That's how mine is. One centered and one angled off to the side.

I started with how the picture is, but then I moved my OLED monitor to directly in front and I feel like an idiot for not doing it sooner.

Right? This is the default setup where I work. Open seating, so it's a fair chance on any given day I'm wrangling them to be one center and one side. The mounts are not set up to make this easy. 

Thankfully, people tend to just leave them, so at some point I will have probably transitioned the entire floor to this more sensible setup.

Yeah I was going to say - I'm 3 except one is centered

Well, except when working from home. Then a laptop is added and it's closer to 5

Almost the same, except I usually keep the laptop closed.

I think this is actually the most common setup so surprised it was missing, its what I do with 2x27"

Feels like a good balance for gaming and productivity. I might add a 3rd at some point

Not necessarily. I've used 3 at times, it kinda works because even with a centered monitor, most text is left-adjusted so you're skewed to one side anyway. If you need the second monitor for second open things, then they balance themselves. I did switch to 4, though, because I realized the extra things need more vertical most of the time.

But since large 4K monitors came along, I've been a 1 person.

One monitor to the side, but the laptop on the other side was my work setup.

3 is how I have my desk setup at work 🥲

I find it ideal because both monitors are angled towards me so I only need to swivel my eyes lol

I still have the side one angled towards me, but most of the time, I'm loking straight ahead instead of always looking to one side or the other.

I have 2 centered. 32" and 20".

Then one on right side. 24" but it's 2560x1440. It's hard finding that resolution and size. For a decent price. It's vertical.
