I’m at true neutral.

    I have four screens from four different manufacturers, with three different sizes, three different resolutions, two different aspect ratios and two different refresh rates.
    Two of these are resurrected from the dead of which one has a high voltage cold cathode driver externally plastered to it’s back (because the internal failed and there was no space inside) and the other one shining from every pore because I “replaced” one cold cathode tube by plastering the “replacement” tube somewhere in the housing of the monitor to fool the driver into thinking all tubes are fine (one was defect, the driver doesn’t work without every tube connected and putting the replacement in the place where it should belong is too much work).
    I am basically the evil necromancer of chaotic evil.

    1. 27 inch, 1440p, 16:9, 144Hz, Asus
    2. 24 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz (driver sticking out), BenQ
    3. 21 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz, Iiyama
    4. 21 inch, 1680x1050p, 16:10, 60Hz, Eizo

    I can provide pictures later today if someone’s interested.
    Edit: Here are the pictures

    True neutral. Only people with incapable OSs need multiple screens rather than having that one screen display what they want. 🙃

      Glad to see another hanging PC!

      It was the only way I could get my monitors connected to my standing desk. Now I only need to figure out if subjecting hard drives to motor vibrations is risky, or if they can handle a bit of shaking when switching between sitting and standing.

    What about using Android Tab or Phones as second monitor?

    Ummmm… how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?

    That’s how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:

    I don’t know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware ʘ‿ʘ

    But otherwise, true neutral.

      You can tell xrandr anything, it doesn’t have to be physically connected. So you could get 3960x1080 virtual screen space for a single vertical HD screen. If you move your mouse to the edge of the screen it will scroll what is visible. I discovered it in my triple monitor setup. I turn off screens I don’t need (they waste like 30W!), but the script I wrote to notify X11 of these changes doesn’t work as reliably as I would like, lol. Also duplicate polybar sometimes, haha.

      Not sure how useful this is, because while the application thinks it has all this screen space available you can’t actually see all of it at once.

            I’m not using it as much as I should be, but it is genuinely a pleasant improvement over sitting all day long. A really expensive chair can do you a lot of good, but nothing beats the mobility of standing. When I read something or watch something I can do some light exercise for my legs, squatting a tiny bit and moving my upper body left and right for example. For a lot of people it can be a good start to moving their body a bit more.

            If you go running every other day you don’t need it, I’ll give you that.

    My setup isn’t featured, but it’s basically neutral good with the laptop below it in the middle.

      I spend hours aligning their bottoms and virtual position so now my three screens transfer the mouse exactly in their vertical middle.

      I also use a tiling WM with tons of workspaces and if I switch workspaces my mouse gets reseted into the middle of the workspace anyway.

    What is neutral good called when the user keeps a large space between the monitors? That’s pretty much all of my coworkers, and it drives me nuts.
