Meanwhile im considering a 4th display for my PC lol
Maybe money was the right choice in the end
I only have space for one monitor, because the rest of my (large) desk if crammed with speakers, amplifiers, DACs, a record player, vacuum tube phono, and midi controllers. Someday I’ll get a super sized desk that has space for two monitors. Four is crazy though
Good question :3 so 2 of the displays I have are 25" (or 24.5") monitors, those are for my general multitasking, I found one screen to be really lacking for certain tasks, like screen recording for example, as I’d basically have to run everything windowed or across different workspaces, and then switch between like 3-4 apps just to monitor everything that I want, not even counting other apps I want open lol, which gets cluttered. So usually I use my main screen for whatever task im focusing on + workspaces, and the 2nd for chat apps, media (spotify/youtube for podcasts usually), and some other varying apps like a browser/settings/OBS
The 3rd screen is a tv! It’s angled away from my desk and towards my bed, and it’s basically just for media I want to consume while not sitting in an office chair, like movies, or whatever lol
And the 4th one I considered would be for video calls as I said in a different reply in the thread :3. I was looking at prompters (which are basically just screens reflected on transparent glass with a camera behind it) just cause for me it can be kinda awkward switching between looking at the screen and the camera, and I don’t want to look like im just constantly looking off to the side to the other person lol :3. This is very much an overkill solution though :3
I have 4 and a quad monitor mount. 3 would have been fine. 4 is useful sometimes though.
Tbh the entire reason I want the 4th one is for video calls, which is very overkill :3
This also works for your friends who have kids
