I tried 2 and 3 monitors and then I realized I don't like moving my neck / chair.

I use i3 and now I have 10 monitors just in front of my eyes. I can easily switch windows, move an window to the front, side by side it's fantastic. Usually my applications have a default windows in which they open, switching to a specific application is muscle memory now. No mouse movement, no head movement. Just eyes and fingers coordination.

I usually have 8+ opened applications at the same time (editor, multiple terminals, mails, browser, chat) everything is in its right place.

Since my eyes can't look at two thing at the same time, no need to display everything. It's easier to press the shortcut to switch windows than to move my head.

Everything fits on my 3840x2400 13' laptop, it's like a Tardis, bigger on the inside.

My neck hurts just reading this

That's cool! Any chance you can post a pic of your desk? I'd love to see this

You'll have to excuse the mess :) https://imgur.com/a/5uTm7VB

Also obviously I hid all the proprietary stuff.

Those last two on the right look like they're basically behind you. How do you use those?

They are about 45 degrees to the right of center. I turn my head or swivel my chair.

This is a beautiful desk setup. Do you prefer having the gaps in between?

No honestly I'd rather everything were flush, but that's the best I can do with the stand and monitors I have. The monitors aren't all the same make/model.

woah thats bonkers! What do you do with all that real estate?

Pretty much the standard tools that most people have open all the time I guess. I just want to see them all all the time without having to constantly switch windows or hide the thing I'm working on.

Music, messenger, Discord, Slack, 2 or 3 instances of my IDE, source control UI, a terminal or three, documentation for the thing I'm working on, notepad++

Dude. If you get the third row PLEASE take another picture and share it.

Your set up is magnificent.

If anyone else enjoys pictures of these setups as much as I do, you may enjoy browsing this subreddit: https://reddpics.com/r/ultimatebattlestation

Neat website, unfortunate there is no sorting option or a way to port in your account's feed (I think?).

Fun! First encounter with a non-daytrader who's got more than my 6: I use 4 portrait on the desktop, and 2 landscape on a stand, held above them.

What window manager do you use? I'm Xmonad.

Windows :D

That's an interesting configuration! Also my first encounter with someone else who understands the value of screen space.

Do you also like to keep all your things out in the open rather than tucked away inside cupboards and drawers?

I have 6:

* 27” LCD x 4

* 1 iPad (maybe this is cheating a little)

* 1 Laptop

I’ve disabled the laptop though. The LCDs are in a 2x2 array all landscape. I use the iPad mostly for meetings.
