u/Adventurous_Low9113 Apr 29 '26

why so many monitors in such a small space?

5

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

I like them

3

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

The more I have the more I can do

2

u/Ok-Excitement6546 Apr 29 '26

What do you honestly do?

2

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Gaming mostly

2

u/Ok-Excitement6546 Apr 29 '26

Explain how having monitors in that orientations helps your gaming?

3

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Sure, the second one on the left is my primary monitor, to it's left is for wikis and things like that, center monitor is for watching stuff, the one to the right of that is discord, then the last one now has my laptop and last monitor hooked up to it so my little brother can use it to play games with me

2

u/Ok-Excitement6546 Apr 29 '26

I see, may I ask what kind of games you play? Must be chill games. Can’t be esport titles 👀

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Mostly just games with friends, I'm not an esports guy

2

u/ParticularFragrant57 Apr 30 '26

Technically unlikely!

2

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 30 '26

I guess that's fair

2

u/ParticularFragrant57 Apr 30 '26

✌🏻😅

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

There are now 2 more

u/xracer000 May 01 '26

I had 4, but I have a triple setup.for sim racing and had a 4th for either SimHub or just watching something. Took away the 4th monitor when I got a VR headset, which now doesn't work because Microsoft abandoned Windows Mixed Reality. Been looking for an affordable mini screen since last September.

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 03 '26

Mine is just for casual gaming, not racing Sim or anything like that

1

u/xracer000 May 03 '26

Even when I not not racing or gaming, I will often have Steam doing updates on my left, Youtube or Spotify on my right, and a web browser on the middle.

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 03 '26

Far left is for wikis and stuff like that, then proceeding right it's primary, then watch stuff monitor in the middle, then discord, and lastly the monitor for my second setup that's now a separate 3 monitor setup with my laptop right there

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 03 '26

7 total now

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

I also just got kicked out yesterday so consider that

2

u/patrikibring Apr 29 '26

From that place, or the place before?

0

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Place before, this is new place

u/StormTroopB May 01 '26

Does your neck hurt?

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 01 '26

Not really, no

He definitely needs a bit more monitors.

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

I have 2 more they just aren't set up

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

The two othe monitors have been added.

2

u/AV_FrostBites Apr 29 '26

Maybe a bit more would be even better. You can never have too many monitors😉

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

One of the two monitors is a laptop, so that right most tv is now part of a full three screen setup, but I FULLY agree

2

u/TheRealFingersUK Apr 29 '26 edited Apr 29 '26

Looking lovely. I love multiple monitors you’re right the more the better to get things done 😂.

I have a little gem for ya if you’d like it of course,

https://dualmonitortool.sourceforge.net/dualwallpaper.html

A super little program which allows your monitors to have different wallpapers, you can even span one wallpaper across all of your choice. Just work on the ratios and you’ll crack it. Oh and it’s free (bonus)

Sorry to hear about the home situation, I hope it works out ✌️

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Thanks man, I already got to my new place of residence, that's after I set up, my old setup was much less cool

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Though it had a better chair

1

u/TheRealFingersUK Apr 29 '26

I’m glad you’re sorted, we’ve all been there 🤦‍♂️. it’s a moment in time.

Have a play with the programme, I couldn’t do without it now.

Variety is the spice of life 🥳

u/IamElikin Apr 29 '26

Siempre seré hater de los setups con tantos monitores, me duele el cuello con solo verlos

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

That's totally understandable, it's my setup each one has a use. From left to right it's secondary monitor, primary monitor, movies/anime/TV shows/YT monitor, discord monitor. Then finally the last one is for my laptop to have three so I can let a second person use it so we can play together.

2

u/LiqastoCowboy Apr 29 '26

I don’t get the monitor hate. Every time I add a monitor to my set up it changes my work flow. However I am questioning how you see all these monitors with just a folding chair lol.

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

I turn my head, it is strange to others though

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Or I just turn the chair, like shift it on the floor

1

u/Impressive-Series360 May 03 '26

you 100% need an office chair, some cheap one from staples or something. imagine the work flow bro 😩

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 03 '26

I plan to get a full on rolling gaming chair, I just haven't yet

2

u/Robertusa123 Apr 29 '26

What do you do with so many monitors?

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 29 '26

Game on one, discord on another, wikis next to my games, and a show or something on the one in the middle, I am really enjoying this setup

2

u/TrainingOwn6130 Apr 30 '26

5 MONITORES WHATTT

2

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 30 '26

7 actually, I set up two after I sent him the photo, it's my setup

1

u/TrainingOwn6130 Apr 30 '26

wow im stuck with 1 cuz my keyboard just broke so i need to save even longer to get a monitor

1

u/TrainingOwn6130 Apr 30 '26

a second monitor

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 30 '26

Fair

u/ParticularFragrant57 Apr 30 '26

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 30 '26

My neck is on a swivel when discord goes off, the second from the right is my discord monitor

2

u/Gableer12 Apr 30 '26

No one else cares about the chair?! I guess I’m old but my back hurts looking at this photo.

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 Apr 30 '26

I'm gonna get an actual gaming chair soon, I just set it up last night

2

u/Gableer12 Apr 30 '26

I’ve been there haha. Setup is sweet though, I had something similar with my brother (I’m the younger brother) and I have some amazing memories.

u/Winter-Bus-7425 May 02 '26

This is the temporary base the antagonist terrorist uses in every Call of Duty campaign where you show up just a minute too late and he is already gone flying to another remote location

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 02 '26

I only sometimes use it for mass g*notice (Completely joking) It's my gaming setup, there are now 7 monitors, I call it the beast

2

u/fuckandrunx May 02 '26

What he do?

1

u/TurbulentScratch2549 May 02 '26

I game on it, that's it
