Programmers: What size monitors do you guys prefer?

<< < (6/10) > >>

mouser:
What resolution are you running at, deo?

Mizraim:
Now you're going to have to find 4k resolution wallpaper that you like. :)

wraith808:
How does it work for gaming?  (you knew that one was coming...)

tomos:
^ and how about viewing angles?
(so long as they're okay when you look from your 'fixed' sitting position)

Renegade:
Anyone use a rotated monitor in portrait mode for coding?

A bit old but...

Yes. And I love it.

I have 3 monitors on this box. 2 x 24" and a 22". The setup is 24" (landscape) - 24" (portrait) - 22" (landscape).

I keep Visual Studio on a landscape monitor, then tear off a document tab and put that in the portrait monitor. Generally I work with 2 monitors side-by-side for 1 task with the third being for email, surfing, video, Skype, or whatever else.

But portrait is beautiful, especially when you want to see more of your code.

I didn't go for 27" because of space limitations on my desktop and costs. 24" is lots big enough for me (even if I'd rather have 27"), and the limited space with 4 monitors (I have a Mac as well) on my desktop really stops me from having more. I already have about 120 degrees of monitors, and pushing that to 180 degrees would really make things more difficult.
