hi, I usually work with 4 windows when doing "managerial" things, and it works just fine. Then I have email, calendar, todo list, and notes opened at the same time. I do have two central windows a bit larger, like 150px larger then others. which means that peripheral windows are a bit smaller. But it is a bit squeeze sometimes, so I tend to open some windows a bit larger then others and they overlap. Works fine, as I can just slick on the one that I need to see. photoshop, lightroom and premiere pro would go in full screen, as they have their own windows inside anyway. When I am doing some specific task, I have a button that enlarges that window to a double size, and I have it single in front of me. And When I am doing something specific for some time, like coding or studying, I might rearrange the configuration, or open more or less windows. But I would not use over four windows, if you need them in full height (like 5 outlooks and things like that). Depends on the app as well, some are useful, but some are useless if resized under a certain point.

@@ApplicableProgramming thank you very much. Sounds like I should give a try. :-D I need to check now which one. As there are some in the market now. Manyy thanks. 🙂

Great question. I am sure Dell has something like this, but I just resize the browser so that the video is "full size", and have code on the side. I do this with pretty much everything else, reference, documentations, writing scripts for youtube etcetera. I just resize the window to fit, and I get by just fine :)

Haha, let me guess... you will not have three monitors on your desk?

Thanks man, I really appreciate comments like this. Life got in a way of happiness (making videos), so it took quite some time between them. Any suggestions on next video topic? :)

@ApplicableProgramming It would be very nice if you made a course coding a real-life project using a framework.

Thank you for the comment kind stranger! :) I tried Mac back in the days of first Mac Mini. Hated every moment of it. Don't get me wrong, I do not like Windows either, but at least I am used to hating it, and know its quirks well enough to survive with it :)

that is cool man! How did you find the video if I may ask, did TH-cam figure out you live in Bergen and show it to you?

glad you found it useful.. It was a video I wish existed before I purchased this screen :)

yeah sharing is a bitch. But have you tried DisplayFusion or Fancy Zones, not working for you?

great question - I do not use docking station. The monitor has a USB-C input, and laptop outputs native resolution to the screen with that USB-C cable. Laptop also gets 90W of power, and USB hub that is built in into the monitor - all that over the very same usb-c cable. So there is only one USB-C cable going directly into the monitor that is transferring 90W power, video feed AND all usb devices like keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor so that laptop can use them. So no hubs, one single usb-c cable

@@ApplicableProgramming This is a beautiful solution, I didn't know about using a usb-c hub built into the monitor itself and so when I purchased a Samsung Odyssey G9, I assumed the HDMI and DP ports would be sufficient. Unfortunately my monitor did not come with this type of a hub and so I'm stuck trying to find an external hub that supports 5K resolution - no luck so far, thanks for your prompt response!

Oh that is real shame.. i honestly didn't even know anything about that when i ordered the screen, it was just luck it was so (and dell is more focused on professional office features then Samsung)

Thank you for your kind words man, glad you are enjoying this project. Greetings to Egypt!

@@ApplicableProgramming I am a little bit lost! if you don't mind helping me just directing me not more, please send me any contact to you, an email or so.

Thank you for your kind words. That sounds like a great plan :) Also, do not be afraid of starting a version 3, 4 and 5. Or even better, do not be afraid of refactoring your existing application over time - that is the best way to learn new skills :) good luck, and feel free to ask any questions along the way :)

Ah thank you for your kind words!

glad you liked it!

That could actually be the case, I've never tried it to be honest. Is it good for other things in addition to coding?

Ha, I wish.. It probably got worse :) I hate seeing cables, but I even more hate hiding them - and then figuring out that something needs to change, and having to adjust it later. So... I compromise, I do them once in two year, and let new cables accumulate :)

thank you, glad you liked the video :)

that is true, but... false at the same time. You could make the same argument on having two small cars instead of one family, so that if one stops you can still drive in the other. If we are talking statistics and "what if", there are actually higher chance of one of three monitors dying - then a single one. Just by having three monitors, you triple your chances of failure. But I get your thoughts, I do have one crappy screen as backup (just as I have spare wheel as backup). I just think that same reasoning could be applied to any situation (better to have two small motorcycles then one large, two small laptops then one powerful, etc etc). Guarantee is the same for all monitors

hm... I know what you mean, but... It works fine for me. I show in this very video how I am using this monitor for coding, and it works just fine for both frontend and backend. You can also watch my other video where I go in depth for frontend and backend, and other tasks and see how I (and many other colleagues) use it in our daily work th-cam.com/video/kp55gHQwYlk/w-d-xo.html

@@ApplicableProgramming indeed it was an amazing video. I will thank youtube algorithm for finding your channel. I'm one of those users who can't use ultra wide as I will lose too much information in the corners. Actually in my work place i have 2 screens and if both are side to side i lose sight of the corners. My fav configuration for office work is 27" horizontal + 24" in vertical. It works amazing for me. As per home i'm still trying to find my setup. Like a single 3/2 monitor or just continue using 32" 4k screen. As there are many ultra wide types maybe I can find something that's not so long and I could actually use until the corners.

The problem with this monitor is it’s awful non-existent curve…

Do you find it difficult to see edges?

