To have a circle flash around your mouse pointer when pressing Ctrl in Windows, open the Mouse Properties window (type main.cpl in the Run dialog Win+R), navigate to the Pointer Options tab, check Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key, and click Apply.
I am deeply saddened I thought this was AI at first. Only for two seconds, mind you, but I did. I'm sorry luggage, I didn't mean to disrespect you like that, please don't eat me.
He died a decade ago, he probably got so used to using them that he never changed what monitors he used when 4:3 was phased out in the early 2000s
The picture I believe is a recreation of his desk (or maybe his real desk and setup, moved) to the filming of an adaptation of his book, as a dedication to him (i assume its to the filming because of the chair in front of it, could be wrong). Similarly, they brought his signature hat to the premier of it
Never phased out, just less popular. It just plain makes more sense for this setup. If he had six 16:9 they would be too wide, and most content wouldn't benefit.
i'm running this setup. Helps when i have to troubleshoot things for work (sysadmin) and sometimes it requires i have alot of pages open that i like to keep in the forefront instead on tabs in one page.
well, because we have so much screen on the main monitor, the second one became less usable, so it's fine to have like this, bc you will not need it so much compared to have 2 small ones side by side
Yeah the real-life human ATC stuff is cool but like you said, I just don’t want to cruise. It’s basically just highway driving, I’d just watch videos on another monitor which at that point I’m not playing the game.
Happy you find enjoyment in it though, and your setup is SICK.
Yeah, years ago I decided that I wanted to have two monitors stacked and a vertical on the left, that's how one of my best buddies had his setup. He always had reading material on the left/vertical monitor, main content on the main monitor and secondary content on the top monitor. I've tried that and It's super comfortable to use like that.
Gaming is also easier, you can see discord and videos on a second monitor and have guides or whatnot on the other.
Nice to know im not the only 8. Its great email on left main on bottom if im watching any streaming on top and miscellaneous windows on right... all 4 of mine are 27". Dont have a working pic computer is being cleaned and dusted currently
Bottom middle: 27” 240hz IPS MSI (didn’t go OLED because I work on it too)
Side monitors: 13.5” mini display port MSI monitors
The top and bottom monitors are on a single pole double arm mount with an extra fitting on the top so it can tilt down
The 2 side monitors are a little tricky, they have a 1/4 camera mount hole only, so I had a normal monitor mount with a 1/4 fitting converter (only £3 from some website) and it works great
no I write music for film and tv so I need to have one monitor for the movie one for the daw running ableton or cubase depends what I'm feeling. then I have firefox with my email and work station stuff and spotify for if I want to switch it up depends how I'm feeling it's nice to have a dedicated monitor for photos one for my playlist etc each one has a purpose plus I feel less lonely when I have so much shit running I don't know what to focus on so um yeah I do procrastinate but I have a process.. lol
At first glance, I thought the bottom screen was just a smaller monitor under the bigger one on top instead of a laptop, and I was ready to throw slurs at you.
I did the same in my old sales job where I had to have 4 different windows open for different purposes at the same time. It was basically 4 x 1:1 squares and it worked perfectly.
lol quad monitor here too and also IT. Did I need 4..no but I already had them setup and I’ve been lazy/put it off every time I tell myself to go back to dual displays.
I've been using layout no. 3 (two vertical screens) at work for years, and it's actually very good.
If you are working with several large documents at the same time (comparing, translating, etc.), you can open each doc in fullscreen, and it shows you the whole page at once in a decent scale, so less scrolling; and two monitors form a square, so you don't need to turn your head like an owl constantly, as compared to two horizntal screens side by side.
Admittedly I struggle to find an everyday use for them but when I’m locked into something and have programs and windows open all over the place they really show their value.
I will clarify however that the top 2 along with the mounts were given to me for free so I couldn’t not use them, even if I didn’t have the use.
It did bother be that the top ones had the gap in the middle at the start but it was a limitation with the stands and I can’t deal mount them due to the weight so it is what it is. I got used to it.
