Yeah, I've been a two-monitor guy for the last 15 years or so, but the desk I DESIGNED, made it two landscape monitors and while I built in expansion space, it was horizontal, so I improved from 20in monitors to the current 27in Samsungs. Now, I have a NEW computer arriving sometime in the next 15 months (I have to finish a project to have the dinero to splurge and I use Windows 7 hating the prospect of being FORCED into Win 10 next summer). And a new desk on the other side of the room, with a triple monitor setup, the vertical going in the centre so that I have WINGS of a sort. The problem then becomes the number of columns WIDE everything is!! I have a half-dozen semi-mission critical user columns in my main libraries. Even in the recreation libraries, there's #xstatus, #readrank (this for how hot am I to read it, 0 being best), Pgs, Omni (Omnibus, Anthology, or multiple whatever), #fvol (Final Volume, to complete the Series number ... like Series=1, FVol = 5 and the Omni checkbox = yes) and #kovids (My 10 pt based ratings, since ranking doesn't allow 2.5 for an average book). In an odd way, it's ALMOST like a decimal system AFTER determining the ranking. A 5 ranking with nine Kovids isn't perfect. But a 5.10 is. Similarly, a 5.9 is better than a 4.9. Over-complicated, I know, but I'm protective about what books I rate a perfect 10 Kovids.
Do I know how to butter up the creator or what????
Having strayed far, I will tell you there's NO solution that satisfies all my needs. But tightening the authors field, the series field and using a vertical monitor that's REALLY got a great pixel dimension set, comes close.