@@ApplicableProgramming yep, that’s the big problem with monitor… a 1000R curve would be ideal I think!

Thank you for your nice comment, glad you enjoyed the content. I do plan on being active, just when the time permits it. It takes a lot of time writing good, non-trivial tutorials. would you like to see something similar for JavaScript? Or something non-code related perhaps?

​@@ApplicableProgramming I hear ya, quality over quantity for sure. I would be interested in JavaScript videos like this as well or anything about improving code. I'm just mostly self-taught so it's nice to see someone critique code of which I can apply to my code since I don't have an actual teacher telling me what I'm doing right or wrong.

hi, I would not know that, I do not have surface laptop 4 available to test. I guess that is more a question for the laptop, then the monitor. The monitor itself doesn't care what you have connected to it, so you have to ask that question on the laptop support page, giving them the specs for this monitor. good luck finding the answer!

Thanks for your comment, it is comments like these that keep me pushing even harder. and I do think about what you said a lot. I know I am way too slow and it hurts the numbers of the "youtube game". But I just struggle of letting it go, I really do. I am probably not yet ready or serious enough about the youtube project to let complicated production go and just focus on getting the videos out. It is difficult. I've seen other channels grow past mine, as you mentioned Primeagen and few others, and I do enjoy watching them myself, but... I kinda do not see myself as one of the successful people in the youtube game. It is difficult :) and it keeps burning in me as I am more and more certain that I am hurting my channel. But something still keeps me on the "complicated" side of doing things difficult and slow and complex... having that said I almost every day do something on the youtube business side, either write some scripts, or make some courses that will be released some day. But I am just definitively waaay to slow with releasing videos. Each time I tried pushing harder or faster - it hurt my motivation and I felt exhausted and stressed, so I now do not push deadlines anymore at all. Not to sound like a cliche youtuber, but if you want you can help. Share some of these videos with colleagues or friends who might find them useful, I would really appreciate it :) Btw, is there something you would like me to talk about?

Ha, and people say that AI is useless :) Thank you for your kind words, I am glad that this tutorial was helpful. Dloc, yeah... I've been using it since the beginning, and... kept it. We used to have configuration per domain, so everyone had LOC, and i worked remote so I needed different config, thus I had Dloc (as in Dalibor LOC :) ) but I agree with you now, it just adds unneeded confusion...

Thank you, I do enjoy doing it, hopefully others like it as well :)

what are you referring to exactly, that router explanation was confusing?

yeah, that is a on-off feature you can control in storm as well. I have it on by default, but in toturials it just jumps all over the place, and it is difficult to follow, so I turned it off.

well well, congratulations! I hope you will not find it depressing, but it just changes life. I remember when my former boss told me he never missed gaming or single life, he just did other things with family, and he is equally happy, he just does other things, and a bit differently. And honestly, i would not change it any other way :) all the best, and... don't watch youtube late at night - get some sleep, you will need it ;)

thank you sir! I just made a video I whish existed when I was buying the monitor..

@@ApplicableProgramming Your channel is totally underrated. I recently started to learn coding and I already watched like 10 videos of you. I subscribed and will continue to watch your stuff :-)

@Kay-sd8ew ah so nice to hear that sir! Are you working as something else, or still learning?

@@ApplicableProgramming I'm currently serving in the German army since 2017, but I'm on my way back to civilian life. I've got 12 months to learn everything before I need to apply for a job. Plenty of time! I started with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, next will be Python and CS50 by Harvard. :-)

sorry for late reply, vacation and life. the one in the video was Dell precision 5570, a portable workstation. Overkill for programming, but does the job

Hi, the screen does not care which laptop or desktop you have. If you want your laptop to charge via single cable, then it needs to support usb-c charging. If not, then you can use hdmi from laptop, and regular usb cable to access monitor built in usb hub

I see the text fine, no issues there. Some monitors are better and clearer obviously, the ones that have high DPI, like the laptop in the video that has a 4k display in 15inch size, it is ridiculously sharp and clear. But not that much so that I find it problematic, I can just notice it

Glad i could help! Consider sharing with someone who might benefit from the video

Thank you for your kind words mister! Glad to have you here :) (If you think someone else needs to hear this, feel free to share :) )

hehe, I guess people do not pay enough attention to details :) thanks for sticking to the end btw :)

yeah that is a good point... i am a big fan of checklists and written processes for things, cheatsheets and likes. So I see this as a useful cheat sheet for sure. Maybe use some AI to create one?

yeah, 34 is great for two apps side by side, but that means you will always have your head turned more to one side only. And that is pretty much the solution of having two monitors side by side, a pretty bad for health if you ask me :( but it is great if you use single app full screen, and can utilize the realestate

Thank you very much mister!

like 3 monitors in this comparison? th-cam.com/video/kp55gHQwYlk/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for watching man, welcome to the video!

Glad you liked the video, glad you joined facebook group!

Thank you for watching mister!`

That is a Moonlander keyboard, from the company named ZSA. It is actually awesome for programming, and general use. Most importantly it reduces shoulder and wrist pain significantly....

I guess you need to specify property for each database row now. Or use magic setters and getters

haha, nice try mister!
