I have 4 screens and depending on them I use it vertically and
horizontaly.
The vertical ones I use because I like it better. It also is not in the
way of e.g. the brower. It gives me just a bit more brower estate, as
text tend to go not as wide. Think e.g. Imgur.com
As screens are wider than they are long I can put two of them next to
each other and still have a good experience.
The horiwontal ones I use for e.g. the screen that I use to watch
movies. They will no be in the way of where the movie is. I make that
one transparent when I am not over it, have it in front of other
programs, so I do not see it when I watch a movie, but can go and change
to a diffeent desktop if I so desire.
As I have different screens, I have had issues with (I think. Unable to
verify as I am not on my machine) the volume that only was able to show
on one at a time.
Kind regards,
houghi
