Sorry to hear of the break up Paul, but everything`s done for a reason

Thanks Brian, I am fine mate. Happier than ever actually lol.

Just been messing around with my monitor, tried it in portrait mode for the first time. It looks kind of stupid on the desk but it's pretty cool, I can see the whole SF Forum without having to scroll haha!

I saw that monitor mount idea on a Dell 17" recently, thought it was pretty cool.. But I didn't really appreciate it until now.

[edit] But I must admit, I do like being able to read your post all on one line.

I agree with ZaLith. It could cause issues. But, if it looked like this, I would be impressed.

It was fun trying it out, I find at 2560x1440 there is a lot of wasted space on the forum and in wide mode it's just too wide. It doesn't bother me but it was pretty cool at 1440x2560.

Here are a couple of pics at both resolutions to show how much is displayed in a thread.

Lol, now that would be nice Steve, I think I would need some more GPU's too!

You could use either one big central monitor set to landscape then two smaller sided ones set in portrait mode...

I've tried portrait on my monitor, thinking it would be great to see entire pages. It didn't work out for me, however, because my neck got sore looking up and down all the time.

I agree, unless I'm working a big spreadsheet, portrait mode isn't worth it. I prefer the scrolling function

Think I might have to attempt that with my 3 new monitors at some point. Not sure if I'll have enough space in my tiny flat at the moment though, but I will find out tomorrow...

My big brother did something similar many years back, don't remember the exact sizes (I was very young), but I think it was a 24" in landscape with a 17" in portrait on each side. Back then, and to a small kid, that kind of setup is pretty darn amazing hey!
