This is so evil that it goes far, far beyond chaotic evil and I hope bad things happen to whoever is responsible for this:

All of the screens are working now, this was an old laptop that couldn't handle that many outputs. I've got a webcam and a small mirror in the hole between the top screens so I can see if anyone entered the room behind me.
This is a beautiful setup
The real chaotic evil:
I don't know, I think that sort of insanity transcends alignment.
Oh no
I believe the appropriate pronunciation is "Muahahahaha!".
Evil goatee can be added for maximum effect.

My old Dell laptop got a dark display corner and a few times of usage later it went completely and permanently dark. So I used an external screen only until I got my new laptop.
Lawful chaotic?
What is it considered when my side monitor is about 10% obscured by my main one because my monitor arm doesn't open wide enough?
I donβt know which one I am:
Clearly working for a pyramid scheme.
I use Vert Horiz Vert. Like the letter H.
Come at me bros.

Also chaotic good. 27" standard monitor on the left, 24" cinema monitor on the right.
vertical 24" on left. Horizontal 32" (gaming one) in middle. 2nd 24" on the right, horizontal
Chaotic neutral. Vertical monitor is best code review monitor.
And then thereβs this hilarious thing from Swordfish:
I unironically love that thing from Swordfish even if deep down I know it is dumb.
I don't subscribe to your morality. I have my second monitor on the floor under the desk.I often unplug it and plug in a projector that's pointing at the wall to my left for YouTube while I work. Haha!
I used to be chaotic good for some time before I decided I needed the desk space more.
My work setup is chaotic evil except I don't have the left vertical monitor but all 4 of my monitors are different sizes.
My home setup is just chaotic good.
Same here, I don't get why it's chaotic evil. I just buy one monitor at a time, so they can never match.

True Neutral at home.
Chaotic Good at work because I need a second screen but can't get a matching screen yet.
I have three monitors. Two 27" in neutral good configuration, then a third smaller 4:3 monitor (not sure what size off the top of my head) in a chaotic good type setup, albeit on the left side, not the right.
My desktop machine can use all three, but the two main monitors are usually tuned to my work laptop.
Chaotic neutral is, unironically, the best for a lot of work related tasks. It takes up less space on a desk and the vertical monitor just makes a lot of sense for reading Teams/Slack/whatever, answer emails, reading documents, etc.. I actually picked it up from a friend who uses a vertical curved monitor and he said it was great for coding related work. Donβt skimp on the resolution, though, βcause youβll probably want 1440p to make sure the words are clear. 4k is fine but probably overkill and needlessly expensive.
When I worked from home I had my personal 34β curved screen in the middle of my desk for AutoCAD and a vertical monitor from work fit perfectly between the main monitor and the edge of the desk. Tβwas brilliant. And Iβm tall so my main screen is high enough up that my laptop fits underneath and I can watch shows and stuff
Verti-hori for lyyyfe.
My setup isn't on this.... I'm beyond chaotic evil.
My work setup is six displays, four are 1080p, one is 1440p and the last one is the smallest diagonally, but 4K.
None of them are vertical right now though.
Yeah, I have:
27" 1440p in the middle
24" 1080p to the right
21" 1080p on the upper left
22" 1050p 16:10 on the lower left
All from different manufacturers, two of them bought broken and resurrected. I call it the "chaotic evil necromancer setup". None of them in portrait though.
For me, the 1440p is also in the middle, I think mine is a 25", I forget, I've owned most of them for a very long time.
1080p 23" I believe, both left, right, above, and top right. So it's pretty even all around my 1440 main screen.
Top left is actually the built in display of the laptop, which is on a stand to prop it up so it system is basically flat/vertical. It's aspect is more square than 16:10... I think. In any case, it's that aspect ratios version of 4k, but the screen on the laptop is easily the smallest physical size display and it's furthest away since it's on the laptop, which is on a stand, behind my monitor arms for everything else. So it's set back from the rest of the screens by about 3-4".
That's not to mention my KVM, which is triple display, so my 1440p display, and the left+right 1080 displays can be switched to my personal rig, and the two 1080's above (middle and right) are on a USB to display port adapter by USB through the KVM. So my personal computer has 5 displays, and my work laptop has 5 + the built in display.
I got a portable display for my work PC since I'm going on site to a customer site later this week, and I plugged it in to this cacophony (on my work PC), and when I set windows to extend my desktop to it, one of my other displays turned off.... It seems that I've hit my monitor limit for this system.
It's not surprising given that they're almost all connected by displaylink either through the docking station or by the USB to display port adapter, and I'm pretty sure this new display also uses displaylink. Oh well. I can't seem to make it worse for now. If I get any additional screens I'll have to get a thunderbolt egpu for my work system, something I'm already considering since I've noticed frame drops on some of my screens occasionally, which I believe is a bandwidth issue for the displaylink on the USB bus. In that case I'd want to replace my displays on the dock with the connections from the egpu, so only my top displays are connected by displaylink. By doing that, I can easily switch between computers by my existing KVM and get the five screens on both systems. I also suspect that the USB on one of my systems needs to be improved since my personal system also has issues with the displaylink displays, though the three KVM switched displays are to an Nvidia desktop GPU. USB upgrade first on my personal desktop, then I'll think about the egpu again.... Bluntly, I don't need the graphics horsepower on my work system, so it would not be a good investment to beef it up more than it is.
I love it!
I achieve lawful good while being true neutral by using a single ultra wide curved monitor.
Don't @ me, there's no going back
Tiling WM turns the 21:9 into 2 or 3 panes perfect for reading
I hope that SpaceX capsule brings you home safely.
true neutral :)
Chaotic Neutral + laptop screen still open? summon Man-servant Hecubus!
I guess that makes us screen-siblings, or screen-cousins, perhaps. Maybe we should print up some T-shirts celebrating The One True Way. Maybe some flyers for a recruitment-drive.
