6 32-inch Monitors in a Maximalist Work Setup

Yeah, so. So this setup is, is, is interesting. This is just. I mean, I, I think you can call this maximalism as, as well as just having like an insane amount of screens. This guy just went crazy of screens.

He even says here, I’m beginning to suspect the monitors are breeding. The name’s Queen Shady, so maybe it’s a she. I’m not sure. But they’re also called Lord of Discord.

Anyway, let’s check this setup out. This looks pretty interesting. So you got what, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 monitors here. That’s just over again. These, these aren’t small monitors.

These are 27 inch at least. Maybe 32. You got. This could be a laptop. It could be like a portable monitor.

I’m not sure. This looks like a tv, even though it says Linux. This is a wallpaper that says Linux on it. Is this two monitors here? I mean, it seems like they’re kind of laid flat almost.

These could be maybe touchscreen. You could have two touchscreen monitors on the table, which would be strange. This seems like the computer system over here. Yeah, this is a lot of screens, man. This is unnecessary.

Just. It’s unnecessary. I mean, the room actually seems to be like quite nicely laid out, to be honest. It’s just. There’s just so many screens.

I mean, if. Even if you had free, it would be like, yeah, free is reasonable. Free here. And then. I know.

I just can’t see these having any purpose. I’m going to have to read what they’ve actually written about this just to see if any of this is necessary. Six screens is just. This is crazy. Am I jealous?

I’m not. I’m not even jealous, really. I don’t. Six screens, it’s just too much. I could do three.

I could use three and actually make use of all three. Six. That’s just at least two of these. Probably three of these are going to be unused at any time. Maybe I’m putting Spotify on one of them.

Slack if you work. But even that, you don’t need a whole screen for these kind of applications. Something you can just have like in the corner of one screen. You could use one screen to do it. Okay.

Anyway, let’s move on to the next image. Oh, wow. Yeah. So he has two. These are monitors, right?

Yeah, two sort of like lay flat monitors here. That’s interesting. I’m not sure what’s going on there. And this just seems to be another screen up here just for, just for the fun of it. He has some cool Star wars figurines.

Here. What’s this? Millennium Falcon. Look at this. These are.

I mean, again, when I maximalism records just on the side. I was actually thinking of doing this. I was actually thinking of getting some, some records, some LPs and putting them up on my wall. But I don’t have a record player, so I would just be buying the records to use them as decoration. I, I don’t know.

Is that like breaking any sort of. Is that like breaking a code for people who are actually into like record collecting? Am I like ruining everything for them? Don’t know. I, I don’t know.

I kind of felt a bit. I was like, oh, I feel a bit guilty if I do this. So I didn’t do it. But yeah, you can see a bunch of records here. What looks like Star wars movie posters.

We got six of them up here. And these. Humongous. I want to say Lego. Okay, yes, Lego here, but this one, Twilight Imperium.

There’s like a whole thing online of like replica Lego. Maybe that’s like a. Shouldn’t say that out loud, but like I saw this thing called Lepin. I think it’s a subreddit called R Lepin L, E P I N. And it’s all just like, it’s like Chinese Lego. And some of them look really good.

I was like looking into them. This might be one of those. If I’m wrong, I’m sorry. You know, if you’re like, hey man, this is, this is real Lego, then good for you and that’s awesome and I apologize. But yeah, this might be a replica here.

I wonder how long these take to build as well. This must be at least a thousand pieces, right? This must take like a week to put this whole thing together. Maybe longer. Anyway, also you can see here pretty nice cable management with the monitors.

He’s, you know, he’s, he’s wrapped all the cables here. Looks like he has three sort of very heavy duty monitor stands to hold up his six monitors. Yeah. But yeah, good job with the cable management at least. And this was interesting.

So I think he mentioned here, or she met. They mentioned that they’re building what seems to be a Dungeons and Dragons, like a digital Dungeons and Dragons setup. So it looks like you have like the, what it called the Dungeon Master. Never played dnd, but I think it’s a Dungeon Master is over here and they have, I think they, they purchased like a, an all in one PC with a touchscreen so that the Dungeon Master can, can, you know, have to have the setup there and then maybe Everyone else is going to have screens. Maybe that’s why early on there was the lay flat screens on the side of the table.

This could be something to do with that. I’m not sure but I just thought this was really cool. Like a digital Dungeons and Dragons. I work in it from home, so the room. So the room ends up serving several purposes.

One work environment, gaming setup, small Linux lab, electronics repair bench and occasionally a place to unwind with retro games. It’s still evolving, but it’s getting closer to the layout I want. Seems like the main PC or 24 core i9, 128 gigs of RAM, 48 super and 15 terabytes of storage. Your main PC. Nice.

So apparently they made a post before where they had less layouts, less monitors. I removed the two vertical 27 inch monitors and replaced them with three 32 inch LG Ultra Fine 4K displays mounted above my primary monitors. So all of those six monitors are all 32 inch monitors? That is insane. This.

Yeah, no, it’s unnecessary. 32 six 32 inch monitors. No, no no no. There’s just no need. Also worth noting, my Imperial Star Destroyer is no longer alone.

I added a venator class Star Destroyer to the fleet which conveniently matches the sleeving I use for the cable runs. Next project Digital DND table. Once a few house projects wrap up AC installation, etc etc, the next build will be a digital DND table. The two 27 inch ASUS monitors are removed from the main setup and moving into that project, the plan is left vertical monitor facing me, Dungeon Master View, 17 inch HP touchscreen Laptop handling command and control. Right vertical.

Right vertical monitor facing the players for maps and encounters. Still in the planning phase but it should be a fun project. That sounds awesome. Yeah, I’d love to see progress of that. Yeah.

Digital gaming like combining like board games on a Dungeons Dragon. It’s not really a board game, but yeah, combining like tabletop games. Maybe that’s the term. Combining tabletop games with technology just seems really cool to me. I love board games.

I want to play more and I’d love to play digital tabletop board games. That sounds amazing.

Perfect.

You.
