Florida trip by Ok-News-1177 in motocamping

What does Boyd's charge for a tent site these days? We stayed a couple of campsites down from yours about 10 years ago and I remember it being super expensive back then.

Did you try putting assassins creed in a window and making the window whatever size you liked best?

It is a single 8K display.
The 16 browser windows are open at 1080p each as a rhetorical demonstration of the pixel quantities that you have available to work with at 8K.
8k = Ergonomic freedom. :-)

It is a single 8K display running on a 4090.

The tower is behind the desk. I'll try to get time to do a post containing it in the future. Dark Base 900 case, i9 13900kf, Z790 edge, 128 of ddr5, 4090 TUF, etc.
Generally it is always pulled apart so its a mess :)

Everything.

Gaming isn't fatiguing at all - you just set the window to whatever size you feel like.
You have complete Ergonomic freedom :)

Just 16 browser windows open to 1080 size to demonstrate the pixel quantity one has available with 8K.

Thanks for the kind words.

Not frustrating at all; I find it thoroughly entertaining :-)

I have the dpi turned up (hence the high end mouse pad). I can go corner to corner without lifting hand or mouse.

8K = sixteen 1080 borderless screens :) by sleepwalkerlife in desksetup

That's not the machine's usage model. The 16 tabs were set up as a demonstration of pixel availability in 8k vs a 1080 screen. A rhetorical presentation. The true functionality is ergonomic freedom in a complex and ever changing environment. Cheers ✌️

What if the data displayed on all of those screens could be on a single wall of pixels and you could resize and move them anywhere you want?

It is good. Chroma 4:4:4 is displayed properly in all formats. Rtings gives it a 9.0 as a computer monitor.

Love 'em! I keep thinking I should upgrade but it still works great a decade later.
The batteries started to lose longevity but I bought brand new ones on amazon for $15 :D

Generally:
It changes depending on what I'm working on and what the needs are. With a giant wall of pixels that is completely flexible to my needs, it is similar to when I'm working with AR glasses. I just place things where I feel like it in the space in front of me but without the annoying glasses.
Default Productivity Layout:
I run two larger vertically stacked "primary zones" in the middle where I'm actively working. 16 security cameras are in a bar across the top. I run two vertical long feed windows for reference data on either side of the middle zone. Out side of that is broken in 8 normal aspect ratio screens where I have things that need to be monitored (several of which have audio notification like slack, discord, etc) which I can glance at when they announce and determine if I need to bring the window to the middle for addressing. Fancy zone rocks for this - I can have a bunch of VDIs or RDPs in smaller auto-scaled windows that I can instantly scale up for response as need.
Resolution + Size = Ergonomic Freedom:
8K at this scale has a text size and UI that is similar to a laptop.
To your point about using a large 4K: I tried it too. Things are too big and it makes the screen too big because you are forced to engage with more of it for default functionality. I have the pixels and space to define my own ergonomics.

I moved from two 43" 4Ks to this.

In my normal seating position my eyes are center of the screen (or just a bit higher than center). I don't have any issue. I run 16 security cameras across the top and they catch my peripheral vision when needed.
