Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you're never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.

where does diagonal fall?

What about this?

I present you with my masterpiece

Chaotic evil here. No regrets.

Am I the only chaotic neutral here? I code on the right and do everything else on the left.

"Chaotic Good"

aka "I got this monitor for free from someone else"

what about having a tv across the room as a second monitor?

Ummmm... how about 2 vertical monitors above each other?

That's how I got this long ass screenshot, for example:

I don't know how else to do that, so I fixed it with hardware ʘ‿ʘ

But otherwise, true neutral.

Hard disagree. More monitors is morally better.

Vertical monitors are good for code, too.

Tilted 22 degree to maximize the potential line length that can be displayed.

One monitor isn't true neutral. It's broke-ass bitch. That's me. I'm a broke-ass bitch.

How about only a laptop monitor?

It's not how I would want to be all the time, but Chaotic Neutral is really great for reviewing documents in a PDF.

Lawful Good . Flight Simulator in 3x 32” 4k

What about using Android Tab or Phones as second monitor?

So Chaotic Evil just gets way more screen real estate than everybody else?

What am I?

Love my lawful evil setup, works great!

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

Not a programmer though, I make videos

I'm Chaotic Neutral (although my vertical monitor is on the left). It was an experiment that stuck because I like being able to read more lines of code at once.

I'm pretty much chaotic evil, with a laptop.

One thing I will say: anyone who has a single window spanned across multiple monitors needs battering. "Oh, yah, I fookin' love 'aving un two-centimeter black bar in middul of me Word doccumant". Unhinged sociopaths, all of them.

Lawful neutral at home and Chaotic neutral at work

Guess I'm chaotic evil

What about those who eschew multi monitor setups in favour of an ultrawide?

• 50% of web developers: Chaotic Neutral
• Salespeople: Lawful Neutral
• Programmers (and the other 50% of web developers): Unaligned, we know how to use shortcuts.

I know it's been out for years but I don't understand anything about this meme format. Reminds me of mbti bullshit

I’ve got a sideways monitor, a rightway monitor and a laptop all scrunched together, what does that make me?

Chaotic good, one 32" 2560×1440 display, one old 19" 1280×1024 display (mainly used for referencing docs, for a debugger, or watching a VTuber or a conference presentation).

I think they're all evil with those skulls on the screen.

Why is it neutral evil to have a monitor without a face?

I guess I'm LE. Its the only way my monitors would fit in my space :(

Lawful good at home.

Laptop and two horizontal monitors at work. Is that lawful neutral good or neutral good lawful?

Personally, I think it's probably neutral awful - one is HDMI and the other is VGA.

I use a 42" 4K monitor. Same working area as 4 x 21" 1920x1080 screens but more flexible. Been doing so for ~10 years. When my old 39" 4K monitor broke I used 2 x 24 inch monitors + laptop screen for a while but I ended up buying another big monitor instead, it's just so convenient.

You forgot just laptop and my other screens are just pretty pictures. Covid really changed how I work hahaha

Chaotic good. I refuse to get rid of the little one. My electronics only leave me when they're fubar.

I'm a reverse Lawful Neutral; laptop on the left, monitor on the right.

Before that I had a 16:9 monitor on the left and a 4:3 monitor on the right. That doesn't seem to be in the chart anywhere.

Seriously, someone needs to start making high-quality 4:3 monitors again. Sure, they're not great for movies and modern video games, but they're great for reading.

Chaotic evil baby. I need somewhere to read long documents, manga, man pages and configs.

I'm lawful neutral monitorally but ideologically chaotic neutral. This and that then.

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

The "tie fighter" setup of vertical, horizontal, vertical, gives me nausea

I am chaotic good at home with a 4K and a laptop screen

But at work it’s all 1080 monitors (unfortunately) so I have 3 and I a mix of chaotic neutral and lawful evil 😂 2 portraits then a landscape

Not a programmer, but I run Neutral Good + Lawful Neutral at the office, because my work issued a docking station with two symmetrical monitors, but they also issued me a laptop instead of a desktop, so what am going to do, not use the third monitor?

So, it's ugly, but it works since I either put baseball on one of the big monitors or Spotify on the laptop, and work on the other two.

Lawful Evil at work Neutral Good at home Shockingly accurate about more than just the monitors!

Lawful neutral, though my laptop is up on a stand to bring it to the height of the monitor, so maybe chaotic good?

