how do you not get headaches with so many monitors. my head hurts reading it.
I've got 3 (one 34" and two 28") monitors and a huge tv mounted above them, I use computer reading glasses, before I got them I used to get some massive headaches

What do you mean? If you can read one you can read them all. lol.
Do you mean, from moving my head around. I find it's more comfortable than staying in a rigid position for 13 hours. That was giving me a headache. So I kept adding until my entire field of view was full.

Here's the lineup
Watching videos that were so small was giving me a headache. So, I added the tv. Only for videos.(It displays Hit Finder the rest f the time but, I don't look at it unless I'm across the room, since HitFinder actually lives in my upper left monitor, with it's buddy HitCatcher)

Upper right monitor is Assigned HITs, usually. Sometimes Dashboard. And Pandora in the background.
Bottom, centered, is the touchscreen where I work HITs, using the touchscreen when I need a stretch or when it's faster.

And far left is the Laptop, connected with InputDirector, for Inquisit. And when I'm not using it for Inquisit, It's where you guys live. MTC and gmail, and any other social media, or non turk stuff. So that it doesn't take processing power and memory from making money.
:D

That's how I do it. It's all mounted on a sit/stand "desk"(wall mounted arm with monitor mounts and a keyboard tray) TV on the wall above. Laptop on the little side table at my left arm. And my PC wallmount is crazy articulated. I can stand, almost anywhere in this room and swing my monitors and keyboard with me. https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Workst...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5XAJARCK7928ER573TYD

Best $139 I ever spent.
YMMV
I'd love to see a picture of that setup. I want to get a sit/stand desk since I've made the move to working at home. Honestly, I'm using a conference table because of it's size. I like having a lot of desk space.

like staring at so many screens in concession like that. i shouldve phrased it better. doh. my head hurts with just one. i probably need glasses.
I also have "computer glasses". lol

But. I only stare at the one right in front of me, where I'm working HITs.

If HitCatcher or HitFinder dings I glance upper left to find out why. Maybe grab a HIT.
If I want to see what my queue looks like and check timers, I glance upper right.

If I want to talk to you jerks, I look at the laptop on the left. But, if I'm talking, I'm not working. If I'm on Inquisit, I'm there as well. So that I can have a real HIT where it's supposed to be, right in front of me. And I can do it while Inquisit is busy sucking.

And if I have a long video that I have to watch, and I want to watch it big, I lean back in my chair, grab some popcorn, and it's at the same eye level a movie screen would be.

It sounds crazy complicated when typed out but, it's super intuitive. I ignore social media if there's anything else going on. So, we can canel that one out most times. I don't use the tv, but for videos and to see HitFinder from across the room if I need to.(saves having to sprint to the PC at every ding.)
So, now we're effectively only using 3. Then think of it like a car with 2 mirrors. I'm constantly looking out the windshield.(center monitor) And I occasionally glance at my mirrors unless stopped.(upper 2 monitors.)
:)

That's what I'd do with it. I forgot to count my tv mounted above my PC. So, I have 5. All stuck to the wall. But, the tv is a mirror of another monitor. So, I don't know if that makes it 5 or 4.2. :)
How many pointing devices tho? :) My problem is that I wear out my clicking finger or get other hand and wrist problems when working too long, so I have a regular mouse, a vertical mouse, and a trackball all hooked up for my right hand. Also have a gaming controller that I haven't done much with yet, and have even used a left hand mouse when my right hand was really worn out. Getting old I guess...

Log in or register now. to view Spoiler content!

This was it before I got the touch screen(last month) and mounted the tv, also last month. Then I moved the laptop to the left, on a small table(until it's wall mount comes lol) and put the touchscreen in it's place.

I'd take a new pic but, wile trying to do a HIT today, I realized my 5 year old phone's camera is just for show. Had to toss a HIT back because of it.

this WAS my only semi secret batch i had, about 3 years ago he posted non stop for a week, i mean night and day and i racked up, i also noticed not many were working the batch, so i almost had it to my self :wink:

then he did not post for about a year, then when he came back everybody figured it out and BAM no more semi secret batch. but was good money for that one week :)

1 pointing device. I use InputDirector for that. I share a keyboard and mouse with both PCs and the laptop. Works great. I also ocasionally use my finger with the touchscreen. Usually to bang out bubble hell HITs or while I'm dancing around to some EDM doing, random hits. My hand gets tired when I click a lot but, I think that happens to everyone. I just rest it for a few minutes. And I stop before it hurts. Not after.:)

The one I did was bad that I should have returned it, like an hour. Not sure if there are some that are better though.
