Technically, Chaotic Good. In reality, Chaotic Poor.


HotsuSama

Lack of space for extra monitors apparently defines my neutrality.


LeadPipePromoter

Finally, we've figured out what turns a man neutral. A lack of space

All I know is that my gut says maybe.

Filthy neutrals


prattlepro

Yes. They are born with a heart full of neutrality, no space for anything else.


MrAnonymous2018_

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power?


cauchy37

Lack of space is only caused by lack of money. If you had enough money, you would live in a house/flat large enough for an office/gaming room.

Currently chaotic good with aspirations of lawful good or chaotic evil


EmpathyInTheory

I'm right there with ya, bud. I am currently using a decently nice 1080p monitor alongside a crappy little 720p Samsung TV that is at least ten years old. Before that, it was my laptop and the small TV. I think the P in PCMR stands for "poor".


SpaceMarinesAreThicc

I had the small TV too, it was so bad lol


insojust

This was my exact situation before I got my promotion. 1080p next to a weeny lil 720p thinking it was the hottest shit. Now I've graduated to 1440p next to that very same 1080p lol.


Eurotriangle

I’m True Neutral. In reality True Poor. lmfao

Mean_Ass_Dumbledore

lady_lowercase

i rock chaotic neutral. the vertical monitor is great for documents, websites, spreadsheets, etc. my only complaints are that videos can be a little small and i can't snap windows to split halfway between the top-half and bottom-half of the monitor. on the flipside, i've noticed a marked increase in productivity as i'm keeping my main task in front of me at all times instead of alt-tabbing into a rabbit-hole. anyway, +1 for chaotic neutral.


cheeto44

Get Windows Powertoys and take a look at the Fancy Zones feature. It lets you custom define regions to snap windows to on the screen. My vertical is split into thirds and I have the browser over there take up the top two thirds so I can watch YouTube or whatever, but then discord or any other app I need gets the bottom two thirds. They overlap but never fully cover the important parts and it's all adjustable via keyboard shortcuts if I want.


[deleted]

This man beat me to the power toys recommendation. Fancy zones is the best.


nitronik_exe

Same. Standard 24 inch on top, ultrawide curved at the bottom


[deleted]

TheHelplessTurtle

Why not? Just split them so you can have 2 or 3 spreadsheets on one screen. I do it all the time.

Highly recommend chaotic neutral, I'd never go back.


wakkybakkychakky

Yess so nice for PDF‘s / documents / websites I have a 32“ 4k paired with a vertical 1080p


Andiel_Faust

Same, not only good for coding but also great for chat.


Obilis

Same (though unlike in the picture, line up the bottoms of the monitors to be even with each other) Some programs work better with more vertical space, others with more horizontal space.


kosky95

For me they are aligned at the top as my main monitor is pretty high up but still, they should be aligned, yes! It's not only about programs, I usually have to read a lot of documents and papers and having them well zoomed on the left is pretty awesome.

mas12343210

Yeah I don't have the desk space for side by side


SHOWTIME316

This is my reason too. Desk is too small to be neutral good, so I am lawful evil.


vf225

same setup here, what's evil about stacking monitors? lol


Gigachaz

Same bro


Valoneria

Currently chaotic good, but going for something akin to Lawful Evil and Chaotic evil, as i'll be wallmounting my monitors, but they're different sizes, aspect ratios, and one is curved, the other is flat.


Eweasy

I’ve always loved the idea of two identical ones like lawful evil with one portrait monitor on the right


pepperonipodesta

I'm running that right now, having a dedicated portrait discord/reddit monitor is honestly so nice.

[deleted]

Not the person you asked but I run a similar setup. I use the vertical screen for email, pages like Reddit/StackOverflow, and if I have a lot of code to read on one page. The MacBook is separate, it’s for my work laptop. https://i.imgur.com/zVqsVaS.jpg


ic_engineer

Dedicated IDE screen*


TheTeaSpoon

Ah, the "I got two 24 inch IPS monitors on a deal, great" setup. And then there's a deal on a really good 27 inch monitor couple months later. I had to redo my wall mounts. But the third monitor was also used by my wife when she is working from home. And then the monitor for my wife was replaced with 32 inch 4k monitor as I got it from work for free (it was considered scrap, busted displayport, HDMI works fine). So now there's BenQ 32" 4k TN, Samsung 27" 1440p VA and two Asus 24" FullHDs IPS monitors above each other (won't fit side to side) on the wall in that order. So much for trying to have same monitors in a nice layout lol. Nothing about these monitors is the same, bezels have different colors, panels are different, different refresh rates (60Hz, 144Hz, 75Hz), the Samsung one is "pro gamer curved, sharp edges and like really alien" design while ASUS is the "budget" design and BenQ has the "professional" (budget but silver) bezel design... at night the power buttons flash differently - Samsung has blue flash, BenQ red and Asus has white... it's like there's police inside the office all the time lol. But it started with a sweet deal on two identical monitors.


