I spent the weekend researching and googling things for the upcoming home office setup.

I'm currently trying to decide to whether to go for one large widescreen monitor (27-30") or dual 24" screens

First world problems.

Dual 27"

Can't be ****ed for Monday tbh

Lol that is a first world problem. I always preferred one large. That way no bezel to interrupt.

I'm now on to week 5 of the flu. And that's full blown flu not a cold. Starting to think it may be something else...

Would it just be for work or might there be some play involved?

I'd say about 80% work and 20% photography/casual/gaming

The setup will be primarily used when I am working from home during the days. It will get some light "out of hours" use during the weekend and then used quite a bit on the weekends when SWMBO is working.

Put the first person on my ignore list today. Can only handle so much stupid before I want to stab people over the internet.

Surely as forum mod you could just ban them? Or are you lying to us and you're not a mod? Hmm?

Also do you have the record for most involuntary name changes?

I would go for one big widescreen then. I've pretty sure they go 34' ones.

I've never worked with a single large screen before. But the thought of say a 30" proper widescreen is appealing!

But I think realistically I am going to end up with dualies

Hyburnate · 13 Feb 2017 at 21:12

So I had my budget for a new piece of software 'approved' today. I don't think I'm going to stop 'working' this week

Oh it is still here...

How long do we think people will keep complaining about the new forum? Weeks? Months?

I went last year for a 34" ultra wide 1440p. No regrets.
Better than widescreen for when you want that, and enough room for two un-cramped windows side by side.

Until it is fixed, because it is bloody awful.

Much better with Thesnipergecko's theme though.

it's not awful, it just isn't quite right yet. Rome wasn't built in a day!

Seriously, I thought Hyburnate was the queen here

It is awful, unless of course you are blind or really like Microsoft Word drop-shadows and boxes in boxes in boxes in boxes in boxes for no apparent reason.

Stick this on, so much better. https://userstyles.org/styles/138898/ocuk-forums

Rome wasn't built in a day. The forum needed change, but people don't adapt well to that.

i'll let ocuk sort out the theme themselves. I'll appreciate the changes more

Like they sorted the main store page out you mean?

I've no idea. Not browsed the store in years.

Already home in PJ and lying in bed!

I don't believe you.
