4th screen I finally got my 4th screen setup last week. Needed something for those pesky chrome debugger windows :)

Lol, no it's more that I can focus on two screens at a time! Left doc/middle code/right running code/far right debugger

Did I just suggest I have a "far-right debugger"??? - I want to take this opportunity to distance myself from anything far-right lol.

If only we could debug the far-right tendencies in our societies. I'd love that.

May I ask what kind of graphics card and ports you have to address 4 individual monitors?

It's the Mac's internal GFX for the first 3. The "most right" one is driven by a StarTech.com USB GFX card (which can handle 2 4k displays).

Yep - the original plan was for screen 4 to be above my right screen. However I bought the wrong kind of arm and it was too low by about 5cm, so yeah, I know where it would live too if I could buy the right kit next time!

I write code like a psychopath: on a laptop, with no extra monitors.

Single laptop screen crew!

But because of my visual impairment, I could never really work with a multi screen setup comfortably.

the front one is a vortex Pok3r with custom DSA keycaps. The back one is a whitefox again with mostly blank DSA keycaps. I am one of those people with keyboard obsessions.

Keep it short and simple at home ๐ŸŽ‰

As a student currently developing my first mayor web-app as part of my bachelor thesis, i am given the privilege to work at home, using my own setup.

Thank you!

This setup was a long way with many iterations until this point, but now I am really happy with what it has turned out as.

The wall-mounting has three advantages in my case:

  • I can keep my head straight while looking directly at the monitor
  • Cleaning the desk has become easier
  • My pc serves as my tv as well. In front of my desk I got my couch. With the wall mount I can pull the monitor back towards the couch to some extend :)