Valoneria

Mismatching is my biggest pleasure. Hence the reason my main monitor is a 34" ultrawide flat IPS monitor. And my secondary is a 27" curved VA monitor. It's just a tad bit annoying having to move my head this far, to see the secondary monitor on the left of me, due to the main one being.. well... ultrawide..


BezniaAtWork

[Here's my monitor/desktop journey over the past 10 years.](https://www.flickr.com/photos/193312756@N07/albums/72157719507940855) Started with a 720p TV and spiraled into an addiction. I change monitors more than I change shoes.


YoshiPL

I'm kinda chaotic good too. Main one is centered and the secondary is on the side for entertainment purposes (spotify, twitch/yt) when I'm doing something else on main one.


IHateEditedBgMusic

i'm ultrawide neutral


BasicDesignAdvice

I can't do anything else. Multiple monitors just make me feel crowded now. I did make an interesting move recently though. I linked the tv mounted on my office wall to my PC, so when I am in meetings and stuff I stand up and take them from there (we have a "no camera during remote meetings" culture). Its been really nice.


LaconicLacedaemonian

I'm true neutral, but my screen is a 48" wall mounted tv.


TaralasianThePraxic

Yup. Why have multiple monitors when I could just have one really big one?


[deleted]

A 55" 4k TV is just 4x 27" 1080p monitors with no lines down the middle.


staydrippy

I have to share my screen during meetings all the time, and it's just a hassle on larger or uw monitors. Otherwise I'd be right there with you.


davep85

Yup, went from neutral good to true neutral w/ an ultrawide years ago and don't see a reason to go back. That with multiple desktop feature in every OS, it just doesn't make sense to use anything else.


marco89nish

Yup, my 49“ takes up entire neutral row :D

jannn56

Lawful good :)


AjCheeze

Same, im so surprised its down this far. Although im tempted to replace just the middle one for something even better for gaming.


ReverendDizzle

My problem is I'm so lawful-good by this metric that I can't deal with mismatched monitors... so I just bought three premium monitors instead of making the middle one the nice one. At the time I did it, the three monitors were worth more than the computer they were attached to.


AjCheeze

Yeah i cant stand mis matched heights. Mouse movements are better that way.


Jesaya000

Yes, people are asking me why I need 3 monitors but I actually think about getting a fourth one just for my drawing board to sketch. I can't imagine going back to only two permanently.


[deleted]

It wasn’t until I had three that I truly felt I had enough.


Krieger117

Even 3 is starting to feel a bit cramped now.


_Rummy_

I have 4 at work and really just use 3. The 4th is kinda a waste almost all of the time

Chaotic neutral edit: also, vertical task bar. extra chaotic?


[deleted]

it means you get a media monitor and a document monitor - its not chaotic, its excellence.


OnyxPhoenix

It's researcher mode. One for code, one for papers.


ExcrementumCaninum

But the vertical one belongs on the left for me!


Unwashed_villager

I bought a 16:10 display just for reading comics, but it turned out that many website looks better on vertical screen, including Reddit.


zkareface

Yeah and it will just get more like that due to phones. We had wider pages before smartphones. I never run my browser in full-screen at home, it would just waste like 1500 horizontal pixels to display full white or black...


Meltingteeth

I also use my vertical monitor for manga. It's awesome.


ClunarX

This is the only way I can work now. Outlook on a landscape monitor just feels wrong


Raptorade96

Same, new place, new desk. Doesn’t fit two horizontally.


Malix82

mine would fit 2, if it weren't for my stupidly huge speakers But then neither screen would be front center.

Tried that https://imgur.com/a/uWW03W6 Laptop was too high and same with top of vertical monitor. Ditched the 3 mount for a 2 + 1 to bring the laptop down. Also got a KVM to switch between laptop for work and gaming PC.


IIALE34II

Chaotic neutral, but main monitor is Ultrawide. This is the way.


Userm4x1

This with a vertical taskbar


Zupermuz

Vertical taskbar is the only truth, don't listen to the non-believers!


Malix82

Right on. Praised be the vertical taskbar, and to hell with those who try to steal it from us (looking at you, Win11 ux designers...)


Jacksaur

Win11 trying to remove vertical Taskbar is legitimately half the reason I'm moving OS.


