If I am…

…gaming, I run the game on one monitor and something like a Wiki for said game on the other.

…doing music I have the DAW on the big screen and everything else on the other.

…working I have my focus point (CLI, IDE, SQL Dev, etc) on the small screen and all the noise (e-mail, chat, browsers, etc) on the big screen. Small screen is better for focus.

Single large 48” 4K gang here. It’s like 4x 24”+ 1080p monitors in a square with no bezels.

Do you use a monitor or a 4K TV?

ramble81 ,

4K TV. Found some on RTINGs that was good for a monitor for like $400. It’s not a gaming monitor and it’s 60Hz, but for teams, outlook, code, spreadsheets, etc it works great with static content.

I’m a video editor with two 27” monitors. One landscape the other portrait. I used to use both monitors for premiere but found moving the mouse around that much annoying so I condensed all my panels into one monitor and use the portrait one for notes and communication. I feel like I could go back to a single monitor system in the future but I like having two

Kidplayer_666 , to insanepeoplefacebook in I just learned that the Time Cube is no more.

Are y’all sure that site wasn’t made with AI?

Unless it was time traveling AI then yes. It was around like 25 years ago, hence being a classic.

ThrowawayPermanente ,

Ok but what if the AI was on a different corner of the earth that is simultaneous to our own but also perpetually night because of our unconfessed sins? It would make sense then.

You make a great point. Harmonic Cube states that the four days occur in one rotation. Four simultaneous days. 4 HORSEMEN HAVE 4 DAYS IN 1 ROTATION. Time Cube is Eternal.

Aedis ,

It’s entirely plausible that unbeknownst to us ai has developed within a harmonic cube congruency and thus what we assume to be 25 by years ago by our fake queer Greenwich time is actually 25 years in the future for ai following the harmonic influence of the 96 hour day cycle that everyone else is too stupid to notice. Within everything having 4 phases you should be skeptical of those who tell you that time travel isn’t possible for the 4 phases of time itself are forward, backward, up and down, anyone who tells you different is trying to coherce your mind straight into hell by saying the opposite, they are too stuck in their word world to realize that you have moved past that into the real-world.

dejected_warp_core OP ,

💯 Now that is how you Time Cube.

dejected_warp_core OP ,

Do not speak to me of the old websites, I was there when it was written.

Sadly, it’s legit and really just run-of-the-mill mental illness.

I also considered asking ChatGPT to generate something derivative; maybe it managed to crawl the actual text off of archive.org or something. But then I realized that it might hallucinate something actually convincing, and decided against it.

One monitor for moodboard, another for materials, tablet monitor for working.

Software dev here, and I’m pretty confident that 4 is the ideal number, as long as you have window snapping to split them in half:

Left (inputs): half current ticket, half whatever documentation you need

Main (work): IDE, half test code, half actual code

Right (outputs): half terminal, half web page (frontend) or postman (backend)

Bottom (comms): Smaller laptop screen dedicated to slack / email

Crankpork , to asklemmy in To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

Not a software developer, I just do QA on written documents, and being able to have 3-4 windows side by side is really nice. I usually have 1-2 tracking spreadsheets open on the left, and two documents side by side on the right. I use a laptop at work as well, so sometimes I’ll leave it’s screen on for email and Teams chat so neither interrupts my work.

Three 27" monitors. Right one is portrait, has Slack and music player split screen, left is email or reference material, center one is for doing the actual work.

I work in a customer facing role but also do graphic design, write books, make music, and occasionally code things.

Massive productivity boost. When I work from my laptop I feel like a grandma.

At my job I use 3 screens. Laptop screen is for Outlook and Teams, the middle screen is for the needed local main application and the right screen is for remote server connections. Having just 2 screens or even only 1 screen would lower my productivity.

At home I’m a single screen user, but its a 4K 28" screen and large enough to hold all my crap.

Today , to asklemmy in To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

Not a computer person; just a worker with an office. I keep my laptop vertical to the right with my email/calendar usually open. I use a monitor left of this - it’s big enough that I can comfortably have 2-3 windows on it - so i can have 4 things open at a time. When i have a zoom, meet, or WebEx, that takes one; second is whatever I’m supposed to report in that meeting; third and fourth are what I’m actually working on. My biggest problem is that the vertical laptop has the camera and in some video meeting apps I’m in portrait while everyone else is landscape.

ricecake , to asklemmy in To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

Two 4k 32 inch monitors and docked laptop screen.
One monitor directly in front which holds code, research or video call.
One monitor to the right mounted vertically and angled towards me that holds a terminal, notes/email/jira or reference documentation for whatever I’m doing on the middle screen.
Laptop is to the left of the main screen and has slack open.

I’m big on tilling window managers, so I tend to do a lot of flipping between workspaces rather than apps, in my mental model. I’ve gotta use a Mac for work which sucks for tilling, but I can mostly make it work.

Not an IC anymore but my workhorses for the better part of 13 years were 13” laptops. Nice and simple. I don’t get the multiple monitor thing honestly.

I do a lot of video editing. 3 monitors all the same size. Right is main edited output. Center is all my editing tools. Left is file management, chat, stock footage, etc.
