptop monitorcopy paper and a pen is great for working out algorithms by hand when working through tougher problems
>>107743092Don't laugh at it. It's mental illness. Some people can't deal with odd numbers. Number of characters in this post is odd.
>>107743145Meant even! Fuck!
>>107743019Why not get an ultrawide screen and divide it into 3 virtual screens?
>>107741019is there a /g/ approved monitor guide?
