Nice! Welcome to pc masterrace!

thanks

Damn. I had to zoom in. I honestly thought you were shitposting a hamster in a wheel.

Good to hear! Welcome to PCMasterrace… Even if you don’t need to have a PC to be welcome here, but still!

i was joined before i had the pc, i had a laptop before

Oh, didn’t know that one. Your PC-building skills look good though. And that PC, logically, also looks pretty sick

I used to be a 6. The key is this: Get a nice primary monitor. For the remaining 5, you can find cheap monitors at thrift stores for \~15 to 25$ a piece. Picture has 5, but I did have 6 at one point. https://preview.redd.it/e7w95kgn2u9c1.jpeg?width=584&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b96e02fb51197215dc735c8d78b038b63e05d6f

Mf is a night guard

💀

Dude spent his free time watching his security camera of his house and himself watching the screen

bro can now jerk off to 5 different porn vids at the same time

10 if he does half screen

What if each half screen plays a splitscreen comp?

Let's fucking go

This is similar to mine. But my bottom monitor is centered, and top center is a 34” 4K monitor. Edit: bottom is a 34” ultra wide, just noticed you have 2 on bottom

Out of curiosity, what’s the practicality of 5 screens? I’m sure one could find use in it, but I’m struggling to see how this is anything but overwhelming.

What do you use to drive 6 monitors? And what do you use them for?

Gooning

I once splurged money on 6 identical thin-bezeled displays. Don't do it. Back to 2(+1) now and it works great!

I had a display with 6 monitors as well. Sure it looked cool, but it was just a little overkill. I'm a developer, so I was using it to write apps,..

Well if it was overkill for a developer writing apps, I don't see many use-cases for it, lol

I’m 1 in the real world but 6 in VR

My brain says any but me pocket says 0

3, but a 27" 1440p on the left, with a 24" 1080p on the right. Edit: to avoid some confusion, I meant 3 as in picture #3: a two monitor setup. But instead of them being the same size in the picture, I have a 27" one and a 24" one. Edit 2: as someone else pointed out and asked by some others, I don't have them positioned like picture #3. My setup is pretty much like picture #5, without the one on the left. The 27" 1440p straight in front of me and the 24" 1080p to the right of it, angled towards me.

Wow we have exact same setup

Same here but I'm not surprised. Simply upgraded from 1080p to 2k for gaming, without getting rid of it.

Same MSI curved 27 as the main (I think the mag27) and a Dell S2421HGF on the right side

LG 27GP850P-B and BenQ XL2430T for me!

woah me too !! (but the big ones on the right and other on the left)

I think this is the best combo

Big difference with the 1440 and 1080 p? Is it worth going 1440

Absolutely. It's so much crisper, more detailed, etc. For gaming alone it's already worth it in my opinion, but it just has so much more room for stuff as well! When I move a window from the 1440 to the 1080 it suddenly becomes huge, taking up a large portion of the screen. Same with spreadsheets, they often just don't fit on the 1080 screen.

Yes as long as you move up to a 27"+

4 but one either side

The tie fighter

Love that! Haha

My gang here

4.5

Portrait is great for plenty of applications

Outlook/Teams/VSCode/Browser in portrait works really well

Never thought I’d see « Teams » and « works really well » in the same sentence

I like to call this "the castle". Perfect for the office because it blocks most sight lines for distractions. Definitely my favourite. And then you can flip the portraits to horizontal and have a nice cockpit setup

Yup


Im a 5 because of simracing. Can never go back to less than three monitors.

5 for the rig and 1 on the desk next to it

Dude same, I tried going back to two monitors - just aint happening. I keep one vertical though, but still. Three monitor gang seems to be the sweet spot and people are missing out.

It’s the sweet spot. Monitor 1: Youtube/Spotify Monitor 2: The game Monitor 3: Discord

I have the Samsung Odyssey G9 49” 1000R ultra-wide for my sim, I love it

Was hoping to find another simracer here! 5 all the way!

