    At home I’m a true neutral, and at work a combination of neutral good and chaotic neutral. And when I bring my work laptop home I’m lawful neutral.

    Just need to work on neutral evil, then I’ll be all neutral.

    “What turns a man neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?”

    What is it considered when my side monitor is about 10% obscured by my main one because my monitor arm doesn’t open wide enough?

        You say that until you see how poorly the ui fits and you have to run everything windowed if you want to multi task

          I’ve wondered about that. Messing around with window sizes seems mildly annoying. Also, what if you have something that wants to be full screen like a game?

          Or game + guide, or game + discord? I won’t go back to alt-tabbing…

            Windows 11 helps a lot, having the start menu in the center is crucial and you can quickly snap into place with the things at the top, if you really want to you can cut it into three sections and use it as three separate monitors but that voids the entire point of one big display, the experience is like nothing else though at its best I would honestly say it can be as good as the best VR, at its worst well it can be as bad as the worst VR.

      Mine is like this but upside down (2 is a laptop) and with a large gap between the top two. Sort of Mickey mouse head style, but all the same size. I primarily use 2 and 3.

      Probably chaotic evil for these as well, since they didn’t even make the chart.

        Neutral Good here but I would do this if I had my monitors on arms so I could raise them above my open laptop screen; I don’t like having a gap or having the screens blocked by the laptop.

      I have to know what you’re doing with this if it’s not, like, watching security footage. I can see a number of uses but all of them(that I can think of) are productivity based and are the kind of thing where you never really spend long periods of time on any one screen.

        This is my work-from-home setup.

        2 is my laptop opened all the way and sitting in a vertical stand, so the screen is above and a little behind the other monitors, and the laptop camera is top center. I put Teams up there, so I can notice if I’m being messaged.

        1 and 3 are on a dual arm stand. They are where I do my actual work. All kinds of stuff.

        I see a lot of folks using that setup where the upper monitor is playing video, like Netflix or YouTube as background entertainment while doing other stuff on the bottom two, mostly coding/work type stuff.

          That makes sense. I’m tall so my main monitor sits high enough up that my laptop fits underneath which is the same vibe but inverted.

    Chaotic neutral is, unironically, the best for a lot of work related tasks. It takes up less space on a desk and the vertical monitor just makes a lot of sense for reading Teams/Slack/whatever, answer emails, reading documents, etc… I actually picked it up from a friend who uses a vertical curved monitor and he said it was great for coding related work. Don’t skimp on the resolution, though, ‘cause you’ll probably want 1440p to make sure the words are clear. 4k is fine but probably overkill and needlessly expensive.

    When I worked from home I had my personal 34” curved screen in the middle of my desk for AutoCAD and a vertical monitor from work fit perfectly between the main monitor and the edge of the desk. T’was brilliant. And I’m tall so my main screen is high enough up that my laptop fits underneath and I can watch shows and stuff

    Verti-hori for lyyyfe.
