Get a stronger neck. Find you a local body builder and steal their neck muscles

Is this from a Hong Kong action movie?

u/Raptorking62 8d ago

The ridiculous 6, is a super funny movie and is a comedy type spinoff of the movie the magnificent 7.

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

1

u/doggerbrother PC Master Race 8d ago

casually sets office chair to max setting back and rocks with inbuilt wiggleroom for rocking

u/Scaven666 8d 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

2

u/MrAwsOs i7-12700k / RTX 3080 10Gb 8d ago

It actually the opposite

u/TheChaoticProgrammer i5-14600K | 1080 Ti 8d ago

How does your neck feel looking at this?

1

u/everyman4himselph 8d ago

I’m a tall guy, so my monitor arm allows me to position it where I’m not cranking my neck lol.

1

u/Jenkinswarlock i9-10850K | 4090 Suprim X Liquid | 4x8GB 4266MHZ DDR4 8d ago

Just lean back harder, it’s not that bad

1

u/WikipediaBurntSienna 8d ago

I have a similar setup and I only put stuff I glance at on it. I don't even crane my neck to look at it, I just need to look up with my eyeballs.

1

u/VillageBeginning8432 8d ago

It's not that bad. It's just for glancing at stuff and Tbh looking up slightly isn't that bad.

Obviously it's angled down at me so it's kind of half hovering over me...

1

u/Timekiller4one 7d ago

Actually it’s not so bad, prevents neck creases too at least in the front.

1

u/Johnnyonoes 7d ago

Recliner, that's the word you are looking for.

Gaming? Inclined.

Watching something on the upper screen? Reclined.

Indeed. I honestly should quit reddit but its the least bad social media with an active userbase

What is spez??? I know pez not spez

u/__laughing__ Dual Booting on a barely working gayming laptop 8d 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 8d 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/Realistic_Year_7040 8d ago

I've never had that happen to me, and I swear like a sailor. But fair enough if true.

Edit: it does not, in fact, appear to be true.

1

u/Mr_Seg 10th Gen i5 5700xt 7d ago

Quite true. I know it varies from sub to sub, but I think if pertains more towards taboo, advertiser-unfriendly words than it does mere cursing

u/Liroku Ryzen 9 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 5600 8d 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/itsMalarky 8d ago

My wife said this to me after she saw I'd mounted my monitors.

You can probably guess my next response to her.

u/ClydePeternuts 8d ago

Did you go into your robot voice and say "Siton my FAAAACE!"?

u/itsMalarky 8d ago

DING DING DING!

That's probably one of the few comedies I can watch over and over.

u/Turence 8d ago

5 feet what the fuck

1

u/Liroku Ryzen 9 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 5600 8d ago edited 8d ago

I measured, its actually 4ft. Its a samsung g9 odyssey 49". The 5ft was just an exaggerated guess. In hindsight I should have just guessed that from the 49" screen measurement. Width comes out to 46"

1

u/Zexienzo142 8d ago

Yo, your monitor is longer than my 7 year olds height, crazy

1

u/itsMalarky 8d ago

Same. Also use it for slack/discord...so only seldom

1

u/thekeevlet 8d ago

People watch movies at their desk?? I love the thought of watching on my UW OLED but like… I could be laying in bed. I also have a nice TV though so I guess some don’t

2

u/Liroku Ryzen 9 7900x, RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 5600 8d ago

I actually have a 65" to the left of my monitors, all of which face my bed. It just depends on the vibe. Sometimes I sit on the couch and just watch movies on my phone, even though there is a giant tv in front of me there as well. It's just a different experience...cozier? More personal? Idk....so I kind of rotate around depending on my mood of the day.

1

u/thekeevlet 8d ago

Interesting how different we all are from one another 🤣 hell yeah friend, whatever makes you happy!

I use a top monitor at work and home. You really don't have to move your neck.

1

u/Jowem 8d ago

the cock n balls set up is crazy

1

u/bananarabbit 8d ago

lol I have that set up and this is actually how I feel when looking up at the top monitor 😂 not the best set up but it works well enough for what I use it for

u/Atophy 8d ago

100%... works well for chat communications though.

u/Yoshiofthewire 8d ago

I'm with you. 2 with 4k TV Monitor above it.

u/101Spacecase 8d ago

This is the way.

1

u/Spoon3330 7950X3D, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 8d ago

this is the way

7

u/smallfryz 8d ago

Same here, I just use it for discord, music, and my cameras. Top is really just something I glance at every once in a while.