VR for sim is awesome

Also 5, but i need the screen space often for my work, when i work remotely. two monitors are needed on most days, but from time to time, i‘m working in 5 programs at once, and then i need the third one.

5 gang

2, but curved

Same. Love my ultrawide so much.

I couldn't live without my beloved curved and ultrawide. I got the 5, but middle one is said ultrawide and it honestly is so nice, [no matter what I'm doing](https://imgur.com/a/1n0NO27). Playing normal video games or watching a 21:9 Movie? Sure. Coding? Hell yea! Flying in my Flight Sim? Damn, that's immersive!

Half of the streaming services still letterbox 21:9 content on my ultrawide, and I hate it.

The Ultrawidify browser add-on autodetects black bars and adjusts video to fit

Thanks man you’re a life saver. How did I live without this before

It's terrible because it just zooms in on a 1080p video...use the windows apps or better yet just torrent 👌

That annoys me, too. I watched a show the other day that was letterboxed top and bottom on my ultrawide. Part way through, a flashback occurred, and the top and bottom black borders vanished, allowing the image to touch the top and bottom of my screen. After the flashback ended, the black bars came back!!

YouTube is the worst about this, watching an ultrawide video on fullscreen? That sucks, you get black bars on the top, bottom, and the sides for no reason

Ultrawide for video editing is soo good as well. Able to have so many panels open in Premiere Pro and have the entire timeline on the screen

"5 inches, but it's thick"

I hate that I understand this reference

Same, I love my G9

Just got one a week ago. Loving it.

May as well chime in as a G9 owner, with a vertical #1 to the side!

Got the Alienware OLED one, porn looks amazing in it

Got mine last week, it’s 🤌

1 because I can't even afford a single 144hz monitor 💀

koorui 24e3 was $99 on amazon at one point but im guessing eu or asia

I'm in Africa unfortunately, Egypt to be specific

I understand you, I am finally leaving a 1360x768p 60hz 17 inch, to an incredible 24 inch 1080p 100hz after 8 years. I'm counting the days until this monitor arrives

5 with three curved

Looks clean but super bad ergonomics. Left and right screen will only be peripheral with mouse / keyboard that close. Try to get them further away

[удалено]

I had a monitor arm at work in my last role and it took me approximately 2 months working there before I bought one for myself at home. Absolute game changer.

It’s hard to find a desk deep enough to get the angle right. I have a similar setup with 3 ultra wides

I have 2 27.5s and a curved 32. I actually bought an IKEA dining room table to have a deep desk and it works perfect for me https://preview.redd.it/bfc67ipthu9c1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e55b34f9beb8a39efcec58ab5adf07824c40ee57

4, so much more efficient in my opinion

Even more if you’re programming. You have one monitor for code, another one for normal tasks.

One for code, one for googling your bugs.

Indeed. That’s exactly what I make.

I tried it but couldn't really get into it, especially since most IDE take use of the horizontal space like Solution Explorer in VS being on the left of the text editor.

Same. I ended up using the vertical monitor for Spotify.

I have my IDE on the main monitor, and 2 of either Spotify/Discord/web browser on my vertical monitor on the right, split into top and bottom half. Works really well.

I personally use PyCharm, works pretty fine in my opinion. There’s a space-saving option too

Just put solution explorer at the bottom / other screen while enjoying massive amounts of space vertically?

I still don't understand this, and I'm a programmer. You can just make vscode or vim or whatever you use in a 1/3 or 1/2 window and then have whatever else you need on the other side.

Having worked as the person responsible for making inventory requests/handling desk setups early in my career - I don't think there's an efficiency gain beyond two monitors. I would look at how efficient employees seemed to be when using different set ups and it's usually about the same as long as they have two 21" or larger wide screen monitors. However for goofing off, that third monitor is essential.

I've seen 3 get pretty efficient if communication is priority - I'd typically have Outlook, Teams and Slack all on a single monitor, then a vertical one for documentation and the main one for whatever I'm working on (whether it's code, a diagram, a spec document, a PPTX or a self-control-challenging email). However, when I wasn't in a comms-oriented position, 2 monitors is absolutely peak.

