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.
- 27 inch, 1440p, 16:9, 144Hz, Asus
- 24 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz (driver sticking out), BenQ
- 21 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz, Iiyama
- 21 inch, 1680x1050p, 16:10, 60Hz, Eizo
I can provide pictures later today if someone's interested.
Edit: Here are the pictures
Oooh yes I too have 3 different monitors of different makes and sizes!
I'd swap lawful evil and neutral evil.
I'm on the third Z axis of this chart
two screens same size to the front, laptop on a riser to my left, at a right angle, third, smaller screen to the left of that connected to a second laptop
I'm a combination of neutral good and lawful neutral. 2 identical monitors + laptop.
Chaotic good but smaller monitor is on the left, only because I had one shitty monitor I got on sale right out of high school and eventually bought a much nicer but slightly smaller one later.
I suppose I'm technically true neutral since I have a vertical monitor on one side and my laptop on the other.
Gaming setup is true neutral Work from home setup is lawful neutral Office setup is chaotic evil
I guess I'm chaotic neutral. I've never had enough money to buy two of the same monitor. All of my stuff is stuff I got either for free from school or for extremely cheap.
Chaotic neutral isn't that bad when you're doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.
I've been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.
Chaotic good but I REALLY vibe with that chaotic evil
Chaotic neutral vibin with stream on the right and game on front
Honestly, these days I just work directly on my laptop. Get to use touchpad gestures which is nice, grilling my hands under CPU load maybe less nice.
It's usually enough to just alt+tab between my IDE and browser, so my workflow hasn't suffered much.
Chaotic neutrals wya?! Especially when I was using a Mac for work with ShiftIt
I’m pretty sure I’m Chaotic Evil with 2x 1920x1200, 2x 1024x1200, a 1920x1080 and one 1366x768 but I don’t run any vertical anymore, so maybe not?
Chaotic good. I got an older smaller 720p monitor as second. Hey if it works.
Same. And I fixed the 720p with a resistor kit a few years ago when it fritzed out. Some terminal fonts look great on those chunky pixels.
All of these are good and sometimes necessary except the bottom-right.
I'm at Chaotic Neutral, but my sim racing rig is Lawful Evil, so combined I guess it becomes Chaotic Evil.
And I love it.
So, Lawful Neutral is just broke? Hunh... (Counts on fingers: druids, monks, cloistered scholars...) Yeah, that tracks.
Also, ofc I'm Chaotic Neutral. Pfft. I blame Elite Dangerous, as I was once Neutral Good, but then discovered what the game was like on an Index, and then there was no reason for the monitors to start that way anymore. 🤷🏼♂️
Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.
One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.
I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.
Once I got a widescreen monitor, I finally ditched the rest and only use my laptop as the extra screen. So lawful neutral but set up like lawful evil but lower.
CN for those scanned PDFs. What am I gonna do, zoom in like some kind of animal?
Lawful Good, but they're all different sizes. So.. Chaotic Good? Chaotic Evil? Who knows.
Chaotic Evil is that stupid hacking computer in Swordfish.
I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD
Hey my old monitor setup isn't here.
Main display is normal with a laptop underneath, a vertical display to the left with a laptop display on the bottom under the first monitor
I'm off the chart. I have 2 mismatched monitors - a 27" and 34", and the 34 one is an ultrawide. It's wider than the other, but their bezels still line up.
Chaotic neutral except i have a vertical one on each side like a big H. I do a lot of document writing
