In my experience, an adjustable hydraulic mount is the the way to go. I move my monitors ALL the time, so it’s nice to move them closer, further, higher, lower, or even to different orientations on a whim based on what I’m doing, how I’m sitting, or how well I need to see the screen, all of which vary wildly, and the fact the it’s one to two clamps at the back of my desk maximizes desk space, which is super necessary since my desk isn’t very deep. I’ve also been working on monitors of different sizes up until a month or two ago: a 720p smaller display is actually REALLY good for text chats like teams, discord, twitch chat, or if you have a second window of code.

[@omnipossum92]

This is what I'm thinking. What brand of mount do you use? It seems lately you can get a hydraulic mount for quite cheap nowadays but do you think they're up to scratch or are the more expensive ones worth it?

[@ChrisKingMusic]

Thats exactly how I have my monitors because they are not the same model. One of them is 4:3 and one is the usual 16:9

[@FractalPrism.]

i have 3 of the same monitor but one ended up dedicated to ps4/switch with the other two side by side with one centered, the other off to the right, just like in this vid. i tried 3 side by side by side, and it was great when my productivity was able to make use of it, but it just made me want a single super-ultrawide to delete the bezels.

[@RemusSimon]

Problem is, what do you do if you have a pair of speakers? In this setup, you usually sit in front of the main monitor so naturally, close to one of the speakers. It is today I had this setup and still struggling to find a good solution.

[@Dylan-tf8tg]

@Viktor Kaljevic 1:17

[@WeeeWeeeification]

I personally think that in most cases the side by side with one monitor dead center and the other off to the side is best. For streamers it allows them to view their chat and adjust their recording settings on the monitor to the side and to have whatever game/software they're streaming on the main monitor, for programmers it would be more natural for them to look at a horizontal monitor when writing their code and then they can have the main monitor with whatever they're creating on the main one and for people doing graphic design they could have reference images off to one side whilst they keep the thing they're creating on the main monitor so they can keep what they're doing as their focal point. For general use there's not usually too much reason for dual monitors but such a setup would be good for watching videos and doing other things at the same time or even watching a video tutorial of something and following along or probably the most likely thing would be to have a game on one monitor and then having discord or steam on the other.

[@GermanPerfectionist]

I have two HP 24es monitors, and I have them set up side by side, both at a slight angle. Yes, you are never looking entirely straight (because that's where the bezel is), but I don't have any problems with that. Also, you can move your keyboard and work entirely on one monitor. For me this setup works best, and I probably couldn't get used to anything else...

[@HelloDavid]

Yeah. That makes sense. I used to work with that same setup before. And I agree it works really well smaller display since you're not turning your head as much compared with these 27" displays. Always good to test these setups out yourself to find the perfect one for your needs.

[@l4mb021]

How is 2 24" side by side? Does it feel big enough or would 2 27" be a better option?

[@gossumx]

I've been using 3 of the 27" monitors for close to a decade now. I swore by them. Recently, for work, I have had to travel a lot for the past few months, with a laptop as my main display and smaller monitors that were easier to carry around and set up in my hotel rooms. I'm convinced, aside from for gaming or other sensory-oriented purposes, triple 27" monitors are a scam. I've been wrong all these years. I'm finding that having a 15" laptop monitor and two 23" monitors is far superior to the wrap-around effect I was getting with 3 27". Honestly, I could probably be even happier if I reduced the 2 23" monitors to 19" for working. I have these set up in a "Y" configuration, with the two 23" monitors elevated side by side, and the main laptop display between them on the desk. The true win here is 2 fold. First, I don't have to shift my head or eyes very far to travel between the monitors. I find that I use them all, instead of finding myself on one end of the monitor railway or the other. The second benefit is similar, and it's that my mouse doesn't have to travel as far either. By having them all bunched together as close to a "circle" as possible, I'm using them much more seamlessly. Also, by having the smaller laptop on the desk, I get the benefit of having the close-by monitor without taking up too much desk space since I would have a keyboard there anyway. If you're playing counterstrike and you want all of the peripheral vision, go for the bigger monitors. Sure. But if productivity is your end-game, size isn't all that matters. I also like this 3-monitor setup more than 1 big monitor because, let's be honest, most programs and operating systems are designed to take up your whole screen. Windows has the feature where you can stick stuff to sides, sure... but that's really just a novelty compared to the functionality of different screens.

