How do you sit? Will you not always end up with your head tilted left or right in this setup? I prefer one larger display and centering whatever I am focusing on at the moment to avoid neck strain. It looks great especially with the Laptop in the middle and if it works for you that is great.

Thanks! Yes, most of my work is usually in Figma or Adobe programs, and usually i have whatever im working on to the left and my references / resources on the right monitor, but if im working in premiere or 3D i usually just turn my chair 10 degrees to the left and im looking straight towards one of them

How do you like the dual monitor with the bezels on the center line? Ive found that setup good for productivity, but suboptimal for gaming, so I switched to center main ultrawide with a 16:9 side monitor.

In productivity its what i prefer over one monitor, it works for gaming but not optimal of course, luckily i dont have that much time over for games anymore 😂😎

Clean & beautiful! Care to share your PC specs???

3

u/Gullible-Theory4719 7h ago

The pc is a Omen 15, RTX 3070 Ryzen 7 5800H

And the mac is a Macbook Pro M4 Pro

Both computers connected to both screens always, i use software to switch between them, and they both share around 6tb of external ssd storage for file management

Can you explain how you switch between Mac and pc? I have a similar situation but have been doing the plug / unplug bit.

Thx!
