I'm at true neutral.
I'm at true neutral.
OK, calm down Satan....
You can use a software called LittleBigMouse to make this better. It's really nice in my experience with 2 1080p screens and one 4k. All roughly the same size
So, uh, I have no idea if my chaotic good monitors have different dpi. I guess I'm just used to it lol
where does diagonal fall?
Looking at your picture makes my neck hurt.
It doesn't bother you looking up or are you a giraffe ?๐ฆ
It's a standing desk?
I never seen a standing desk honestly, I thought it was a meme more than anything else.
I'm not using it as much as I should be, but it is genuinely a pleasant improvement over sitting all day long. A really expensive chair can do you a lot of good, but nothing beats the mobility of standing. When I read something or watch something I can do some light exercise for my legs, squatting a tiny bit and moving my upper body left and right for example. For a lot of people it can be a good start to moving their body a bit more.
If you go running every other day you don't need it, I'll give you that.
Needs more RGB.
Wait till you find out how pixels work
Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.
Represent.
I'm sort of that. I've got two landscape and one portrait monitor, the portrait one is good for browsing websites like this one where there's a lot of vertical text. I actually find myself preferring the landscape ones for coding since my IDE has a lot of stuff in sidebars and also some of the lines of text are very long.
I am technically, but I almost never turn on my second (vertical) monitor. Usually when I have my main set to a different source and I want something from my desktop PC on the other monitor.
Don't take the chart seriously. Pretty much all of these setups are good for their uses and are done by someobdy, even certain forms of "chaotic evil".
I'm a mix between chaotic neutral and lawful neutral. I have a vertical monitor on my left which is mainly for slack + documents. Center screen for code and what ever I'm focused on and laptop screen on the right for calendar, email, other not in focus things.
Oh, that's Brilliant. I'm going to try this out
I feel attacked, the pc came with a 4:3 monitor for you information... the bigger one was a the gift
For me it was more I upgraded my main monitor so my old main monitor is now a side monitor.
If you only use the TV to watch media, you're lawful neutral. If you use it for gaming or anything else, you're chaotic good.
Hah, I'm just gaming on a laptop but one that's connected to my TV
Ummmm... how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?
That's how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:
I don't know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware สโฟส
But otherwise, true neutral.
Like this monstrosity Samsung released. I remember seeing videos of people using it thinking it was the goofiest shit
You can tell xrandr anything, it doesn't have to be physically connected. So you could get 3960x1080 virtual screen space for a single vertical HD screen. If you move your mouse to the edge of the screen it will scroll what is visible. I discovered it in my triple monitor setup. I turn off screens I don't need (they waste like 30W!), but the script I wrote to notify X11 of these changes doesn't work as reliably as I would like, lol. Also duplicate polybar sometimes, haha.
Not sure how useful this is, because while the application thinks it has all this screen space available you can't actually see all of it at once.
Hard disagree. More monitors is morally better.
Vertical monitors are good for code, too.
If you don't care about them matching, thrift stores can have some really good deals.
Even at thrift stores it's usually not too hard to find a pair with matching size and resolution which are the two big considerations. Getting screens with identical pixel sizes makes all the difference.
I buy all my monitors on Craigslist because I am broke as hell and people unload 1080p monitors with chunky bezels cheaply
I run chaotic neutral plus a laptop to the side. The vertical monitor is home to chat and Spotify.
Yah, i will also choose this if i want to have 2 monitor.
Yeah, it's missing: [Laptop] [Monitor 1] [Monitor 2]
or the Chaotic version: [Monitor 1] [Laptop] [Monitor 2]
Enough for System stats, or a music player (especially if you can use it for input too, without it tabbing out of games)
I guess it would work for notes f.ex. Or something like colour palettes
Tilted 22 degree to maximize the potential line length that can be displayed.
Glad to see another hanging PC!
It was the only way I could get my monitors connected to my standing desk. Now I only need to figure out if subjecting hard drives to motor vibrations is risky, or if they can handle a bit of shaking when switching between sitting and standing.
Yeah man! I have a wifi receiver/repeater, UPS, audio mic amplifier, and the PC mounted under. I move every 6 months and this lets me simplify having a workspace. I like being able to wheel the desk around.
So Chaotic Evil just gets way more screen real estate than everybody else?
