Interesting to imagine what mac'ing would feel like to have this big of a screen. I don't think it's for me (I use dual 25-inchers, which are fine), but it'd be fun to try it out.

I have a 2017 iMac (22") hooked up to an LG 43" display (LG 43MU79-B). I do mostly page layout & forms and typing work, so it works out great for me.

32" for me. I get headaches with anything smaller, including my MBP.

I use a 19" with my 27" iMac. We run Mail on the 19" all the time.

We had a video station hooked to a 55" HDTV at the school. The finished videos were broadcast to classrooms that each had the same TV in them. Made for great consistancy.

ok, you gotta share a pic of this setup, zoid.

I use a 32" 1440p LG monitor shared amongst 3 machines, so I could see using a 40" 4K which is what that looks like. I might pay more attention to color temperature than that person though.

Same setup I have been running for a few years.

30" Apple Cinema Display in portrait mode on the left
2x 34" curvedLG Thunderbolt 3 displays in the middle, one on top of another with the top one pitched at a 20 or so degree angle towards me.
MacBook Pro 16" on a floating platform on my right.

I utilize all the displays all the time and run DisplayMaid to automagically move my windows where they belong on reconnect each time

Jamie, do you have a 3rd party monitor stand for stacking those two 34s?

I used to have a 3 monitor set up (2x22, 1x24), and switched over to a 40" 4K tv.

It's a little bit uncrisp at the corners (that may be my aging vision), but otherwise it's fantastic for the kind of work I do-mostly creating and manipulating text documents.

I mean, I can have six nearly full size pages up simultaneously! One time I was on deadline, and I was able to move text across all six pages in a flash. My estimate was that it reduced a 1 hour job down to 15 minutes.

The other thing it's amazing for is BIG spreadsheets. Lemme take a look, here...

Ok, it opens up to 30 columns by 59 rows, full screen. For some of my projects, I can use everyone of those rows and columns! No scrolling--what an amazing luxury!

FWIW, it was a $225 Vizio from Costco. This coming year I'll probably upgrade to a Sony 43" 80J--a bit wider, but an IPS screen, so hopefully those corners will be crisper.

I’d need a booster seat or to tilt my head in an uncomfortable position to use the top half.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Just switched from a 20" 2nd screen for a 15" MacBook Pro to a new 16" MacBookPro with a 32" 4K LG. I had to adjust the scaling settings nearly immediately as it became clear I would not be able to read text without leaning forward all of the time.

It's so big that the only configuration I can think of has the bottom left corner slightly hidden behind the MBP screen. It has taken several days getting used to it but I could probably never go back.

When I still worked in the office I had dual 24's up top and an old Wacom 21" Cintiq LCD centered below. Probably a better balance, ergonomically.

yeah, no way that first setup works unless the guy is 6'5"?

Damn, rz. That would be a sight to see, and it's got me thinking. Can you share the make and model?

Dual 32s seem OK to me. Ive posted my 3 monitor setup before -- 70" wide.

If the new big imac comes out, it will stay in the middle. if a new "max" mini comes out, depending on options would replace the imac with a 32" 4K

24" 1920 x 1080, 27" 2560 X 1440 5K iMac , 27" 2560 X 1440 Dell 4K S Series. 7100 pixels wide

quick photo, desk is messy, coming off deadline, big cleanup over break.



and Ive run dual monitors forever, 3 just for the last 5 years. I had this desk starting about 1991 -- with a 90 LB 24" Sony FW900 @ 1920 x 1200 + second 17" Viewsonic screen

I never tire of seeing others' setup, and hearing about individual workflow, file management, keyboard shortcut setups, all that. Great pics.

Not really. Your head would be a lot higher than the back of the chair so worst case you would be looking up only slightly to see the top of the screen.
