    This is so evil that it goes far, far beyond chaotic evil and I hope bad things happen to whoever is responsible for this:

    All of the screens are working now, this was an old laptop that couldn’t handle that many outputs. I’ve got a webcam and a small mirror in the hole between the top screens so I can see if anyone entered the room behind me.

        I have 1 daily driver (personal) and 1 work.

        The other is an old one that runs twitch / Spotify/ youtube while I work on a separate pair of headphones so the work productivity monitoring software doesn’t pick it up.

        I’m hybrid so I have to take the work computer into the office once a week and on work travel trips

        My daily driver also has to be portable so I can play games next to my wife on the sofa sometimes, or I also use it for video, voice over and music editing so being able to move it also helps.

        Also I sometimes use the twitch/spotify/youtube laptop to show sheet music while I record on my daily driver without worrying about fan noise.

      Mine is like this but upside down (2 is a laptop) and with a large gap between the top two. Sort of Mickey mouse head style, but all the same size. I primarily use 2 and 3.

      Probably chaotic evil for these as well, since they didn’t even make the chart.

        Neutral Good here but I would do this if I had my monitors on arms so I could raise them above my open laptop screen; I don’t like having a gap or having the screens blocked by the laptop.

      I have to know what you’re doing with this if it’s not, like, watching security footage. I can see a number of uses but all of them(that I can think of) are productivity based and are the kind of thing where you never really spend long periods of time on any one screen.

        I see a lot of folks using that setup where the upper monitor is playing video, like Netflix or YouTube as background entertainment while doing other stuff on the bottom two, mostly coding/work type stuff.

          That makes sense. I’m tall so my main monitor sits high enough up that my laptop fits underneath which is the same vibe but inverted.

        This is my work-from-home setup.

        2 is my laptop opened all the way and sitting in a vertical stand, so the screen is above and a little behind the other monitors, and the laptop camera is top center. I put Teams up there, so I can notice if I’m being messaged.

        1 and 3 are on a dual arm stand. They are where I do my actual work. All kinds of stuff.

    What is it considered when my side monitor is about 10% obscured by my main one because my monitor arm doesn’t open wide enough?

      I unironically love that thing from Swordfish even if deep down I know it is dumb.

    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.

    My work setup is chaotic evil except I don’t have the left vertical monitor but all 4 of my monitors are different sizes.

    My home setup is just chaotic good.

      Same here, I don’t get why it’s chaotic evil. I just buy one monitor at a time, so they can never match.

      If I read correctly then I have the same setup as you except it’s mirrored and the both middle monitors are 21:9.

    Chaotic neutral is, unironically, the best for a lot of work related tasks. It takes up less space on a desk and the vertical monitor just makes a lot of sense for reading Teams/Slack/whatever, answer emails, reading documents, etc… I actually picked it up from a friend who uses a vertical curved monitor and he said it was great for coding related work. Don’t skimp on the resolution, though, ‘cause you’ll probably want 1440p to make sure the words are clear. 4k is fine but probably overkill and needlessly expensive.

    When I worked from home I had my personal 34” curved screen in the middle of my desk for AutoCAD and a vertical monitor from work fit perfectly between the main monitor and the edge of the desk. T’was brilliant. And I’m tall so my main screen is high enough up that my laptop fits underneath and I can watch shows and stuff

    Verti-hori for lyyyfe.
