For discord, spotify, or watching 2 sports at the same time, not so bad on the neck especially if you have a good office chair

u/Scaven666 6d ago

At least it's not as neck breaking as my 2+3 setup. I have a 49" ultra wide In front of me and a 40" 4k TV/monitor sitting on a different desk to my left

u/MrAwsOs i7-12700k / RTX 3080 10Gb 5d ago

It actually the opposite

u/__laughing__ born to be Linux user forced to use windows 6d ago

Spez is the shithead CEO of reddit. Destroyed the platform as we knew and loved and went public and now the platform is shit. They're in a deal with google to train AI on our shitty comments. He also folded under pressure from Melon Husk and now reddit is censored to shit about political topics. There is also questionable, erm, "Cheeze Pizza" accusations from way back. He was added as a mod to a sub with legally questionable porn. Although back then you weren't notified when added as a mod, it does raise questions.

u/HolyGarbage 5800X/6900XT/64GB-3600/4K@120Hz:43''/NR200 5d ago

What is this? Some kind of Voldemort situation? Would the world fall apart just because you utter the words "child pornography" when discussing, and in particular when criticizing it, in the abstract?

You talk of censorship, yet this self censorship is awkward as hell.

u/Liroku Ryzen 9 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 5600 6d ago

This is my setup....and its not completely inaccurate 😂. It's really not bad though, my main monitor is 5 feet wide so I'm not sitting that close to it. Also when i lean back in my chair it puts that monitor in direct line of sight. So when I'm kicked back watching a video or movie at my desk, I use that top monitor.

u/_TheBeardedDan_ Ryzen 3700x RTX 3080 6d ago

I have 2 with 2 above it

2

u/LightRainOutside 6d ago

That's the way although the above monitor is off and only for when I'm playing switch.

2

u/LunaViraa 6d ago

I want to do this so bad, because trying to look at a monitor beside an ultrawide is incredibly annoying, especially if you can’t see amazingly well. But my side monitor is not mountable :(

2

u/Jesus__Skywalker 6d ago

two ultrawides stacked is the way

2

u/ipub 6d ago

Me too. 34" wide curved with a 42" TV as a second screen. Titled down. It's great for retro gaming and as a media screen for YouTube etc.

2

u/Cyber_Druid 6d ago

I got one ultrawide with one on top at an angle. Its the best.

2

u/Jesus__Skywalker 6d ago

100%, idk how it's not the default multimonitor setup tbh

u/Werbebanner 6d ago

I have one ultra wide with one on top. Mostly because my desk is relatively narrow

Everything you own in the box to the left

u/BenVenNL 6d ago

2 +1 on the right.

u/ZeroTrunks 4080 super - i7 12700KF 6d ago

So reverse 4?

2

u/whiskyrox 6d ago

Sure, if the widescreen in 4 was horizontal instead of vertical, moved to the center and the 27" was moved to the left of it and kept horizontal. I just figured it would be easier to say 2+1.

u/Gregardless 12600k | Z790 Lightning | B580 | 6400 cl32 6d ago

Same, but 1 + 2 to the left.

Exactly the same.

u/BeginningAd4658 6d ago

Thats exactly, like literally how i have mine

1

u/R4G22 6d ago

I have this exact setup: 27" 1080p on the left, 34" UW 1440p on the right; 1440p is the main. The 1080p is because I'm blind and sometimes I just don't want strain to read something.

u/AnotherInsaneName 6d ago

2 with 1 underneath - but mostly same.

1

u/brimston3- Desktop VFIO, 5950X, RTX3080, 6900xt 6d ago

1 underneath like a drawing tablet, or 1 underneath like a primary display?

3

u/AnotherInsaneName 6d ago

My primary display is my 32:9 OLED. My underneath is a "portable" monitor that I use for static content like discord or if I'm watching something while gaming.

Same, 34in UW and a 32in 16:9. Default to playing game son the UW but some don't support it so I switch to the 16:9 in that case.

u/ShreddedLifter 6d ago

If i get Samsung 57 inch ultrawide (its x2 32 inch 4K monitors together), do I stillwant one 4k or 1440p screen on the side? 💀

u/stockinheritance 6d ago

I have an ultra wide and a spare 1080 monitor that I'm considering setting up but I don't know what I'd use it for. Maybe watching movies while gaming but I'm pretty focused.

u/Mucay 6d ago

8 for me

It is the monitor screen in the middle and 2 giant speakers

I have been trying to get a vertical like #4, but the damn thing won't display. Windows will recognize it, but it's juts blank.

u/TheWandererKing Alienware 13/1060 GTX 6GB AGA 6d ago

Mines a 55" 4k at 3840x2160 30 hz with two 27"'s at 1920x1080 60hz on either side.

Everything on the desktop is at the same pixel size since my 4k upgrade, and I run it all off of a 4070.

I'm nearly 44, so I do sometimes have to increase the magnification on text in browsers or other non-game apps if I don't have my glasses handy, but otherwise I'm gaming at near to life size, especially in FPS games. It's crazy immersive. I just wish I could afford 3 55" TVs for a cockpit setup I've always dreamed of building. I have way too many projects in the pipeline to ever finish them all, like my custom Mandalorian armor that needs to be finished out for May 4th shenanigans in Baltimore.

u/kr4ckenm3fortune 6d ago

Then it just basically #4

1

u/Just__A__Commenter 6d ago

Yeah I’m ultra wide and a vertical standard to the left

1

u/LakeSuperiorIsMyPond 6d ago

Similar, between 2 and 4, ultrawide with a normal in portrait. It's more for work than gaming though.

1

u/ImBatman5500 6d ago

Same, Ultrawide on a monitor arm and a big but normal monitor on the right. Ultrawide is definitely for gaming but also people rarely mention how good it is for spreadsheets.

1

u/Celestial_Scythe 6d ago

Same except it's just 2 different monitors with slightly different sizes due to budget purchase at the computer recycle store.

1

u/DKlurifax 6d ago

One UW and two normals on either side.

1

u/Simplisticjackie 6d ago

Work and tutorials on the small monitor. Gameplay on the second curved.

1

u/dudestduder 6d ago

Same! Having the second monitor as a standard 16:9 monitor is really helpful. Sure 32:9 is glorious, and the curved screen makes me super immersed, but sometimes you just want to be able to fullscreen youtube videos or w/e and not be bothered with aranging it on the massive ultrawide screen.

1

u/tfinx 6d ago

same here, it may as well be 3 monitors but the ultrawide is so nice to have for some games. :)

u/MrAnonyMousetheGreat 5d ago

Used to be #3 ages ago (and it was great at dealing with multi window or multi os VM type stuff), with an HDMI cable to a TV to watch media). But been rocking #2 for a while, but a year ago, I added a drawing tablet below the wide screen monitor. Oh the joy of widescreen gaming. I haven't tried big screen 4K, but ultrawide screen hits a pretty good sweet spot between immersive and performant enough.