At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes
At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them
Not a programmer though, I make videos
I'm pretty much chaotic evil, with a laptop.
One thing I will say: anyone who has a single window spanned across multiple monitors needs battering. "Oh, yah, I fookin' love 'aving un two-centimeter black bar in middul of me Word doccumant". Unhinged sociopaths, all of them.
Dunno, but I would like to know more about your lamp
Unfortunately I got it at a thrift shop and there are no stickers. Googling for "pulley lamp" shows me one that looks very similar: "Carbon Loft Tirith Industrial Farmhouse Table Lamp with Pulley System"
Thanks for that!
Lawful neutral at home and Chaotic neutral at work
Guess I'm chaotic evil
Itโs a DnD thing.
What about those who eschew multi monitor setups in favour of an ultrawide?
basically neutral good without bezels
And what about the ones who just use a 50โ TV
Chaotic good, one 32" 2560ร1440 display, one old 19" 1280ร1024 display (mainly used for referencing docs, for a debugger, or watching a VTuber or a conference presentation).
I think they're all evil with those skulls on the screen.
I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it's just so convenient.
Lawful good at home.
Laptop and two horizontal monitors at work. Is that lawful neutral good or neutral good lawful?
Personally, I think it's probably neutral awful - one is HDMI and the other is VGA.
I've got my laptop, main 32" inch monitor, and a 27" vertical monitor on the other side. So am I a lawful chaotic neutral? Chaotic lawful neutral? Truly true neutral? Also, one is connected through HDMI and the other is connected through DVI.
Not a programmer, but I run Neutral Good + Lawful Neutral at the office, because my work issued a docking station with two symmetrical monitors, but they also issued me a laptop instead of a desktop, so what am going to do, not use the third monitor?
So, it's ugly, but it works since I either put baseball on one of the big monitors or Spotify on the laptop, and work on the other two.
I'm lawful neutral monitorally but ideologically chaotic neutral. This and that then.
I have the chaotic neutral setup and the open notebook as a third monitor. Does that resolve to true neutral too?
I'm a reverse Lawful Neutral; laptop on the left, monitor on the right.
Before that I had a 16:9 monitor on the left and a 4:3 monitor on the right. That doesn't seem to be in the chart anywhere.
Seriously, someone needs to start making high-quality 4:3 monitors again. Sure, they're not great for movies and modern video games, but they're great for reading.
Why is it neutral evil to have a monitor without a face?
Due to a mistake I made, I'm chaotic good instead of neutral good. Current set-up is a 27" 1080p HDMI on the left, and 24" 1080p VGA on the right. Not too much in a hurry to replace my smaller monitor though, I need to upgrade my graphics card first to allow for a HDMI-HDMI configuration at least.
Lawful Neutral reporting in!
Not a programmer either but this is the only setup I can do in my studio at home. At work however it's a 4 screen setup as Chaotic Good.
Let the judgement begin!
Lawful Evil at work Neutral Good at home Shockingly accurate about more than just the monitors!
Chaotic good but I REALLY vibe with that chaotic evil
Chaotic good but smaller monitor is on the left, only because I had one shitty monitor I got on sale right out of high school and eventually bought a much nicer but slightly smaller one later.
No one is chaotic good because they want to be. We are chaotic good because 2 good monitors is expensive.
So true lol
Big desks and room to put them are also expensive
Honestly, these days I just work directly on my laptop. Get to use touchpad gestures which is nice, grilling my hands under CPU load maybe less nice.
It's usually enough to just alt+tab between my IDE and browser, so my workflow hasn't suffered much.
Chaotic evil baby. I need somewhere to read long documents, manga, man pages and configs.
waiting for the "they're all evil" because using windows
Might want to zoom in a little bit there.
yes it's the linus one I'm aware
Lawful neutral, though my laptop is up on a stand to bring it to the height of the monitor, so maybe chaotic good?
Gaming setup is true neutral Work from home setup is lawful neutral Office setup is chaotic evil
Chaotic neutrals wya?! Especially when I was using a Mac for work with ShiftIt
So, Lawful Neutral is just broke? Hunh... (Counts on fingers: druids, monks, cloistered scholars...) Yeah, that tracks.
