I guess I’m chaotic neutral. I’ve never had enough money to buy two of the same monitor. All of my stuff is stuff I got either for free from school or for extremely cheap.
A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.
Unfortunately I got it at a thrift shop and there are no stickers. Googling for “pulley lamp” shows me one that looks very similar: “Carbon Loft Tirith Industrial Farmhouse Table Lamp with Pulley System”
Used to be a chaotic neutral, but realised that a full screen video doesn’t work well with a display in portrait orientation (and even if I have a laptop below, it’s too small). Neutral good right now with two 27"s; might add a 34" later on.
I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it’s just so convenient.
4k is clutch, I have this, tiled windows, and universal zoom enabled so I can zoom on one thing and the 4k means it’s perfectly legible, the zoom out for the full view
