been busy rearranging and tidying the setup

the center monitor is a FHD 144hz portable display that i use as my main viewer for web pages and playing games, the other two were previously a pair, set up in landscape side by side, both tilted inwards like now with their edges together

it's almost like i upgraded to 5 displays by rearranging them like this, now i can have two projects open in vertically split panes on each side as you see in the image

the speakers are probably better for acoustics this way too, with the tweeters at the top of each wider than the mid/bass

i've also rearranged and uncluttered the cables quite a lot doing this, the mini pc's tangle is mostly hidden behind the right monitor now, which is visually better

and yes, those monitors are a tiny bit precarious like that, on top of a smooth speaker cabinet... so i've zip-tied a jar full of water to the neck of the stand so they are more stable... i really should find actual metal weights to put there really

anyhow, no idea how i'm gonna like having two monitors like this in portrait, i've often thought of it and had monitors for some years now that can do it but never found it to be comfortable

been hankering to have a better monitor setup for some time now, but honestly i just want a wide 5k display, just one, about 32", OLED, 144hz, but it's the wrong time to be thinking about such things haha

regarding how the displays are configured to be arranged, the two at the top are sat right against each other and the bottom one in the middle between, like before, except with the two big ones rotated... having them actually arranged to reflect the physical layout puts huge invisible walls around the mouse movement, this is much easier, i can jump left to right at the top and down to the bottom smoothly without wondering where the cursor actually is haha
