Why have many monitor when few monitor do trick?
Finally a screen wide enough to display a single error in Java.
oh dear jesus … this sent me on a spin
that’s awful, thanks for sharing
This is so wrong and right on the same time!
29º represent!
Wayland isn’t ready until it can do that!
It actually can.
No extra protocol should be required for it.Just needs someone to implement it in their compositor.
Is there any use to having a DMM with a screen that large? (Off topic, but the o-scope caught my eye then the ‘mini o-scope’)
I literally cannot conceive of a more efficient arrangement of 17 monitors
As long as the monitors and space are squares and all monitors have the same side length
And the side of the space for monitors isn’t an integer multiple of the monitor side.
Where are you getting so many 1:1 monitors?
Ideal aspect ratio for sudoku

Here you go. 22 16:9 monitors.
I chose 22 monitors, because all other numbers have very expected results:

17 monitors:
So what’s that gap for?
You can clearly either fit a few more, or make the total area smaller.You are right, actually. I blindly trusted the computer to figure this one out, but just looking at it I found a better solution by hand. Maybe there really are some better solutions for the 22 monitors problem.

This better not end up in any scientific papers, ever.
To answer your question: fitting more monitors into these gaps would not result in the optimal placement for that amount of monitors. 23, 24, and 25 monitors all have “expected” results. And closing the remaining gap would not result in a smaller bounding box square.
Where can I buy this
Would Lemmy on Firefox look like this on the diagonal screens?This slaps though! Where are all the diamond monitors at??
Hmm, that is kind of cool, in that you can have text on all 4 sides and it’s still generally readable. Not really possible for vertical panels…
But it reduces the usable space in the middle, as any rectilinearly-designed webpages will have areas on the far left and right that aren’t viewable except in small parts while scrolling.
Oh yeah, I was kind of playing devil’s advocate. It is certainly also cursed in many ways…
where can I get square monitors?

Bolt cutters should work, no?
an angle grinder might be a better tool for the job
you could get the type that’s used for large led/micro led displays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBd7_uxrq6c
16 should be rotated 37 degree to the left
Who are you to think you know better than the computer that came up with this
Well my Machine always believes Displays have to be overlapping

Edit: someone already posted it somewhere is in the thread lmao
Make sure to implement the arbitrary angles in your Wayland compositor.
arbitrary angles
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
I cannot even conceive of how angles not based on 90° increments would render various things without issues. Or why you’d want that.
X11 already supports this lol
X11 supporting it likely doesn’t mean that all software would support it flawlessly. What about Wayland?
I mean I don’t see any reason why a Wayland compositor couldn’t support it, it’s pretty cursed either way though.
There’s a screenshot in one of the other comments in this thread (from owenfromcanda, I think the other screenshots are fake)
Also the table layout at my local Chinese restaurant
