Most of this year I was using two 1200x1920 panels in portrait, making a 32” 5:4 display (with a gutter like a book). A pretty nice setup.
But now I have a 32” 4k display. The prettier fonts and extra window placement flexibility are nice, and I didn’t really use all the vertical space I had.
- theandrewbailey 5y agoI upgraded my gaming rig's monitors 3 weeks ago, and I'm using the old ones in my home office: 2x 24" 1920x1200 monitors in portrait. The old office monitors had cheap stands and didn't rotate. I can't say that it's a no-brainer upgrade, but I'm OK with it.
- Zachsa999 5y agoDid you find any solutions for tiling windows vertically? Windows 10 definantly does not do this well.
- jmiserez 5y agoFancyZones (part of Microsoft PowerToys) works well for me. I also like the fact that it's first-party, free and open-source: Project page: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys FancyZones docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/powertoys/fancyzones https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/powertoys/fancyzone...
- Zachsa999 5y agoI just downloaded it.. Why does Microsoft not promote this more? I may not need to use Linux now for a while

- daggersandscars 5y agoI use Divvy[1]. It also works on MacOS. I use gTile on Linux. The combination lets me use the same keyboard short cuts (or close enough) on all 3 OSes.
- fanf2 5y agoOn macOS I use hammerspoon to define window positioning keyboard shortcuts. With my 4k monitor I can place windows in a 4x2 grid, or 4 columns (both similar layouts to my two-screen setup), or 3 columns, or left half / right half / middle half (with two narrow columns either side). On Linux I use i3wm, but I have not yet configured it for my 4k setup.
