No kidding.

Reminds me of when I did the epoxy garage floor in my last house. A painter friend advised me to put some type of anti-slip product in the epoxy. Great advise.

I think that was Tony Stark's garage.

New 2 ultrawide monitors are tad bit too big. Buying new mounts… debating to go side by side like now or do top & bottom. Never done top & bottom, so not sure how I’ll like it.

Anyone here who do top & bottom monitor setup have any feedback?

side/side is better. easier to move my head side/side than up/down.

at least look into electronics recycling. better than throwing it into some sort of government pit to allow the metals to leach into the ground water.

In that case, if the difference was 118 minutes, I think I would have driven to the hardware store....

EDIT: See that was already covered with missing the opportunity to go to Harbor Freight...

I couldn't do two like that, feels unbalanced even with the wide. I'd have to do either one or three. I could do two with one turned portrait for documents though, that can be handy for office work.

If my choice was side by side or up/down I'd do side by side. I don't see any advantage to up/down unless the up is primarily some type of monitor, something you only look like occasionally.

At home I have 3 27" standard monitors. At work I have 4. the far left is a 70" screen on the wall for meetings and system monitoring, including TV (Weather channel, news, etc), then two 27" monitors and my laptop screen.

Hey, now, while aviation snips have their place, I almost exclusively use a modern version of these on sheet metal. Nothing better, cut like butter and the edges can be sharpened and are replaceable.
