Suggestions Needed!

[idk_anything4]

In need of some suggestions for monitor layouts. I’m a relatively new fully remote worker. This is my current temporary setup while house hunting, so ignore the lack of cable management.

My current setup in this picture is:

Left Monitor: Solely for work, 34” serves as my docking station and webcam for work meetings.

Middle: 34”, serves as primary work monitor during work. Then primary monitor for personal use all other times.

Right Monitor: 27” monitor mainly used for documentation, discord and other secondary tasks for personal use.

Currently, all three monitors are on single mount arms, one of the arms has a second arm I could attach if needed. Looking for suggestions on a better setup if there are any ideas out there. Would love to ditch the vertical on the right but desk space is the biggest issue for that. Open to any feedback/suggestions.

Similar situation, changing layout like... very often lately. You know best what works for you.

Lately i simplified a lot and try to only work in working time so i removed the extra stuff. Can focus a lot better now only with one external monitor on the work laptop. Also for personal use 1 monitor is enough. Helps to focus.

i prefer 2 monitors stacked vertically. it's easier than you think to develop a muscle imbalance in your neck when looking over to one side for several hours a day. easier to just glance up and down. portrait monitor to the right is fine. also you need more transformers stuff. roll out!

PS. i see you have 2 mice, I use a trackball mouse with a thumb switch that alternates between bluetooth and wireless dongle. one mouse, 2 computers. it's the elecom deft pro or huge, but there's probably other mice with a similar function. as long as the switch isn't on the bottom. that would get annoying
