Legitimately what is the ultrawide monitor that's angled on the desk below the main center monitor? I've been looking for one of these to use for music production
And is it touchscreen?
I think it's just two monitors are creatively mounted. They are just sandwiched between two desks. Ultrawide monitors are generally curved so I doubt that it's ultrawide.
Ah, it seems you're right. Unfortunate. If there was a monitor in this form factor I'd instantly buy
I think it's two monitors next to each other.
That monitor setup is making me feel all tingly. Legit question: how much would a setup like that cost?
Your comment makes me think you'd like this meme I found the other day
Bahaha yes exactly
I felt loneliness when my third monitor broke, can confirm.
You just need 3 largish televisions, a small TV or monitor for the top, and stuff to mount each screen in that configuration. Your PC doesn't need to be that good unless you are doing something like gaming, just enough to run 4 1080p windows. Once you connect them, it's fairly easy to adjust the configuration in Windows to extend and rotate the monitors to make the setup work. Depending on how you get the televisions (you can buy them used, flat screen 1080p TVs have been popular for a long time and are relatively affordable) and how you decide to mount them, you can build this setup for only a couple hundred
Can you even still buy 1080p televisions?
Trying to buy a smallish TV recently for my bedroom and most were hdready ballshit
Can find some great deals at thrift shops if you're not too picky about resolution!
bro even got the RGB soundbar ⁉️
Gotta make the machine optimized for over clocking and general "pushed and totally maxxxxx...xxed" processing specs, you need them.
It's like speed holes for the hood of your car. The the RGB even have a speaker, which just makes them cooler
Hmm I wonder if that Sublime Text is UNREGISTERED...
Hello Wurld
Wow, what a horrible setup.
I have a guy that does this. He puts so much effort in weird mobility solutions (ie: Dual monitors on a rolling table so he can work outside sometimes) or having a setup like this with TV's, monitors etc all cobbled together.
Would you be surprised to hear hes not the most organized or efficient.
For real. It's so much better to think about using the screen space you already have. People can do what they want, but I am happy with one screen, a tiling window manager, and workspaces. I can have a dozen or more things going on, and have it packed on a workspace. Fullscreen a window of I need to, then pop it back.
It's incredibly efficient. I see stuff like this, and I imagine what it's like to have text several feet away, screens covered by other screens, lots of neck fatigue, all the monitor borders... like it's truly bad. It feels like someone watched a lot of TV and "felt" that this was the best way to do it without trying it.
Butt I digress. It's not my setup. If they're efficient with it, more power to them.
Yeah im similar. I still use 1080 monitors and just 2 at a regular workspace. Its about the perfect DPI for reading text. Things like 4k just make it harder or you have to bump up the fractional scaling, in which case why the more pixels?
Im fine to keep it to a laptop monitor when im mobile, and 2+laptop monitor for email when at a desk.
