Using small vs multiple or wide vs large monitors

2024-11-06 00:00

When I’m at work I typically find myself with a multiple monitor setup. Currently with multiple regular shaped ones, but typically during the last few years ultra wide ones. And at home I’m either laptop screen only or with a 4k 27” screen.

When I’m on the laptop screen I typically find myself using Stage Manager and full size windows most of the time. And when I use an ultra wide screen I typically don’t use stage manager but treat it in a similar way, just more like as if it was three laptop screens in one.

But when I have a large screen, like the one I have at home, I typically find myself using differently sized windows just floating around using all the tools in macOS. Spaces, hiding, minimizing etc.
