All respect to Suzanne (Spiceworks) and her excellent IT Alignment chart ( IT Alignment Chart ), but I think this may be a more important question. What is your monitor alignment?

I am sitting at three right now, if i thought I could get away with a fourth I would do it.

I have two of the same size at work but they’re not symmetrically arranged. Primary is a little closer and more in front.

I am not sure what to call it: I have 4 monitors that are set up like a cross between neutral good and lawful evil. Or maybe 2 lawful evils?

edit: Above is at work. At home it is neutral good.

Suzanne-Spiceworks · 2022-06-02T12:08:40.000Z

None of these fits mine. For home I have a laptop screen in between two vertical monitors, and at work I have a laptop screen in between two horizontal (because they don’t have a vertical option). So… a cross between lawful neutral, and neutral good and evil depending on the space?

ich-ni-san · 2022-06-02T12:11:33.000Z

Which one should I have selected for…

This is why 3x3 grids don’t work…

Three external monitors with the laptop lid open and an iPad in front of me.

eric7615 · 2022-06-02T12:19:08.000Z

Lawful good at work (kind of mine is 2 monitors and the laptop monitor setup) and lawful Neutral at home.

Repairatrooper · 2022-06-02T12:22:23.000Z

There are too many options to fit in the chart. I would be lawful good but my left monitor is portrait. Which I guess makes me LGWAT (lawful good with a twist)

brianinca · 2022-06-02T12:24:32.000Z

I think my network admin is aiming for lawful evil!

alayjha · 2022-06-02T12:26:21.000Z

I am lawful neutral for both.

mweed · 2022-06-02T12:26:35.000Z

Looks like I’m “lawfully good”. However, you didn’t bother to ask about what’s connected to those monitors. At home, the right monitor in my setup is connected through a HDMI selector, and depending on what I’m doing it may be a third monitor for the main PC, displaying a 2nd PC, my Raspberry Pi 400, or the Blu-ray player.

Here is my alignment with the one in the middle being supported by a Mac Mini box because it’s what I had at the time!

shnool · 2022-06-02T12:35:58.000Z

34 LG inch wide/curved 4k on left, high resolution 14 inch Surface on right
plus off view 55 inch 4k on wall.

I guess I am lawful neutral so I voted wrong.

What if at home I’m typing on a chromebook but also displaying things on the 65" TV several feet away?

NULL · 2022-06-02T13:03:31.000Z

Mine is the mirror image of ich.ni.san’s picture.

I have the same setup at work.

Of course Windows 11, with all of its “improvements” in handling docking configurations, cannot remember what goes where when I first dock either place, so I would call the period of time where I am fixing it all “chaotic pissed-off” but that wasn’t an option.

bytemeoftn · 2022-06-02T13:09:58.000Z

I’m definitely a neutral good at work. Home is absolute chaos because I like it!

Stay_Dandy · 2022-06-02T13:17:01.000Z

I like my “lawful good” work setup with my laptop underneath the middle one. I feel like I am in a space ship cockpit. I wish I had the same at home but due to my limited desk space I have my laptop with a monitor connected to the side.
