I've got three monitors - two at 1280x1024 and one at 1366x768 - running on my workstation and there are times I wish they were bigger or I had a fourth.
The idea of only being able to look at one application at a time - and of not having a dead-easy and intuitive way to switch between them - seems like an utterly asinine way to screw up a productive workflow for the mere sake of fashion.
- maqr 14y agoI do pretty much the opposite of you. I only ever use one monitor, but have the highest resolution display I can get. I'm that guy with the new 15" MBP set to 2880x1800. The way I look at it, my eyes can only be on one screen at a time, and my fingers can juggle around the windows faster than I could physically focus on another monitor.
- nicholassmith 14y agoSame, I have one bigish monitor (but not too big) and plug my laptop into that, which I then throw all the stuff I'm not interested in (Spotify, IM, IRC etc) on so I can check it if I need it, then one big ol' monitor for what I'm interested in. I've done double and triple monitors and it kills my productivity and gives me neck ache.
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoHeh. As I get older, the inconvenience of having to move my head around compares ever more favourably with the inconvenience of having to struggle to see what I'm looking at. :)
