I wonder if stacking up monitors will aid productivity. Having a small table/area, this might be useful for me. ---

Yeah I think it might prove popular, wonder what @dimitarvp and @Exadra37 think… they’ve both been looking at different types of monitors iirc… ---

Looks like the monitor needs some software to split the screens, and I bet they forgot Linux 🤔 ---

I seen a few adverts for this and it seems somewhat interesting but I also have quite a lot of concerns with neck strain from having one monitor too high or two low… which seems to be a common problem with monitor stacking (or very large monitors in portrait orientation). ---

[https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27qp88d-b#](https://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27qp88d-b#) I think I prefer this one, because: ![Screenshot from 2022-07-15 19-08-52](https://forum.devtalk.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/72a250303731afd861cc309238c3db0cc0eec15a.jpeg) ---

Yeah it’s definitely on the large side! I think the second half could probably be halved - that would be perfect for my LG5K, same width, just with an additional 50% on the bottom (perhaps with that bit even being a little bit curved). I would use about 65% of it as a standard monitor, then use the lower 35% for things I am monitoring or even for watching podcasts or something. > [@Exadra37](#): > > I think I prefer this one, because: I would personally hate having a thick bezel in the join 🙃 ---

I would personally avoid a monitor that needed custom software to run… Sorry, this was an assumption from my part, not an affirmation. I should have wrote it differently. I said it because I saw in the past other monitors that require you to install some software in order to be able to split large screen and make it behave like 2 monitors. Maybe in this one it’s built-in, but I didn’t lookup on it. > [@AstonJ](#): > > > [@Exadra37](#): > > > > I think I prefer this one, because: > > I would personally hate having a thick bezel in the join 🙃 I love that setup because allows me to configure the montiors as i want, without software, just rotating them 🙂 Plus I love to use monitors on the vertical for coding. ---

I wonder if a large OLED TV would be a neat idea… where you just use the central strip and blackout the rest… if it’s OLED the black areas will have the pixels switched off so shouldn’t consume energy. Actually I tried my power meter on the TV a little which ago and the power consumption fluctuated, I might try another test with the above in mind one day. (I have a curious mind! :lol:) ---

I’ve seen some who likes the Center-Portrait setup. ---

Well, I need a 5-bedroom house for my setup first. :003: ---

Why how much kit have you got :043: ---

27" display, gaming PC (pretty huge one too), 35" widescreen, mini server (book-sized), and about 4 laptops. Pretty sure even a wall encompassed by a desk and 4 meters long might turn out to be not enough!