Gaming setup is true neutral Work from home setup is lawful neutral Office setup is chaotic evil

Lawful Neutral + Chaotic Evil...

I have so many screens...

Chaotic good but smaller monitor is on the left, only because I had one shitty monitor I got on sale right out of high school and eventually bought a much nicer but slightly smaller one later.

Neutral good for personal. Lawful good for work.

I’m pretty sure I’m Chaotic Evil with 2x 1920x1200, 2x 1024x1200, a 1920x1080 and one 1366x768 but I don’t run any vertical anymore, so maybe not?

Chaotic good looking to become chaotic gooder with a third misshapen monitor.

Honestly, these days I just work directly on my laptop. Get to use touchpad gestures which is nice, grilling my hands under CPU load maybe less nice.

It's usually enough to just alt+tab between my IDE and browser, so my workflow hasn't suffered much.

Lawful Neutral reporting in!

Chaotic neutral vibin with stream on the right and game on front

Chaotic good but I REALLY vibe with that chaotic evil

I suppose I'm technically true neutral since I have a vertical monitor on one side and my laptop on the other.

I have four screens from four different manufacturers, with three different sizes, three different resolutions, two different aspect ratios and two different refresh rates.
Two of these are resurrected from the dead of which one has a high voltage cold cathode driver externally plastered to it's back (because the internal failed and there was no space inside) and the other one shining from every pore because I "replaced" one cold cathode tube by plastering the "replacement" tube somewhere in the housing of the monitor to fool the driver into thinking all tubes are fine (one was defect, the driver doesn't work without every tube connected and putting the replacement in the place where it should belong is too much work).
I am basically the evil necromancer of chaotic evil.

1. 27 inch, 1440p, 16:9, 144Hz, Asus
2. 24 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz (driver sticking out), BenQ
3. 21 inch, 1080p, 16:9, 60Hz, Iiyama
4. 21 inch, 1680x1050p, 16:10, 60Hz, Eizo

I can provide pictures later today if someone's interested.
Edit: Here are the pictures

I'm a combination of neutral good and lawful neutral. 2 identical monitors + laptop.

Permanently Deleted

Due to a mistake I made, I'm chaotic good instead of neutral good. Current set-up is a 27" 1080p HDMI on the left, and 24" 1080p VGA on the right. Not too much in a hurry to replace my smaller monitor though, I need to upgrade my graphics card first to allow for a HDMI-HDMI configuration at least.

Chaotic neutral isn't that bad when you're doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.

I've been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.

I'm on the third Z axis of this chart

two screens same size to the front, laptop on a riser to my left, at a right angle, third, smaller screen to the left of that connected to a second laptop

waiting for the "they're all evil" because using windows

I'd swap lawful evil and neutral evil.

I'm neutral impoverished.

Chaotic neutrals wya?! Especially when I was using a Mac for work with ShiftIt

My setup isn't featured, but it's basically neutral good with the laptop below it in the middle.

I guess I'm chaotic neutral. I've never had enough money to buy two of the same monitor. All of my stuff is stuff I got either for free from school or for extremely cheap.

Lawful evil, but with ultrawide monitors.

So if you have a monitor hooked up to a desktop on the left, and a separate laptop running a different OS on the right, is it lawful neutral or true neutral x 2?

Chaotic good. I got an older smaller 720p monitor as second. Hey if it works.

Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I'm playing games

Once I got a widescreen monitor, I finally ditched the rest and only use my laptop as the extra screen. So lawful neutral but set up like lawful evil but lower.

CN for those scanned PDFs. What am I gonna do, zoom in like some kind of animal?

Chaotic Neutral, if you align the secondary monitor right Everything Works™

So, Lawful Neutral is just broke? Hunh... (Counts on fingers: druids, monks, cloistered scholars...) Yeah, that tracks.

Also, ofc I'm Chaotic Neutral. Pfft. I blame Elite Dangerous, as I was once Neutral Good, but then discovered what the game was like on an Index, and then there was no reason for the monitors to start that way anymore. 🤷🏼‍♂️

All of these are good and sometimes necessary except the bottom-right.

I've been neutral good, chaotic good and chaotic neutral in the past and am now lawful evil. No idea what that is supposed to mean though xD

So, would using a monitor and a phone screen be lawful neutral too? Because that's what I usually do if I need to look up things for whatever I'm doing and don't want to boot up my desktop web browser.

At work I have chaotic neutral but I slot my laptop underneath the landscape screen so it fits snugly in the corner.

I have a chaotic neutral setup for work.

