Post your workspace/workarea/job sites :D

Its a Dell Ultrasharp (2913wm) Panaromic 29in LCD. I love it

Great for those who work from laptops only supporting a single external monitor.

Need four more for this:

I know you posted a long time ago but I'm looking at setting up something like this. What monitors do you have? What brakets are you using?

There's a 2x 27" HP ZR2740w, and 2x 24" Dell U2412M (the ones in portrait mode).

I don't remember where the mounts are from, but I can tell that the HP's share one bigger mount that can hold up 2, and the Dells both have one smaller that is only designed to hold one monitor.

Small note if you're planning to do this: make sure your desk can hold the weight of the mounts, I had to add some piece of glass in between the mount and the desk (both sides, underneath and at the top) - because the desk couldn't handle the weight and the screens collapsed Damn you IKEA.

That's pretty hawt @MannDude —  at least for a gaming station

My workspace is so simple there's no point in showing it off. Perhaps when I get a new desk. Quite happy with my MX279H, although it is a little too small for my taste: but design-wise its simply superb.

Thank you so much. Both of those monitors are ones I am looking at. How do you find they preform?

My desk is strong, I've had 3 people sit on the front (non supported side) and it didn't even warp I'm not worried about weight.


Oh, also do you run multiple graphics cards?

Meh, gimme my SyncMaster 226BW's any day of the week - love these beasts!

I can't even fathom how someone would use this setup in work world.  Purely immersive gaming setup, right?

I would imagine that is predominately gaming rig. I can't imagine doing actual work on it. I can, however, imagine how fun it'd be to have a racing or flying simulator on that beast.

I often look at thos types of setups and think, no..... the black lines would annoy the shit out of me.

I wonder if you get to a point where by you don't even notice the edges any more.

I would rather just pay for something like this:

Edge to edge displays rock, but a curved display like that @AnthonySmith would be rawwwking.

Issue I have with all the multiple displays is the size and ratios.   Start running 27's and bigger and talking about monitors most of the width of a human. Two of them side by side horizontally is neck panning and eye stress.

Going high res density is just more strain.

Tossing the displays on side is a bit of a hack fix, but ratio still blah.

Unsure why displays are kind of stuck in place development wise.  Innovation to retail available seems to have stopped with perfecting next general super res that is usable.

That's my desk. 2x 24" IPS widescreens.

Just another Friday at the anyNode NOC... bit messy right now.

 

[vRozenSch00n]

bit messy right now.

But it has nice logo on the wall 

 

[drmike]

Bit messy... hahaha.  Somewhere under my stuff there is actually a desk. and I like cords in crazy heaps, old school, they work better.

Folks here must have house keeping in their offices.

They're excellent - the colors are good and the viewing angle is as good as it gets.

IIRC that was run by a Radeon 7770 that was driving 3 screens, then integrated GPU handling the last one. Shitty solution - when I switched to Linux I couldn't do that anymore and just switched to 3 screens. However, there are cards that can push to 4+ monitors at once. Dual cards is a good option too, if you have another PCIe slot on your motherboard.

Is that a bed to the left?

Update.

Working on creating a hacker space for some local cons and just tech gatherings. Ideas welcomed. (currently planning to load the wall up with monitors and popular cheat-sheets).

Just need to find a decent yet cool conference type table and chairs. Would love to create something like C-BASE.
