Two on top of each other. Fastest to switch focus between since you don't need to turn your head and it needs less space.
>>
Depends on your use case.

Horrible in practice but good try

2, it's like having 2 4:3 monitors side by side with no seam. and everyone knows 4:3 is the kings aspect ratio.

8 if the monitor in the middle is 43 inches and the wings are portrait 27 inch

this
how is this not listed? the fuck?
this one is the most comfy for browsing as well because you only need a hand on the mouse which lets you lounge back and rotate slightly
impossible with the 2nd monitor on the right
I actually have a 3rd monitor above the 2nd one which I only use for work

1: 32" 6k
>>
>>109659525
4 is the ultimate choice, or 5 with one in portrait
>>109659567
yeah if you only consooom content on the side screen, for anything else portrait mode is better
>>
I'm rocking 5. Works well.
8 seems kinda dumb. Why have two vertical monitors? Should just be one.
>>
>>109659612

maybe even 27 but nothing more

1 & 9.

1 being a 32", 4k 240hz monitor
9 being a macbook pro

picking anything else = ur wrong (and gay)
>>
1x 55" 4k tv as your main monitor.
Real nice, lots of room for windows and you can lean back to have a real nice gooning sesh.
>>
it depends
>>
>>109659728
9 is gay though. And bad for posture.

1 with 1080p, you literally don't need more

1 with 32" 4K. Used to have side monitors, but I'm too le ADHD to actually look at them.

Would like to up the Ks more if I wasn't broke, non-HiDPI is trash.

portrait is literally only better for text.

5 but the middle is a 22" CRT and the sides are 19" CRTs aligned by the center of each screen, the actual screen not the monitor as a whole

Lol @ all the poors here justifying their one monitor.

A lot of brown indians ITT. Can't you subhumans just go diving for copper in the Ganges? Surely you can save up enough Rupees to more than one 24" used monitor?

1, 2 or secret, but the additional monitor on the right, not on the left
>>
>>109659869
this is what optimal looks like, had it for over a decade, even for video editing.
not having to scroll through tracks > larger timeline.

2 4:3 monitors next to one another and a VR headset for when you want to move somewhere else.
>>109659605
But you're not splitting it into two virtual monitors, you're using it as one monitor.
>>
I'm less interested in monitor setups and more interested in what peoples desktops look like 99% of the time.
Often i find that people just waste screen space by getting a second monitor and fullscreening apps like spotify so they can... Idk? See how many seconds into a song that is currently playing?
>>
>>109659525
none of those. two ultrawides stacked horizontally (so like 2x #2)
>>
This is mine and yes, they are duplicated not extended so that I can see no matter which space I am in

Close, but I suspect most people have their PC on their right, which position themselves on the left half of the desk. At least that's how it is for me, so my set up looks like this

The majority of people are right eye dominate. Top right quadrant on monitors is prime real estate.

Personally though, i can't do two monitors. The amount of eye movement is too much, webpages, apps, DE's etc, they're all wasteful on space. Adding in extra monitors compounds that issue.

Currently rocking a single 2560x1440p 32 inch monitor that is often split in two views. Shrinks webpages/apps, into what you'll see on 1 vertical monitor. But isn't tiny like on a 4k monitor. 4k into 4 quadrants would just preserve the 16:9/10 aspect ratio on the 4 pages/apps, again, wasting space.
