What is the placement of better monitor?

  1. 1. When you have 2 different monitors, which side does the better of the two go?

    • Left
    • Right
    • Top

    • Bottom

When you have 2 different monitors, either as a gamer who upgraded to a 144hz screen or an artist who could only afford 1 pro display XDR, you have to place one monitor next to the other if you planed to use both. I want to know where and why you place your monitor where you do, even if the answer is ‘it felt natural’.
 

For me, everytime I get a new monitor, the oldest one gets trashed, and everything shifts to the left to make room for the new fastest screen on the right.

Honestly I've done all of these and it just depends on the set up

 

At work I have secondary on the left, at home I have secondary on the right- both feel "Normal"

If I have just 2 primary is on the left, but generally with 3 primary is in the middle.

I have a secondary (pretty bad) 60hz 21” monitor next to my laptop. I put it on the right side mostly because that’s how it fit best on my desk. When I had the same screen next to my iMac (pls don’t judge it was before I knew anything about computers) it was on the left.


I leave the primary screen where it was and put the secondary where it fits best on the desk.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

I have my better monitor in the center, and the secondary to the left.
