What does your desk look like?

Good to know, thanks.
I actually use that box as a local web/app/database server atop a Raid 0 of SSDs, so if it dies it dies anyway.

I am in Madrid today, right in the heart of things on Gran Via. Nice location.

Upgraded: 4320x2560.

@creayt That's really freaking weird... but strangely it seems to work

I have often wondered if that would be more useful or not. Still trying to decide though...

I'm offended for Iron Man that you put him in-league with inferior superheroes.

It's extremely useful for web browsing and coding. The only time I ever need a wide aspect ratio is when doing graphic design or database queries returning mass quantities of fields. For literally everything else the portrait orientation is spectacular, allowing you to scroll and scan much less while giving you a much more clear and present feel for the scope of any content ( which just feels great ).

I wonder how much eye/neck strain you'll end up with because you are looking up higher than normal?
I have users who complain about the width of two wide screen monitors, having to swing their head left to right and back to see everything.
I realize there is no perfect solution. I read last week that it's suggested to sit more to the left of your displays as it will cause you to be looking more straight ahead at the left monitor (assuming that's the default) and glancing to the right as needed, potentially causing less neck stress.

I couldn't deal with having the borders of the monitor bezel going through my horizontal space of the normal monitor like that.

I think you're thinking about it wrong. The horizontal space of each monitor is identical to that of a Retina MacBook Pro. You don't use them as one single monitor, you use them as three separate monitors, for segregating and partitioning resources in order to better iterate them or see multiple things at the same time.

That's the beautiful thing about these particular monitors. I ordered a few different models and tried them all for a day in a portrait setup like this. At 27 inches each and 2560x1440, you can sit back very far from them and still read small text comfortably ( at least I can, I have 20/20 according to my eye exam about 6 months ago, I realize that might not be the case for many ). 24-5 inch versions might work well for most people, but I'm very tall while sitting down and find this a perfect fit. I don't really move my head at all while I'm using them, you just dart your eyes around.
