Ask HN: How many screens do you usually work with?

1•vpaulus•1h ago
In my programming team, it’s pretty common to use two monitors (sometimes one is turned vertical) along with a laptop as a third screen.

But I usually stick to just one screen and switch between them using keyboard shortcuts or hot corners instead.

What about you? What do you prefer, and why?

One screen per computer, but two computers total. One computer is on the internet, the other isn't, for security reasons.
lordkrandel•55m ago
One big screen, one fullscreen window at a time. Browser, terminal, discord, gimp, thunderbird and spotify in different workspaces, and shortcuts to switch between them on i3. I do feel the need to reduce visual clutter on what I'm focusing on. Heck, I even use UBlock to remove bloat from the Github web UI

Small startup. I don't use a laptop. I prefer work/home separation, so I use a workstation, and I'm in the office 5 days a week. I have three screens attached to my PC. A main 27" (slightly curved) screen in the middle, horizontally, and two 24" screens turned vertically, on each side. I also use a tiling WM for managing desktops and windows. I have arrived at this setup, that I really enjoy using, because I have a lot of screen real-estate, but I don't really need to rotate my head much, just glance a little to one side or another. Tiling WMs also allow you to create muscle memory for where each one of your tools is, and you can get there instantly, rather than having to cycle through everything all the time.

At work office; three 1080p screens+laptop. Allows me to keep 6 browser windows+outlook/teams visible,or 4 browsers+vscode+outlook/teams.At my home office; a single 4k and laptop. Same at home.

Neither combos are perfect. Especially whenever I undock for a meeting or move between work and home office, there's always a mismatch between window placements.

I'm using virtual desktops to separate work for different projects, but there's two critical programs that don't allow me to be properly (in accordance to my needs, that is) opened on several desktops at once; Word (where I keep my diary) and VS Code (!).
