You get a decent-sized \u2013 but not <em>too<\/em> tall \u2013 work area right in front of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 4k screen with scaling obviously does look better. But not every software supports it, so relying on it can get messy. 1440p offers the right amount of space, still looks good on a 27\u201d monitor, and you don\u2019t need to worry about inconsistencies with scaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vertical monitors are fine if you want more space, but don\u2019t think you need the maximum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vertical-monitor.jpg\" alt=\"vertical monitor setup\" class=\"wp-image-46271\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A setup with vertical monitors beside your bigger main screen is very similar to this one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you get less horizontal space. This means it\u2019s good for putting a single code editor or document on it, but not so much for application windows that are more wide than tall, or two windows side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why not just one BIG screen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some programmers opt to use a single, 30\u201d-plus-sized screen instead of multiple mid-sized monitors. This could be a regular 16:9 aspect ration monitor, or a flat or curved (ultra) wide screen one \u2013 the most popular resolutions for these being WQHD (3440&#215;1440) at a 43:18 aspect ratio, or even wider and taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these monitors you\u2019ll get the optimal height in terms of pixels per inch (PPI), and a lot of horizontal space as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, there\u2019s some drawbacks to this setup \u2013 which is why it\u2019s not my top-recommended coding monitor configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window management on massive single screens is problematic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll still want to divide your one big monitor into different areas. There are a bunch of tiling management softwares out there. Unfortunately they don\u2019t all work well on every operation system. Considering you\u2019re using them to become a more efficient coder \u2013 not to add yet another thing to worry about \u2013 this might not be the optimal solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an app decides to open in full screen, it will stretch across your whole viewing area \u2013 which is annoying and will cost you time and effort for re-organizing the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s worse, if you\u2019re using a laptop to connect to your screens, and need to disconnect it from your screens for some reason, the locations won\u2019t be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curved monitors can be good for some coders, but they\u2019re not for everyone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/curved-monitor.jpg\" alt=\"a wide curved monitor\" class=\"wp-image-46273\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One advantage of using a curved monitor in your programming monitor setup is that you\u2019ll have a more immersive experience compared to a flat wide screen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also be able to see more of the content at the sides without having to move your head as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But windows in the curved area also won\u2019t look as natural. And you\u2019re more vulnerable to reflections created by outside light sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people can\u2019t stand looking at a curved monitor for a prolonged time at all \u2013 it can cause a dizzy feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ever need to move your programming setup, ultrawide curved monitors are quite unhandy to transport, too, and the risk of damaging them is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, they\u2019re more expensive than flat screens. In light of the disadvantages mentioned, you\u2019ll need to think carefully whether you want to spend the extra money on a curved screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A dual-screen setup is great for increasing your efficiency as a coder.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could opt for one bigger and one smaller screen, recreating the optimal setup above, just with one less screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or go for two identical, bigger monitors. You\u2019ll have more overall screen real estate, but you\u2019ll also have to turn your head a bit if focusing on the outer areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dual-Monitor-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46220\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to best set up dual monitors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to go with this option, I recommend you don\u2019t place them dead center in front of you. There\u2019s no reason to be looking straight at the bezels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead you want to have your main windows (most likely your IDE) centered in your natural point of focus. The second screen is supplementary and can be used for documentation, a debugger, or program output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any external screen is better than coding on a lone laptop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re more budget-minded, it\u2019s fine to do your programming work on a normal-sized display (say, a 24\u201d model) in addition to the smaller laptop screen. While you might still have to switch things around and Alt+Tab for some tasks, this setup will give a massive boost in productivity over coding on just your laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do raise your laptop screen towards eye level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend you use an external keyboard and place the laptop on a stand so its screen is more in line with the monitor\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having it as an extension at the bottom corner is suboptimal, because you\u2019ll have to look down to focus on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/monitor-plus-laptop.jpg\" alt=\"Laptop with external monitor attached\" class=\"wp-image-46274\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for having the laptop below the monitor. Yes, this way you could spare yourself the external keyboard. But the integrated keyboard in many cases isn\u2019t the most ergonomic anyway. And having to look down at the laptop screen isn\u2019t the best in terms of having to re-find your focus, as well as neck and shoulder health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best programmer monitor models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As your main screen<\/strong>, I recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/dell-monitor\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Dell Ultrasharp 27\u201d<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong>. It sports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a big, beautiful QHD (2560x1440p) LED panel&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>strong build for longevity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>variable (pivot, swivel, tilt) monitor stand for different setups&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>affordable price as the 1440p version<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For the supplementary monitors<\/strong>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/lg-dualup\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">LG Dual Up<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong> is the ultimate option. It has an unusual aspect ratio of 16:18 at 2560&#215;2880 resolution. You can use it in either portrait or landscape mode. And either way you\u2019ll get not just the same area as your main monitor in the middle \u2013 but indeed even more vertical and horizontal space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is to have your debugger, software output, and documentation in the nearest, most easy-to-view area. The one you\u2019d get if you used three identical 1440p monitors side by side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with the <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/lg-dualup\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">LG Dual Up<\/a><strong>\u293b<\/strong>, you have even more space. Yes, it\u2019ll be harder to view than the middle of the screen. It\u2019s ideal to use for email or messenger windows, which you don\u2019t need to check as often. Think of it as bonus space. It\u2019s not essential, but nice to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, the portrait mode allows you to view more lines of code or documentation vertically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What makes the optimal configuration of screens in your programming desk setup?
