    As a GIS tech, there's one missing - the laptop next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P

    But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So... Yeah.

    Mental illness is almost all of finance. That checks out 100%.

    Look, I'm not here to GIS anything. That's my pinball monitor.

    This is my mental illness, I change, rearrange, add, and substract screens constantly in my array. It's mostly for leaving ambient video playing in the background at my house, kinda like a little zen garden. I dream of programming all the TVs at a night club.

    I got five computers in the array when this pic was taken. Three 2012 MacBook Pros, one on MacOS 10.15 Catalina, one on Windows 10, and one on Mint. Down low I have two gaming PCs, a 2014 build running Fedora and a 2017 build on Ubuntu.

    You can't see my face but I'm cheesing so hard, this was one of the more ridiculous arrangements I've set up. I will use between three and seven screens at once on a normal day, but eight was an accomplishment lol

    Since then I've upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.

    Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.

    1. App
    2. App submenus and subwindows
    3. Redlines/markups/notes
    4. Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.

    Though I'd say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.

    What's wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.

    My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.

    Lets be real, 4 and 8 are "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers" 99% the time in practice.

    The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.
