Multiple monitors are worth it


Multitasking is definitely more fun now.

Also: My phone's camera is shit.

I thought the blog title saying it's not worth it. I have an ultrawide and I think that's a good alternative to the multiple monitor setup. Small bedroom, very small desk, so it suits me and it's rare I full screen a web browser, sometimes full screen the media player, and the windows are sizable enough.

I have a R9 290 which had a weird bug where using two monitors the video spazzess as the memory clock is too low. Three monitors fixes it, go figure

VLC? Is it popular? I been using this other one that came with a CCCP installation of mkv files and ogg something since it seem like anime is never in some more common format like MP4 or something. Otherwise i just use my adroid with MX player since is godlike, :P

Too bad my desk doesn't have enough room for multiple monitors. Nice though

@Futurdreamz I use K-lite too, what default player? I never had problems with Media Player Classic and MKVs. I haven't updated K-lite in a while, I use VLC on the phone (battery drainer, but I don't know why Snapchat isn't classified as one by my phone, it drains the battery more than VLC), on the PC if somehow MPC+K-lite can't play something.

It took until now for me to notice that... I thought it was a little deeper than what i wanted...

@Futurdreamz - DAMN lol I was orginally going to buy a really nice desk for 110 USD from amazon. However I went to Walmart that day and found one really close for about 80. Turns out when I got it home it was broken so I had to return it(taking apart and putting together a heavy box takes way too long) then I got a decent replacement.

Yeah, I have one 27 inch monitor and another small 4:3 one off to the side. Really helps if you want to keep two windows in view without having to shrink stuff down and make everything cramped.

I've got an old 19" TV acting as a second monitor at home. Essential when coding. Not enough room on my current desk (nor enough room in my current living space for a bigger desk) to fit a third monitor, though.

So is k-lite better than MPC for those anime MKV and OGB videos? Cause i never tried anything else after installing the CCCP for anime. I still dunno why anything would use MKV or OGB for video playback.

It was that when i started using it that the format is just like putting random stuff into a jar as is basically combining a mutiple video files, audio files, and even subtitle text files into one format, which explains why the files were so huge to begin with. Just it would be easier for everyone if is just MP4 or something. Good think MX player is probably best video player on android. :P

My middle monitor is a 32" 720P tv. I definately wish I had something a little smaller and higher resolution, but I'm happy that it all fits on my desk.

    I love it for most things most stores you just shows the receipt online and they scan it

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then I gotta send it back and wait another week or two. I have a pickup truck, with a extended cab, so no prob for me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most manufacturers pack it well enough where they aren't that dumb to let it happen

    Is crazy to think, you used to be able to build a decent PC for $300-400. Those days are way gone.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gotta save a dollar where you can get a dollar
