The vertical feature in windows was the best thing Microsoft ever did. My ideal set up is two stacked horizontally oriented screens with a vertical screen either side. Documents, code and web pages are tall, simulation diagrams and PowerPoints, etc, are wide. Fight me.
I used to be closer to CE with my 3-screen, phone on boom-arm ass setup. Now have reverted to LG since I was getting a bit too excited.
Neutral or chaotic good. The screens are close in size. I don’t think they’re identical though, so probably chaotic.
I’m LN but they’re in a LE configuration because my desk has a little raised platform
I’m not on that list LMAO
For the first time ever, I’m apparently lawful evil.
But… why? How is that better than just putting them next to each other?
Back when native resolution was 4:3 it made more sense to have them side by side, but 16:9 it just makes more sense to have them vertically stacked.
Also, my setup is a 50" 4k TV for the top screen and a 43" 1080p for the bottom, I’d have to look sooo faaar over to see the other screen that I honestly don’t have the wall space in my room for it. I am generally reclined on a couch while using it, my head resting is centered on the upper screen with either a reference of whatever I’m working on the lower, though usually it will be a twitch stream I’m tangentially interested in but only need to take a look at it on occasion if I head something interesting happening.
Also lawful evil. Why is it better to have them next to each other?
I have never seen a setup like that personally, so it feels weird to me. But I feel like it would be hard to allways look up to your second screen, because that one wouldn’t be on eye hight. And it sounds pretty anoying when you want to drag ans drop your windows by holding them an the top of your screen.
But I get that it has advantages like less space used. Probably mostly feels weird to me, because I don’t know it :)
That’s a valid point, I’ll probably explain why I like it.
I don’t look up, I look down for the second and primary is eye height. I’m on Linux with KDE which has a nice 10px boundary before passing onto the next screen so I can snap all I want. I can also snap on my top bar which has the launcher, taskbar and stuff.
I can access my bar from both the top and the bottom which is nice and convenient. Here’s a picture of the insanity :)
I have my comp in a small nook in the side of my bedroom that’s supposed to be where a dresser lives. Couldn’t fit two monitors side by side easily so I put two ultrawides, one on top of the other. Works out really nice tbh.
chaotic good
vertical 24" on left. Horizontal 32" (gaming one) in middle. 2nd 24" on the right, horizontal
At home I’m a true neutral, and at work a combination of neutral good and chaotic neutral. And when I bring my work laptop home I’m lawful neutral.
Just need to work on neutral evil, then I’ll be all neutral.

I have three monitors. Two 27" in neutral good configuration, then a third smaller 4:3 monitor (not sure what size off the top of my head) in a chaotic good type setup, albeit on the left side, not the right.
My desktop machine can use all three, but the two main monitors are usually tuned to my work laptop.
CG personal computer, LN work computer. Same large monitor for both
In the days of 1024x768, I found turning my one screen over to 768x1024 was great for coding!
It’s a bit problematic to run websites on a vertical 1080p display, since it seems that most websites default to around 1200 or 1280 wide, so you end up having to horizontally scroll. It’s problematic.
IDK why it’s so difficult to find 1920x1200 displays so I can put a new vertical display on my system… It’s literally the only reason I don’t have a vertical display on my system right now.
Shouldn’t zooming out a bit do the trick? Or does the text become too small?
I’m neutral good on the left and neutral evil on the right… Not sure where this falls
chaotic neutral
My old Dell laptop got a dark display corner and a few times of usage later it went completely and permanently dark. So I used an external screen only until I got my new laptop.
Lawful chaotic?I don’t subscribe to your morality. I have my second monitor on the floor under the desk.I often unplug it and plug in a projector that’s pointing at the wall to my left for YouTube while I work. Haha!
I used to be chaotic good for some time before I decided I needed the desk space more.
