Work From Home - 5 days/week approved... Now I need 2 more monitors & stands...

[vino68]

I use two 43" and two 27", with the option to use the 55" TV on the wall as a fifth monitor.

Get this and this. Screw them together. I have two.

You can get a motorized one but the crank is fine and a wee bit of exercise. Total cost of $300 is a steal.

...but we can only have 254 monitors, MAX, last I heard, y'all...

EDIT: Win 10 only supports 10, MAX?!?!?! WTF?!!??!?!

I'm using 2 of these for 4 displays. Same trouble, glass top desk and no way to clamp to it.


My monitors are 34" ultrawide. Stand is sturdy and no troubles with it.

I had something like that but with 4 monitors. It was big and heavy. Tossed all that and went with the TV.

I need the versatility of multiple monitors, I'm running multiple applications on two workstations.

Also I prefer the higher resolution, each 34" monitor is 4k which equates to about twice the pixel density as a 4k TV.

Yep, more complex and weighs more but I'm not holding it up, the desk is.

Study: People Working From Home Have Sex, Take Naps On Company Time

Working from home definitely has its advantages, but how much work are we actually getting done? A new survey reveals what Americans are actually doing while on the clock and working from home and based on the results? It’s surprising any real work is getting done.

The survey from e-conolight asked 1-thousand people how much time they devote to work and non-work activities during a 40-hour work week. The majority of respondents (76%) say they spend four or more hours focused on work, while the other 24% spend three or fewer hours working. Around 40% report spending four or more hours away from their computers during the work day, so what are they actually doing with all that time at home? Working on their side hustles, their love lives and more.

Now why do you need three monitors? lol

Dell makes big *** TVs with multiple inputs you can chop up how you want and auto switch between computers and even the audio. Cool, but expensive. I was checking them out last time I was at their HQ. I believe they were 8K screens. I don't remember if they were 49" or 53"

Open RDP to your home rig, BEFORE opening the VPN...
Works for me, until they catch on, then they stop it, then they forget, and it works again...
OR run a VM...

and people don't do that while on company property? haha. anything that anti-WFH shill articles that denounce WFH as some evil to capitalism, i or others i know or have read about have done at work on company property already.

[crufflers]

I did find this, but it appears the base isn't very wide...

TEETER-TOTTER...

That looks like one I have... it is fine for 3x24" I wouldn't use it with 27" and definitely not 32" but I am guessing. It is a fairly heavy base and heavier than the similar dual models IIRC...

I just put a new dual together today and it has a different style glass base... too soon to tell if it will be stable, but it seems fine for a dual. I didn't install screens yet.

There are some really light and unuseable models out there for sure, but most of those come with a clamp that must be mounted through the desk surface (via drilled hole) and some do not spell this out in the listing.

What kind of resolution can you get with a 4k? How big a monitor would you need to make the maximum resolution readable?

Welp, a couple more days to go, and I will be FREE!!!

Since I was short on time, and didn't have time to check rooms for rent, or apartments for a temp-stay (lease 12 months is what most said) I opted for an AirBNB room with a monthly rate.

PRETTY-PENNY for a room, at over $1000/month, but at least it will let me setup residency, and change my plates over to TX probably w/out getting grief from a homeowner about Cali plates in their driveway... AND, if you didn't know, THEY TYPICALLY HATE CALIFORNIANS, and will tell you that TEXAS IS FULL. They don't realize many of use fleeing Kommiefornia are more gun enthusiasts than they are, reload our own ammo, and will never vote DemonRat, even once... for the rest of our lives, not to mention the family members we bring will vote non-DemonRat too.

I think I MIGHT have half the garage, and should park that Cali-plate in the garage, until the plates are changed over to free-state plates.

The other tenant is also AriBNBing... long-term.

The room has a desk, which seems like the size I need.

Changed my phone number,
then my primary addy on Amazon...
