I have triple monitors at work and got excited to see me way out at the end of the graph until I actually read the axes. 😭

What configuration of monitors do you use? I like the capital H, myself.
Every UI is made for widescreen ratio right? So maybe one portait for reading is cool, but what else do you want it for?
More reading, basically.
I never understand how the tie fighter monitor configuration got to be this popular. It looks so stupid...
Ours are in a "ultra wide" layout, just 3 in a row.
This one got deep-fried in a hurry.
As an enjoyer of large screens... This tracks. I don't see how you can do a job on a laptop or under 32in monitor.
Seeing all these "consults" with their laptops... Is mostly a show of force
I have a 16" laptop and lowkey hate using it when I don’t have it connected to my two 27" HD panels at my desk. Once I got to use it hooked up to two 32" 4K panels and I’ve been jealous of that setup ever since. I saw an $90 portable 15.6" monitor at Costco yesterday, looks like it can run on a single USB-C connection, and am sorta seriously considering getting that for when I’m on the road. Maybe I can get work to get me something like that.
I mean, the single laptop screen works fine when I need it, but I really prefer having more real estate.
Correlation to real-world performance is reverse.
Indicates that middle to upper management has the optimal work/pay ratio. Which in turn indicates that the company should reorganize to get rid of executives and CEOs.
I'd be on two monitors but my M1 MacBook Air can't output to two screens apparently.
It can!
They just have to be mirrored.
My boss jumped on it and got one as soon as they came out, then complained when he couldn’t use two monitors but was kinda stuck since he’d pushed for the upgrade.
DisplayLink docks will sort that out! Ive been running my work M1 with 2 external monitors for a couple years now. 34" ultrawide for the main, 4k on the left, laptop on the right.