Also, ofc I'm Chaotic Neutral. Pfft. I blame Elite Dangerous, as I was once Neutral Good, but then discovered what the game was like on an Index, and then there was no reason for the monitors to start that way anymore. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Chaotic neutral isn't that bad when you're doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.
I've been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.
Chaotic neutral vibin with stream on the right and game on front
Chaotic good. I got an older smaller 720p monitor as second. Hey if it works.
Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.
One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.
I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.
^So, ^more ^like: lawful evil
Chaotic Evil is that stupid hacking computer in Swordfish.
Hell yeah brother
I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD
Hey my old monitor setup isn't here.
Main display is normal with a laptop underneath, a vertical display to the left with a laptop display on the bottom under the first monitor
I think the closest is chaotic good although I have three monitors, two smaller ones on each side and a bigger one in the center so kinda lawful good too.
We have neutral evil at my work
..why?
I'm both chaotic good and lawful neutral, depending if it's for my job or not. I suppose that's a fair assessment of the difference between my professional character and home character.
I'm a combination of neutral good and lawful neutral. 2 identical monitors + laptop.
Great for PDFs and word documents!
Chaotic Neutral, if you align the secondary monitor right Everything Worksโข
I'm on the third Z axis of this chart
two screens same size to the front, laptop on a riser to my left, at a right angle, third, smaller screen to the left of that connected to a second laptop
All of these are good and sometimes necessary except the bottom-right.
So, would using a monitor and a phone screen be lawful neutral too? Because that's what I usually do if I need to look up things for whatever I'm doing and don't want to boot up my desktop web browser.
Chaotic neutral
A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.
I have a second monitor at the upper left of my primary one
Update with 5x5 grid and add ultrawide and HD/4k/Smartphone mixes.
Lawfull good but got the laptop screen in the middle below
Chaotic neutral converted to true neutral when my 2nd one broke then I realized I didn't miss it much
I'm in between chaotic neutral and neutral evil I guess.
2 portrait displays with a landscape display in the middle. Teams on the left, Outlook on the right, main content in the middle.
Awww yis. high five
I can't help but like the way it treats me like it doesn't care. So coy.
Used to be a chaotic neutral, but realised that a full screen video doesn't work well with a display in portrait orientation (and even if I have a laptop below, it's too small). Neutral good right now with two 27"s; might add a 34" later on.
True neutral right now, but since I'm already here, does anyone know if curved monitor is viable as a secondary display? I already have the monitor around, but since it's not rotatable I can't really try this setup for myself.
It'd be 27' 1440p flat horizontally (main) and 24' 1080p curved vertically next to it.
I was Lawful Neutral, but gave my monitors to my wife in exchange for a better single monitor. Nothing special, just a 27" Samsung w/ a high refresh rate and richer blacks that I found difficult to achieve with my old monitors. I found that I rarely (if ever) used both of them. Only while looking up information in MMOs like Classic WoW, but I play those so seldom these days that I'm getting a lot out of a single.
This just seems random, but then I remember the 24 bad guys in Evil CTU using vertical monitors, so maybe thereโs something in it.
The wallpaper
What is 3 landscape monitors with 1 portrait monitor?
I have chaotic good
I'm lawful neutral at the office, and true neutral at home!
Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I'm playing games
Lawful neutral for me.
At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes
At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

How do you use the 3rd monitor above at the job?
I do video editing, so I just use the two below for my timeline and media management, and the one on top as a full-screen viewer
CN for those scanned PDFs. What am I gonna do, zoom in like some kind of animal?
i have chaotic neutral right now -- would it be insane to have the middle monitor be vertical then the side be horizontal? i usually use the horizontal for videos or sports but that makes more sense off to the side, then vertical is great for scrolling
I have chaotic neutral setup for quite a while. Like 15 years lol. The vertical started out as a monitor for the Photoshop palettes and this kind of stuff. Then it became the monitor for checking websites in 1024px and nowadays it's mostly terminal windows. I love to have a great scope of output in the viewport.
Chaotic neutral on my work desk, lawful good on the gaming desk. Priorities.
I'm the opposite. I can't have two monitors of the same size, because then it's like they're both primaries in my brain. With the chaotic good arrangement, it's very clear which one runs the games and which one runs YouTube or what have you

Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you're never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.