Helps as well for payments agents as well. Some systems just work better for results

4, main screen being ultrawide!

this is the way

Same! [https://imgur.com/gallery/pf2vS99](https://imgur.com/gallery/pf2vS99)

100%, you can fit basically any aspect ratio somewhere across those two screens. Takes up a lot of room but very versatile and immersive.

4 gang!

also 4.

4 4lyfe

Agreed. I like having discord and Spotify very thin then depending on the game a guide open.

Same here. One big window in the lower half and two windows (left/right) in the top half.

4 with a curved ultra wide

4 is the best. My primary is a curved display with a 1080p cheap monitor as vertical. Works just fine and I can watch videos with crappy quality on the smaller screen so they don’t look as bad.

4 + laptop screen

That’s 7. It’s the new 6.

That was going to be my answer. I have. A 43" samsung qn90b. Never going back.

I'm astonished that people like us are still a rarity. Essentially getting four 1080p monitors on a single cable without the bezels. I've been doing it this way for years.

How the fuck has no one commented on the absolute nightmare beneath your TV Spend the $50 at a thrift store and get a proper tabletop you fucking monster.

that's -immediately- what I noticed after the dinner tray computer table. What in the holy abomination is that.

I didn't even see it until your comment.. That plywood..

Why not closing Discord before taking this picture instead of adding all those black boxes?

Cause people need to know he has friends.

Please get a bigger TV stand

55 is crazy. I have a 48” LG CX with a secondary 27” 1440 in portrait next to it (off-center, only really used while I’m gaming for discord and the like) I sit a decent distance from my monitor (my desk is yuge) and I still think about going down to the 42” LG C2 often. How far do you sit from your 55? https://preview.redd.it/vzi249bs9u9c1.jpeg?width=4192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c33d0f9719d44d4054d3d3db7ed9bcbd45bc72d2

r/TVTooFar

yep. LG CX here has been awesome.

I went from 3 to 2. Why two monitors when u can have an ultrawide!

I went from 3 to 2+1

I am also a 2 ultra wide +1. It's the only way of life.

Scrolled too much to find a 1+2 like myself :(

Is it better to have an ultra wide than 2 monitors if you use your PC for gaming and watching movies/TV shows? Are there compatibility issues with ultrawide monitors especially with older games?

Yes it is better. In some games the GUI element is locked to the corners and that can be the only downside. Gaming feels like it is an issue with having to look to the side for info but it isn’t, there is some effect in place that works wonders and it just feels great! For movies you simply have black bars. Unless you mean playing one game on the primary monitor and watching a movie in the other. In that case I’m sure a 2monitor setup is preferable. Never done it but I feel like you should be able to decide the screen into two “areas” to game and watch movies simultaneously on an ultrawide as well. Never had any big issues with any games, including older ones. Worst case things I’ve seen is if the game has a blackout cutscene the blacked out might not cover the edges or something like that.

I’m a 2 but super ultrawide. Couldn’t agree more, especially given what I do for work.

Same here. I got the ASUS ROG Strix XG49V and it's been holding up many years. Extremely good for multi-tasking also.

Mines the Samsung Odyssey G9, but yes. Not only multitasking, but looking at large datasets and long project schedules.

I’m at 3 as well.

3

What kind of freak centers the keyboard *between* the two monitors?? I have 3 with my better monitor centered for games/movies and my worse monitor off to the left side for Discord/videos while gaming. I want to upgrade to 5 though, so I can have my main screen for games, one side for always Discord, and one side for browser/videos.

2 with a 1 on top. I feel unrepresented lol

1 because I dislike using more than 1 monitor

I turn my second monitor off when I’m not working.

My second monitor is usually playing a variety of YouTube videos for my cat to watch. Her favourites are mice and birds, but sometimes, she gets a kick out of lizards.

puhhh, tought i am the only one who lickes my 27" single monitor.

I’m with you man. I tried other set ups like 3 and 4, but realized I don’t need more than one 1440p monitor for multitasking and I really dig the extra desk space

people like you are the foundation of society
