Don't get a second monitor I got one when I started taking valorant more seriously, and now I want a third. What's next. One on the wall? On the floor? In the shower? The roof? There's no going back for me. Send help. (Or a third monitor) - ThreadSky

The ultimate setup uses 55" 4k screen and 4 other monitors! Big screen for variable options including 4 1080 screens in one, other 4 on the sides for things like discord!

A second monitor is a life changer
Its like you have been walking on a single leg your entire life, seen with one eye instead of two, lived with one arm instead of both. All is better in pairs. Enjoy that monitor.

I got a second monitor a few years ago. Recently built a new house, No walls, no floors, no furniture. Just. Screens. Getting monitors in my eyelids soon so I can still see the gameplay when I blink.

It's a total trap. I finally hooked myself up with a 3rd monitor earlier this year but I still feel like I don't have enough space on my screens to see everything (but have no physical space for a 4th monitor).

joythedatanerd.bsky.social•129 days ago

I actually fixed this issue by upgrading the resolution of one of my monitors and reducing the zoom so I can fit a whole bunch of shit on screen at once.

I’m still looking for a third monitor but at least it doesn’t feel like a necessity anymore

annasas.dev•128 days ago

The issue with all tech related stuff. Having "just one is fine" is a myth. One monitor, not enough. One keyboard, not enough. One mouse, not enough...

xinnam.bsky.social•129 days ago

I went up to a max of 4 monitors before I decided that was too many. I've got 3 right now, with one of them vertical for discord and social feeds

theundeadmoo.bsky.social•129 days ago

I currently have four monitors....I am at a point where I am nailing them to the wall because I ran out of monitor mounts

tonycodes.bsky.social•129 days ago

Get one really large monitor that spans multiple rooms. Drag the windows with you as you go.

destroyanad.bsky.social•129 days ago

I had an old hotel tv as my second monitor for about 6 years. It honestly worked very well, and had the same res as my laptop. I still miss that thing; i just have my laptop sitting on a table in an RV

grahamcox82.bsky.social•129 days ago

Many years ago I saw someone with a ridiculous setup for either racing or flight sims.
I think it was 7 monitors. Including five in front, for straight ahead, up, down, left and right, and then two behind you for looking over each shoulders...

divergentnote.bsky.social•129 days ago

just get ten massive monitors and should solve everything tbh

eugenekaninchen.bsky.social•128 days ago

I have three monitors if you count my wacom and I assure you I get absolutely nothing done

Just a complete waste of time every time I boot my pooter

stroh.ink•129 days ago

DW people are usually happy with three. 👍

itsshaemus.com•129 days ago

Made it to 8 across both PCs. I Finally know peace.

j3s5.bsky.social•129 days ago

The moment you realize you need another monitor to put vertical so it's better for reading articles and note taking while having your main monitor for workflow.

the floor and ceiling are barren- that's free real-estate. Room for crops to flourish

Camera guard set up

sleepyspecs.bsky.social•128 days ago

I'm fine tho. I can't afford a second one!

jouto.bsky.social•129 days ago

Too late, plan to get a second monitor in the near future 🙃

krasmithedragon.bsky.social•128 days ago

I have 4 already and want more. Don’t do it, save yourself before it’s too late

chuckgofer.bsky.social•129 days ago

No seriously, one of mine died and i feel like I'm going through withdrawal

tritonthederg.bsky.social•128 days ago

I feel ya with my setup I'm just using a flat screen TV for one monitor and using a second curved screen gaming monitor as the second lmao.

aidanblack.bsky.social•129 days ago

Don’t even think about hooking up a 40” 4K TV. I can never use a laptop again.

nysnorose.bsky.social•128 days ago

It's too late!!!! I want a third!!

titaniumtogekiss.bsky.social•129 days ago

final form will be a code: lyoko like 4 monitor setup

foxturret.bsky.social•129 days ago

I solve this issue by having both an ultrawide LCD and a vintage office CRT from 2002.

kirbyglover.bsky.social•129 days ago

I lie to myself and say it increases my productivity, but I just want one monitor per application I've got going, and my wallet simply cannot accommodate that 🤣

hnat.bsky.social•128 days ago

how's your neck?

chionichti.bsky.social•129 days ago

Third on the wall does the magic. 😳

"Just one more monitor. Guys, I just need one more monitor, I promise. My productivity will be maxed with just one more monitor"

xenspidey.bsky.social•129 days ago

57" g9 neo kinda solved it for me I hate any other monitor setup now.

princesslinkin.femsky.com•129 days ago

honestly as someone who daily drove four monitors for awhile 3 is really where productivity caps out for most applications

xeneth.design•129 days ago

I'm up to three if you count the one that can be drawn on, and you really CAN'T go the other direction and get used to having less displays.

I see people "working" on single tiny laptop screens and have no idea how they do it; just alt+tabbing every few seconds?!

joythedatanerd.bsky.social•129 days ago

The ideal number of monitors is always n+1

scepidilionz.inkling.social•129 days ago

YOU GET ME

intohalves.bsky.social•129 days ago

We need those rooms where the walls, floor and celing are all made of screens. Just maximum screen real estate.

That'd be kinda nice though, just slap a movie or a yt vid on the celing and go to sleep.
I wonder if that'll take any more resources like gpu wise

scepidilionz.inkling.social•129 days ago

Oh it absolutely would. Im gonna need to get a DVI to HDMI adapter too bc my PC only has 2 HDMI ports. We'll see if it croaks LOL if I have to update my graphics card well- I get to start learning about that i guess

intohalves.bsky.social•129 days ago

Having another monitor usually doesnt mean any increase in gpu usage, just that you tend to keep more applications on screen. What gpu are you running

scepidilionz.inkling.social•129 days ago

Well the point of having the 3rd monitor would be to have more shit open LOL.
I have a NVIDIA RTX 3050

intohalves.bsky.social•129 days ago

a 3050? you'll be fine
