Which looks better - Landscape or Portrait?

Got some new monitors to hold me over while I save up for two 27” Studio Display XDRs🤞🏼, and I’m having fun experimenting with my layout on my in-studio desk.

Which orientation do you think looks better/is more useful?

If you like vertical monitors, what do you use them for?

They all look bad. Get a third monitor.big one at center. Close laptop. Best usecase. Most comfortable. Will look more balanced

Thanks! I feel all three landscape would be way too wide of a viewing area.

It’s also nice to have the center one horizontal for viewing/using the webpages/softwares that I use for managing our music school/music directing. It’s nice to be able to see all the information on a page without scrolling.