Chaotic neutral except i have a vertical one on each side like a big H. I do a lot of document writing

We have neutral evil at my work and it sometimes hurts my soul.

Hey my old monitor setup isn't here.

Main display is normal with a laptop underneath, a vertical display to the left with a laptop display on the bottom under the first monitor

Lawful Good, but they're all different sizes. So.. Chaotic Good? Chaotic Evil? Who knows.

Somewhere between chaotic neutral & chaotic evil here.

One of a pair as portrait, the other as landscape; laptop left-aligned with landscape & base-aligned with portrait for an appropriately unholy trio.

I also use workspaces and screen sessions for maximal WTFery.

I'm off the chart. I have 2 mismatched monitors - a 27" and 34", and the 34 one is an ultrawide. It's wider than the other, but their bezels still line up.

What about square screens?

inb4 chaotic neckpain

I'm both chaotic good and lawful neutral, depending if it's for my job or not. I suppose that's a fair assessment of the difference between my professional character and home character.

Chaotic neutral - Laptop + larger monitor

What if I use a 48 inch OLED TV as a monitor?

A neat trick I learned recently. The vertical /smaller/secondary monitor should go on different sides for different people. Hold a finger close to your face and close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye more closely matches the both-eye image is your dominant eye and is where your secondary monitor should go.

Chaotic Evil is that stupid hacking computer in Swordfish.

I'm at Chaotic Neutral, but my sim racing rig is Lawful Evil, so combined I guess it becomes Chaotic Evil.

And I love it.

I think the closest is chaotic good although I have three monitors, two smaller ones on each side and a bigger one in the center so kinda lawful good too.

I have a second monitor at the upper left of my primary one

The wallpaper

Ex Lawful Evil, and If J had a secondary screen again I would to the same!

What is 3 landscape monitors with 1 portrait monitor?

I guess I'm lawful neutral good since I have two similarly sized screens plus the laptop screen. Just can't let screen real estate go to waste!

Chaotic good alignment upsets my OCD the most

I love the Linus looking through the window background! I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it yet.

This just seems random, but then I remember the 24 bad guys in Evil CTU using vertical monitors, so maybe there’s something in it.

What is neutral good called when the user keeps a large space between the monitors? That's pretty much all of my coworkers, and it drives me nuts.

i have chaotic neutral right now -- would it be insane to have the middle monitor be vertical then the side be horizontal? i usually use the horizontal for videos or sports but that makes more sense off to the side, then vertical is great for scrolling

I guess I'm neutral evil? I call shenanigans.

Chaotic Neutral. Sounds about right.

I replaced four 32" 1080p monitors with a single 65" 4K TV so that I could have a bezel-free experience. Where do I fall on this chart?

I'm lawful neutral but I never look at my laptop screen when it's hooked up to the external monitor.

I’m chaotic good (but with the smaller one on the left)

Chaotic neutral on my work desk, lawful good on the gaming desk. Priorities.

Used to be a chaotic neutral, but realised that a full screen video doesn't work well with a display in portrait orientation (and even if I have a laptop below, it's too small). Neutral good right now with two 27"s; might add a 34" later on.

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

Apparently the school requires me to be at the extreme end of lawful neutral. Two views, nonidentical, very different in size.

True neutral right now, but since I'm already here, does anyone know if curved monitor is viable as a secondary display? I already have the monitor around, but since it's not rotatable I can't really try this setup for myself.

It'd be 27' 1440p flat horizontally (main) and 24' 1080p curved vertically next to it.

Lawful neutral. I use a laptop instead of a desktop so I have no choice. I would get a second monitor but it would things very cramped.

Lawful neutral for me.

Single monitor setup coming through. 🫠

Update with 5x5 grid and add ultrawide and HD/4k/Smartphone mixes.

I'm lawful neutral at the office, and true neutral at home!

Did no one notice the Linus meme face taking place of the Winblows flag?

Neutral good originally, but I find lawful evil to be faaaaarrr better. Tilting my head up or down for extended periods feels a lot better than turning left or right

I'm in between chaotic neutral and neutral evil I guess.

2 portrait displays with a landscape display in the middle. Teams on the left, Outlook on the right, main content in the middle.

I have chaotic good

Chaotic neutral converted to true neutral when my 2nd one broke then I realized I didn't miss it much

Lawfull good but got the laptop screen in the middle below

True neutral. Only people with incapable OSs need multiple screens rather than having that one screen display what they want. 🙃