[@DarkSoulpony]

0:14 well that's my layout XD

[@ssfalk41]

I've found that my favorite setup is the dual stack for my desktop. Place the bottom monitor as you would normally, then the second monitor naturally falls into a nice secondary position. Great for writing college papers and a photography workflow. If I'm using a laptop I like having a monitor in portrait orientation for documents, email, music, and Lightroom in a pinch.

[@benweeks1489]

I've found the dual side by side works for me. What I've done is offset the dual monitor arm slightly that holds both 24 inch monitors at home. As for a triple display setup, I'm using dual 27s on top and a 22 underneath. It works quite well FOR ME. I'd say that one may have to try a few different setups to find what works best FOR THEM with their space/hardware.

[@kassem277]

Can you share a link to the background you have in this video please? Looks solid. Thanks!

[@NyteMyre]

I've had 3 monitors for a long while now, and i tried various combinations. The first, just all side by side, i noticed that I hardly ever used the "left" monitor. It felt really unnatural for some reason. I had 2 monitors before that with my 2nd screen offcenter to the right. Later, when i bought a desk-riser so my main ultrawide could be at eye-level (it wasn't height adjustable), my monitors couldnt all fit on it, so i tried putting the 2 monitors on the sides in portrait. I actually really liked that for long websites, articles and documents. But I seriously missed having a 2nd landscape monitor. And i still wasn't really using my LEFT monitor. Now i have moved my left monitor stacked on the ultrawide and it's a setup i've really got comfortable with. It may not be symmetrical, but it's really useful. Especially with the work-from-home situation where i do a lot of video calls and just put that screen on the top monitor while I work on my main monitor.

[@WilliamCWayne]

Back in 2008-2010 I used a triple monitor setup at work. I gave up on WFH because I was young and spent half my time playing games, so I brought my 27" Dell monitor to work - an Ultrasharp 2707WFP. This is a sexy beast with brushed aluminum bezels, a beautiful rear, a perfectly tuned armature, and a wide, heavy glass base with a smokey translucent film applied to the bottom to make it look like smoked glass. It's quite dated by today's standards in efficiency and color accuracy though, but few monitors I've seen are quite as attractive. The resolution of this monitor is 1920x1200, and just happened to have the exact same pixel density as the 19" monitors work supplied me with - that is, the pixels and their pitch were *exactly* the same size. This means that the mouse transitions perfectly at both the tops and bottoms of the screen when properly setup. Wallpapers were also easier to make perfect, so I didn't have to math anything to scale certain parts of the image to make a continuous image - I only had to remove the sections of the image that corresponded to where the bezels were located, and everything was perfect. The resolution on the smaller monitors was 1280x720, so I set up my large monitor in the middle, with the smaller monitors in portrait mode flanking each side of the primary monitor. I found this to be an idea setup at the time, because I had a massive space in the middle (massive for the time) with two narrow "utility" monitors flanking it for reading documents, or placing tool windows from Visual Studio on, to further increase space for development. I'm still using that 27" monitor, and picked up its twin from eBay for dirt cheap (but only because I already had one), so now I'm rocking two of these since WFH is now mandatory and I'm (mostly) mature enough to not play games when I should be working. I have them in the configuration the video suggested - one front and center and the other canted off to the side on the right. My development work takes place on the primary monitor, and secondary things like VMs and reference materials usually go on the right monitor. My company laptop is setup on the left, and I use Mouse Without Borders to control both machines when they're connected to the same network, and I have a simple USB KVM for when the laptop is logged in to the VPN (and therefore, MWB can't connect). Having two of these things is pretty incredible, but in some ways, the smaller side monitors were better. For one, a sideways glance left or right was enough to see the entire smaller monitor. To turn my attention to the second 27", I have to completely shift my head, body, and focus. If my laptop was not opened on the left, there would be a large amount of wasted space. I can't imagine having a third 27" monitor there. That might actually be too much. For that reason, I'm planning on replacing these monitors with a single 5120x1440 1000R 49" ultrawide in early 2021. The total physical real estate is approximately the same as the two 27" monitors, but I could center on the area where the bezels are for me now and use a simple app to partition the screen into logical monitors.

[@rangersmith4652]

Ultrawide displays are ideal for over/under setups. At one of my stations, I have two 2560x1080 over 3440x1440 stacks, on separate PCs. Excellent for getting things done, and looks good, too. My main gaming setup uses a 32" 4K front and center and 24" 1440p in portrait mode to the left, mostly with browser tabs that support my game play.

[@isaks3243]

I run a dual monitor setup and I have my secondary display to my left cause it feels more natural for me and doesn't take up space for my mouse pad.

