I've got a griffin laptop stand [1] and a cheap AOC 22inch monitor which I boost up with a couple of phone books. Would like a thunderbolt display, but the lack of vertical adjustment is a bit off-putting. May get one of those dell 27 inch IPS displays next time they discount them as I really do need a better 2nd monitor.
I've been working like this for ~3 years now but have recently been getting neck pain, this was the motivator for buying the stand. Having an ergonomic viewing angle that doesn't make you tilt your neck too much is a must for making this work.

- diminoten 13y agoThis is exactly how I've been working for the past 18 months or so, and it's just fine. In our new offices however, we have a ton of these little breakout rooms which hold 2 or 3 people at most and are equipped with large screen televisions. I've been finding that if I hole up in one of those, connect my laptop to the monitor, and move my terminal window onto the television, I'm able to fit two huge pagefuls of vim, and I'm quite happy with it. At home I've been using my Macbook with my Linux machine, connected through the mouse/keyboard sharing app Synergy, found here: http://synergy-foss.org/ http://synergy-foss.org/
- circa 13y agoyes synergy is great. I use it between my windows/Mac setup.
