How many monitors do you have? -

I want to know if anyone has dual monitor setups here and if they have any advice. Currently, I'm running a setup of a 23.6" Asus monitor on HDMI I bought back in late 2017, alongside my old 20" Acer monitor from 2007 running on DVI. The resolutions come out odd for screenshots, but it works.
 

Glad I couldn't help

Two, both old monitors with outdated resolutions. I still wouldn't go back unless forced.

Only trouble I ran into was using VGA with one of the monitors. It was garbage, luckly I got a cable and replaced that sucker asap.

One that's just slightly square atm from one of my friend's relatives (old one died from overheating and possibly dying capacitors). Plan on getting a new one once I get the money for it.

IDK, maybe four? I only have two ports so I don't have them all hooked up, but off the top of my head, I've paired my HP 2011x with a lot of generic screens, one a VGA 1080p from way back in 2011, another a TV/monitor hybrid-thing that displays something like 1366x768, and an old CRT from god knows when.

Getting the layout right is a bitch because I don't have any monitors that are the same size.

That's a bad way to go, I hope your friend's old realtive didn't suffer too much.
Nah, the old monitor I got for like 20 bucks from a co-worker 5 years ago. The monitor I'm using to replace that is the one I got from said relative. It also came with an arm that I have to pay for.

I was trying to make a joke about dying from bad capacitors, but in hindsight it was retarded.
At work I have 3 monitors for 4 PCs , via a kvm.switch. It is a fucking ridiculous set up. I share a room with 7 other people with similar kit. There is no air con. It is hell.

I have a 24" Samsung LED monitor, so only one. It was like 60 euros off and I needed a new one to go with my new computer, so why not.

Just one, it's ten years old now but it's a very good monitor.

I also have a few other random monitors I've kept over the years that I have no idea what to do with. They're working and all, but there's no real market for used LCD monitors.

Middle monitor is a 32" 4K hooked up to my PC. Right monitor is a 27" 1080p hooked up to the PC. Right is an identical 27" screen hooked up to my cable box, Switch, and PS4.

For my gaming rig, I found out that one good monitor is better than two average ones. My work machine has two though, the extra screen real estate really comes in handy.