[@xCraziiPanda]

I like the stacked setup. Saves so much space on your desk for that minimalist look.

[@b25671]

I just set up my 2 16:9 monitors in a 1vertical 1horizontal setup. ... it's not about reading more code vertically ... it's about not creating a whiplash having these 2 monitors in a horizontal setup (which I've had for +10 years). ... and so reducing horizontal movement of your head and eyes. I'm glad I've discovered the 1v + 1h ... now I finally have a center screen again. Of course... a 1x 21:9 or wider monitor is probably better ... but at the moment don't want to pay for one. Also the use of fancy-zones is crucial to me ... I've got many overlapping zones derived from the default 16:9 and 4:3 ratio's. ... very handy Thanks for the video!

[@alexisherbert687]

IMO the best way its an ultrawide in the middle, a 16:9 to one side and one vertical to the other

[@3xand3r49]

Thus is very informative. Personally im one of those dual profile setups. I chose that setup when i was working in an office job and still prefer it now that im working elsewhere. My reason for originally trying it was i was imputting data from spread sheets all day and it was the only way i could logically have everything i needed on my 2 screens. I had alot of stuff that had to stay opened even when not in use or else id have to reboot it every time which wasted time when on call with customers.

[@JustinTHuffman]

I'm trying out the horizontally centered, vertical side monitor configuration right now. One issue with vertical is that I have to look too low and too high for the bottom and top of the screen; however, it IS a nice way to code. I keep reference centered horizontally and my IDE on the vertical as most coders, myself included, spend more time on research than actually writing lines.

[@andrewalberti9121]

Desk 50 cm deep + 27" 1440p straight ahead + an angled 20" 4:3 format on the side, both of them hanged or with a desk support arm, in order to maximise space. This configuration is the sweet spot for ergonomics and productivity.

[@elemex9057]

I mostly use my Pc for gaming, and personally I like the version where one is in front of you and one turned to you on the side. With that you can focus on your Game on the main monitor but you can still easy do things like changing music or being on discord on the side one.,

[@Greg.Newton13]

I have 2x27" monitors, and find that having the laptop on the stand in the middle, and the two screens angled in slightly works for me. I have my email open in the middle, chrome / web based stuff open on the right screen, and excel / PPT / app based etc open on the left. This allows me to turn slightly and focus on the job in hand. If I'm multi tasking, the angles are slight, that head movement is minimum.

[@mrln.bllmnn]

I have one 31,5" 1440p monitor as my main directly in front of me and two 24" 1080p monitors in portrait left and right to my main. Between my main and my right monitor there's also my camera so I get a better view from my camera than with it over my main or on the very right/left. The portrait monitors mostly take two windows stacked, by this I get a great overview over all my applications.

After years of messing around with different options, I think I might be close to the perfect setup now I'm now using a single 28" UHD display to the front, with 16" laptop off to the lower right, and a ipad below for Spotify, KZbin, slack, etc. Any day to day stuff happens here. For coding, I head to a completely different room, all black table, dark wood walls, low lights, silent keyboard with blank caps. Single 27" monitor, and a dedicated Mac Studio. All apps deleted except for iterm .. no web browser even. No slack, no discord, no stack overflow, no phone, no clock on the wall. Just neovim and a compiler, a single monitor, and a space to think. Literally zero distractions. If I get a 4 hour session done in the isolation room, I can get weeks worth of coding done.

[@LuisFelipe-pq9lr]

For me the 2 best options are: 1. Only one curve ultrawide, if you use power toys fancy zones you can have one (21:9), two (10.5:9) or three (7:9) monitor or just configure it on how you want, if you want 10 zones you can, in my opinion thats a really good option its cheaper, use less space and adapt for your setup 2. 1:20 thats the one I use, on my left I have my 15.6 laptop and on the front a 32 TV, I am learning game develop and programing from distance learning so I put my class on the left and write in the front, my Nintendo Switch is connect to my tv so when I am playing I have on my left music or tutorials, its good for playing on pc too and watch a movie while working, its great if you have a laptop, the first option I mentioned works good with laptop too you just use it in a dock

[@xvnbm]

1:16 I have this now and I think this is the best option for me. Although, I would like to clear up more desk space by lifting the second monitor up, because the usage is mostly watching video when I have died in the game and waiting for the round to finish or just glancing some less important stuff. It is off most of the time now, because I don't game that often, so it would be out of my way. I think leaning back while watching would be more ergonomic than turning my head right. Of course I can just turn with my chair and I do that sometimes. I am going to try to keep my second monitor on right, but rise it with monitor arm. That could be one option, but it must be quite up so that I can fit my speaker under it. My second monitor is just 24" while my main monitor is 32". I like this option, because most of the video content I watch is only 1080p, which doesn't look as nice on my 32" monitor. I am struggling with getting a good monitor arm for this setup, because there is so little info about them online. Your videos are probably the best ones I've found. I will probably buy two separate arms and go with more flexible one with my main monitor and tall monitor arm with no constant height adjustment for my second monitor.

