I don't understand why 3:2 and 16:10 have taken over the mobile space but if I want one for my desktop my choices are 1920x1200 or a thirty inch, thousand dollar monstrosity with bad response times.
27" is a bit too tall vertically, but 26" or 25" would be ideal (with a resolution larger than 1920x1200).
You can have 360+ degrees of scroll (beyond a full circle, you continue to wind into virtual space), spatial gestures to organize and manipulate your workspace.
It'll be like physical trades where workers knoll out their workspaces. We'll finally be able to do the same without clunky, insufficient windowing systems.
UI and 3D tools won't be limited to flat planes anymore, which will enable us to work with our hands.
I'm incredibly excited for this tech to land. I think it'll introduce an order of magnitude increase in productivity once it begins to mature.
I prefer to work with a single large external monitor. If my device is a laptop I keep it in clamshell mode when attached to an external monitor. I find switching applications with keyboard shortcuts and focusing on one thing at a time has improved my productivity. Using two or more monitors made it so easy for me to get distracted. To each their own though.
One thing that cracks me up is how many of my users request multiple monitor setups, but look at the keyboard while they type.
I've got 3, left is 90, center is 0 and right is -90. It's Tall,Wide,Tall layout. Works a treat.
Tall monitors must be hard on the neck if you frequently need to see the top half of it. The ergonomic recommendation is keeping the monitors at eye level. How do you deal with that?
So I look down to see the bottom of my tall monitor, straight ahead to see the top of either.
I also have one overhead monitor to glance up at for reference or other pages. 80% of my work is done on my main monitor. 15% on the tall. 5% on the overhead. The overhead is still very useful though.
Haha the sticky notes and photos. Quality entertainment.

What's the thousand dollar monstrosity? The only decent resolution taller monitor I'm aware of is the huawei mateview, which isn't available in the US
