What's gis? Cos apparently I'm one.

As a GIS tech, there's one missing - the laptop next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P

But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So... Yeah.

GIS as in geographic information systems?

Look, I'm not here to GIS anything. That's my pinball monitor.

I'm not even on the chart

8 is just CCTV cameras

Mine is not here. Ultrawide, with regular above it

Since then I've upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.

I have one thats not represented here. Im fairly sure it belongs on the lower right.

These are my emotional support monitors

Lets be real, 4 and 8 are "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers" 99% the time in practice.

Is this my sign to get in to GIS?

Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.

1. App
2. App submenus and subwindows
3. Redlines/markups/notes
4. Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.

Though I'd say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.

I'm none of these. I have two normal and one rotated 90 degrees for the odd legal sized document that gets scanned in. When I was doing a lot of data entry in one of my jobs, it helped.

Holy.... a GIS meme in the wild

My GIS rig is different than any of those.

Vertical monitor on the left, ultrawide lifted a bit high on the right, and open laptop screen beneath the ultrawide.

Verticals for email, teams, etc. Big ultrawide is mostly for main GIS window and spreadsheets, and laptop screen is kinda general purpose.

I actually have a 4th monitor technically, but it's a big TV on the wall of my office that's usually turned off, but that I can use for presentations or screen-sharing when I'm meeting with people in my office.

I've seen a coder have exactly two vertical monitors.

I'm 5, because I'm writing and reading a lot. It makes no sense to have a horizontal screen for text.

The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.

I have a CRT and a standard flat screen where am on this?

Can someone explain to me how to connect so many monitors? Like I had two HDMI ports and I think thats pretty normal? How are people doing 3+ monitors?

I want to meet the man who uses 7, but 14 scares me.

What's wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.

My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.

My setup isn't even in this list....

The only thing mental is putting up with all of these seams. If you're not in a tactical environment that requires this -- say for being able to set up and move on the fly -- then just get a big ass monitor. They're life changing.

I'm none of these.

One large center monitor, a smaller 1080p to the left and right, and above the center large one for a total of four.

Perfect for being a DM.

I have a software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn't fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.

6 but they're all different sizes. One I've had since 2016, one was $20 from goodwill, and the other I found on the side of the road.

Ha, I'm not on here. Wait, that's probably a bad thing.

How is #6 only GIS and not also normal for many gaming rigs?

5 but mostly because I like looking at pretty jwst pictures when I die in a video game. Technically it's for my music player and monitoring torrents...

I have an ultra wide and a vertical 1080p it's amazing

I have 2 monitors + laptop and my setup isn't even represented here (29" 16:9 and 34" 21:9)