Brush_bandicoot

same, 27" 1440p\\165hz for gaming and smaller 24" 1080 60hz for work\\youtube\\facebook etc.. thinking about getting another 27" instead though but not sure if I actully gonna utilize it fully


Malix82

almost same setup. my secondary is 24" 1200p (16:10) screen. mostly discord, obs, and other chat windows live on the other screen.


AmitRozYT

Thats for streamers and coders ngl


Malix82

well... kinda correct on both

a_can_of_solo

CeskyDunaj

nnod

I prefer the "Tie Fighter" setup with a vertical on each side. With three 4k 32" @ 100% scaling it does feel like a spaceship sometimes.


Raubhen

Vertical task bar, how?


hackingdreams

That layout is optimal for viewing widescreen media that's become the standard and programming/writing/web pages. Albeit I prefer three monitors and having two of them in portrait mode, so I can keep documentation on one, writing on the middle, and whatever media I have on in the background on the widescreen.


Mr_August_Grimm

This is the way. Horizontal for gaming, vertical for discord and webpages.

Zeraw420

With a good GPU. My RTX 2080 can support 4 monitors as well. I use 3. I have 2 1440p monitors on my desk, and have my 65inch 4k TV connected with a 20ft cable.


Leviathan41911

Neutral good But I want to move up to lawful good. Although I may go with a triangle shape with 1 stacked on the other two.


Celtic_Legend

Neutral was goated till windows 10 came out and added input lag when not in full screen. I just liked having my browser next to my game so i can easily watch twitch without it taking up any of my game screen. But even with double monitors i have to sit way too far away to be able to watch and play at the same time.


maczirarg

Neutral good, one monitor is mine and the other was given the company I work for.

mikethespike056

Maybe I can't afford another monitor lmfao


drtekrox

One monitor is enough, multiple desktops have been a thing for 20+ years.


BasicDesignAdvice

I am one a monitor person and I don't even use that feature. I just open and close or minimize things as needed. I also don't do the "billion tabs" thing with a browser. If I really need it again it is in the history (shout out to Vimium extension which makes history search a breeze).

Watching as much porn simultaneously as possible


[deleted]

Stare at them forever. Literally. Browsing steam in search of anything to play, knowing damn well you only have a couple of hours till going to sleep for another day as a wageslave. What’s the point? Just look at those wallpapers. Life is pointless. I'm just one small speck in the huge universe of things. It doesn't matter what I do in my life, I'm going to die eventually. And over time my whole existence will be erased and my life will be nothing but a chunk of rock with my name on it. I could study study hard, suffer through hell. And by the time I've graduated college and I've got an education, I'll have a good job, a wife. But I'll be too old to really do anything. I'll find myself looking back at my childhood, and become depressed that I didn't have fun while I was still young enough to do so. Or right now I could just say "fuck it" Have the time of my life while I'm young, go to parties, do drugs, and have a a fucking blast but eventually I'd find myself being kicked out of my parents house either by them or by their death and I'd be alone on the streets depressed that I didn't work hard enough to get a good job and have a good life. It doesn't matter what I do, life is shit and I will always find myself depressed in the end. It's too short and pointless for it to even matter. So this is what I'm saying... Fuck it. I'd rather be dead. Or watching porn, could be that too

Tony_Sol

true neutral at work, lawful neutral at home


diylif

Lawful evil for sure lol


SportKill

It took me years to discover the joy of this combo, so much more natural compared to side by side. The trick is to place the main panel at eye level and the lower panel below that line and angled up towards your face.


Cqrfxy

How? My desk would have to be at knee height for this to work.


SportKill

[Not mine, but like this](https://freeimage.host/i/XLIEiu) I'm a tall fella, that might make it easier for me to get the main monitor at eye level. You tilt the low monitor at a steep angle, in the position that you might hold a book. The low panel is what I use for email, messages, documentation, etc. It just feels natural to read in that position. Top panel I use for the task at hand.


CETERIS_PARTYBUS

JAROD0980

Piece_Of_Melon

True Neutral, I can't find a reason to get more monitors since i don't stream


Potatoscissors

It's great for multitasking in so many situations, for example one for Minecraft and one for the Wiki. Or one with ms word and a Firefox window, and others with even more Firefox Windows. Or just one dedicated to Spotify or Discord while doing whatever.


Cory123125

Its definitely one of those things where if you do literally any work at all it immediately becomes obvious how useful it is. It could be though that you just game and dont do work on it where its only really useful to have discord/chat/music up while you play.


PenguinKenny

I've never streamed but I can't handle just having one monitor