The problem with horizontal setup with 1 monitor landscape 1 vertical is the vertical one will be too tall and narrow for 16:9 or wider monitors.

i like the setup of one above another i have a 32 inch 4k monitor on top and a 27 inch 1080p one on the bottom

[@squeekerradio9523]

I stream alot so I run the lg 29" ultrawide as a main and then a dell 24" in portrait mode, works great for chat and say spotify or streamlabs ro run on the secondary monitor.

[@JKLionheart]

Great video David! Curious: what did you use to animate the web graphs to show the benefits between each setup

[@charlieurug86]

As a programmer, doing code reviews on a vertical monitor is kind of awesome

[@calebrasak6322]

I think an ultra wide and a small vertical display off to the left is ideal. As looking at web content on an ultra wide is a little strange.

[@MrBuurt]

my new main monitor is so big i needed to put my second to the far right because there is no space left on my desk, so i came here to see if other people are having them far on the right :D

[@douglas_strey]

OMG! Where can I find this wallpaper? I loved it!

[@asintado3985]

use vrtical monitor if you a streamer use dual off angle display if you like ultra wide use 1off angle display and centered display in front if you are casual

[@jacobdrj101]

I find that if you must have your displays in a horizontal line, then odd numbers only: 1:3:5... I don't want a bezel in my main default view. At work I have a large 27" screen in the center, flanked by 2 smaller 24" screens on each side. Ideally, All 3 screens would either be the same size/resolution, or at least the same scaled size, versus resolution. I do keep the display of my laptop (which drives the other 3 screens) off to the side for low priority stuff, but it isn't ideal. Even numbered screens are just not comfortable ...

[@bariumlanthanum6298]

those are some really nice monitor stands

[@mmdafiq]

the best setup for me is, put your second monitor vertically on the left then put your PC case (only for cases with glass) in right with same angle as the second monitor. its cool! it feels like have 3 monitor setup, but in the right it only your PC view pic of mine ibb.co/hC3q721 ( i know its messy, im still working for it because i just moving out to the new place)

[@stephaniemolina5046]

This was very helpful! Any recommendations on best arm setups for dual monitors for side to side? I do photography edits and creator of employee handbooks. I am thinking of 22' or 24' what do you suggest?

[@nanekb4825]

Hey love the video! What about an ultrawide 35" and a 'normal' 24" monitor? but no stack setup.

[@Amocles]

I like that stack set up where there's one on the bottom One solution I would use is just ditch the monitor and use my touch screen laptop

[@GraceTheTDI]

The best if you have the money is three next to each OTHER and one on top tilted toward you. I dont have the money for this since I only have 1 monitor but it seems like the best

[@weho_brian]

1st display actual work, 2nd display = email, teams, spotify, running server side code, background processing

[@joecrak249]

Great vid I enjoyed the content btw what desk are you using where can I buy it

[@corbingrieves4505]

What about a monitor setup where the monitors are behind you and each display is reflected to the front of you with mirrors?

[@Tabascoblade]

How do you feel about setting up multiple ultrawide and ultracurved screens going over your head so you can game and look up at the sky

[@xelm_]

really loving the music. cool video too.

[@ErsinBactisa]

Hi! Can you give a link to the wallpaper, please? I love it!

[@spacemanjupiter]

Mine is set up exactly like 1:20 Seems to be the most comfortable

[@shadowknight7114]

I have a 27’ monitor in front and a 19’ tv stacked just to see like ids and references when gaming

[@pieroroccaysj]

David I enjoy your videos. You're very thoughtful. For a 27" monitor straight ahead with a 27" to the right or left angled in portrait mode, is that possible with a mount or does one need to use the built in stand for at least one of the monitors?

[@pieroroccaysj]

or two separate mounts?

[@Rekke_yt]

@@pieroroccaysj Two single monitor arms.

[@KushAidMan]

How about a 50" TV with a bunch of monitors around the perimeter
