Pics?! I would love to see this setup. I am so jelly. I've just got a single 32inch 4k dell and a U2719DC on the right.


Ok, here is a picture [0] but don't make fun of my LEDs lol. It's one of the few pictures I have of a semi-clean desk so I'm going to run with it.

EDIT: Because I forgot to mention and my above post isn't editable: My 3 2K monitors are all 27" and my 1080p is 24"


That definitely looks cool - including your LEDs. Not sure I would want to work in that configuration (my neck would get hurt), but it definitely looks great :)

Thank you!

Up and down issues or side to side? I tried all 3 2K monitors in landscape when I first got them but that was way too much side to side movement to get to the edges of the far left/right screen so I begrudgingly switched them to portrait. I had always thought portrait mode was silly for a monitor but I absolutely love it now and I'm super happy with the setup. I don't have to move my head very much at all to scan across my setup and normally I am pretty focused on just 2 monitors (center for Chrome and right for IDEA) so there isn't a ton of movement. As for up/down movement I really only ever move my head to look at the top 1080p screen which is fine since I don't use it regularly.


For me it is up and down, I try to limit the vertical head movement and wouldn't want to look high up. I am using up to 3 screens horizontally, that is quite fine. Though I am using mostly the "middle" display and put less used stuff on the other screens (mail, chats, reference documentation)


Very nice setup
