      I love that this is where we’re at - that a single handheld computer can do it all. We’re in the middle of a move and I packed up my entertainment center, short of the TV and Chromecast - so a few weeks ago I used my mobile dock to play my Steamdeck on the TV and it was excellent. Love the versatility of that thing - just wish I had the OLED version, but guess I can hold out for the sequel for now.

    Just a single 49" 32:9 ultra wide - effectively 2x 1440p 27" monitors side by side. It’s a MASSIVE improvement over having two bezels lined up straight ahead and always having my head turned to one side or the other, or having my desk set up asymmetrically with a single monitor head on and one off to the side.

    Samsung G95SC - OLED, 5120x1440p, 240hz, 1800R curve

    It’s rare I need two full 16:9 windows side by side - so for work, 90% of the time I’ve got a 16:9 frame centered, and extra content on the sides (outlook and teams for instance). Window snapping via Microsoft Powertoys - Fancyzones makes this so dead simple, so it’s a quick keystroke to change the snapping zones and then I can do 2 windows side by side when I need it, 2 side by side+my teams, or 3 side by side.

    And for play, let me tell you - games and anamorphic films look SO GOOD on this thing. Absolutely LOVE this monitor.

      I used to use a 49" ultrawide too; and let me tell you, with a window manager they are so fucking nice (with a standard desktop like windows; kde or gnome, I hated having to move my mouse that much)

        Well it certainly comes highly recommended from me! Never pay full price for it - it’s constantly on sale, and it’s cheaper now than the best sale price I could find a year ago - at $1100 currently. If you find it cheaper than that, you’re in really good shape.

        They do have much cheaper versions with the same screen size that are not OLED - but I think it is worth holding out and saving for this one personally.

    1 x 27", 1440p, OLED, 240 Hz gaming monitor. It’s all I need because I have a proper window manager (i3wm).

    Single 27" 180hz mini-led which will eventually get swapped for an OLED (waiting until I have more space so I can go back to a single 42" 16:9) Also a 14" secondary display that gets moved between my desk and bedside Pi for Kodi. Everything is offset due to a wall next to my chair, I can’t sit any farther to the right lol.

        the monitors are on independent monitor arms (I usually have them together like a big ultra wide), and the OLED is connected on a TV stand next to the desk. I use the OLED from the couch, but I can see it from the desk, too.

          I use the OLED from the couch

          That makes sense - at first I pictured it as the primary monitor and the issue with that is usually the PPI of TVs can really struggle up close with text and such, but being able to throw content over to it and sit back on the couch seems like a SOLID strat.

            yeah it’s great, all the single monitor things that are mentioned are true, it’s a workflow. But when I work from home I’m usually on a couple more screens (a macbook and an iPad) so it’s helpful to have the flexibility

    A 27" LG 1920x1080 LCD with a 3" vertical gouge in one side and a wrinkly backlight diffuser sheet. To the left, a 22" LCD of some sort, and further left, the 15" LCD of the ten+ year old Toshiba laptop that’s running the show.

    But I’m lazy and mostly just use a 17" FHD laptop to Rustdesk into the Toshiba from the lounge.

    32" with 27" on the side.

    Barely using the 2nd monitor.

    Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).

    I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.

    Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.

    Currently just one 27" 1440p 180Hz IPS, eventually I hope to add an OLED as my primary display and put the current one off to the side in portrait

      This is the way. LG OLEDs make great gaming displays. Using a 65" LG C1 myself. I love computing from the couch; mouse on armrest, keyboard in lap.

      (That said, I wish 120" OLEDs were affordable cause I prefer a theater experience. I used to be into projectors but once you go true black, you don’t go back. Plus they generate too much heat and you eventually have to replace the bulb.)