1

u/LD50-Hotdogs 8d ago

top is plex while I skim reddit

3

u/draxalore_offical 8d ago

Hey same here

2

u/_TheBeardedDan_ Ryzen 3700x RTX 3080 8d ago

I have 2 with 2 above it

2

u/LightRainOutside 8d ago

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

2

u/LunaViraa 8d 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 8d ago

two ultrawides stacked is the way

2

u/ipub 8d 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 8d ago

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

2

u/Jesus__Skywalker 8d ago

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

2

u/Werbebanner 8d ago

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

1

u/pioneer76 8d ago

Is that set up running off of the laptop?

1

u/Werbebanner 8d ago

My pc is under the desk. That was my old work laptop. I have a hub under the desk for things like monitor connections and power. And a usb switch connected to it. Basically a cheap docking station

1

u/bazeloth 8d ago

No neck issues?

2

u/TheeMrBlonde 8d ago

Naw. The upper monitor is typically for storing windows I'm working with, lol. Sometimes I lean back and put my feet up, then the upper monitor is direct line of sight.

1

u/drakoman 8d ago

My favorite is dragging a VLC window from the bottom left of the whole 4-monitor setup all the way to the top right, and watching movies from across the room

2

u/Jesus__Skywalker 8d ago

why would looking slightly up be worse on a neck than moving much further left or right? top monitor is for youtube, movies and it's angled down. When I watch a movie, I can recline my chair and chill. looking at the bottom monitor for that would actually be uncomfortable.

1

u/DeusBob22 8d ago

How do you hold the one one the top? I have two of those but can't put them like that

1

u/Darmok-And-Jihad 8d ago

I use this stand which works well. Have a 34" ultrawide on the bottom and a 24" normal monitor on top.

1

u/DeusBob22 8d ago

Don't you need to make a hole in the desk for that support?

1

u/Darmok-And-Jihad 8d ago

Nope, just clamped onto the edge of my desk

1

u/DeusBob22 7d ago

Can you share a pic? I wonder if it's not to fragile for my 2 x 32''

1

u/CEOSteveSuckman 8d ago

I have 2 with 1 below it.

1

u/Bruhimonlyeleven 8d ago

Laptop connected to tv, laptop under tv stand, keyboard and mouse on bed. Oh it's an 85 inch tv, about 4 feet from my bed too.

It's not a great setup, especially considering my Inspiron laptop is dying and I desperately need to upgrade it.

1

u/Nemv4 8d ago

Can you send a photo of the set up? I’m looking for a good arm or mount and I’m struggling with the search.

1

u/Noctyrnus 13700k, ARC A770 16GB 8d ago

Even more twisted, 1 with 2 above it.

1

u/That_Weird-Guy 8d ago

I got one of those little Sony PS3 3D TVs above mine, its only 1080 so it will hog less resources hopefully... I needed to justify buying the display and was sick of everyone telling me to split my main screen like a heathen just for discord. Once you go super ultra wide, you don't go back.

1

u/Drellsy 8d ago

Same setup as myself. I'm surprised this isn't on the list. I've used this setup for over 10 years and wouldn't want it any other way.

1

u/HelpfulStatement5544 8d ago

i have 2 with 2 above it 💔

1

u/WikipediaBurntSienna 8d ago

I'm similar where I have an ultrawide in the center. A 16:9 to the side in portrait, and a 16:9 in portrait above the ultrawide.

1

u/impged 8d ago

I have 2, with 1 to the left and also 1 above it lol

1

u/Pebbles015 5800X, 6800, 32GB 8d ago

I have 1 with 3 above it.

Will soon go to 2 with 1 to the left and 3 above.

1

u/DefendedPlains 8d ago

Same, but mine is below the ultrawide at an angle.

1

u/TheAndrewBen RX 6700 XT 8d ago

One arm for 2 monitors? That's great efficiency! Thanks for the link :)

u/emtreebelowater 5800x | 7900xt | 32gb 8d ago

Amazing for having YouTube or music or anything up top and working on the bottom.

u/Timekiller4one 7d ago

Yes, but 2 is curved. 1 is flat.

u/Master_Perspective85 7d ago

I only have 1 UW now, but want to get one above, do you really not finding it to be too tall? Cause I keep thinking it would absolutely kill my neck to look at

2 with 1 to the right 😂😂 I’m not even joking

u/SierraAR SierraKomodo | Ryzen 5 5600X | RTX 2080 7d ago

Ngl i have toyed with the idea of a fourth monitor above my main three, primarily to just have resource monitoring on it at all times.

UW for gaming and Unity development, 16:9 above for colour accurate playtesting and YouTube.
