  • I’m a 3 monitor person as well. 34" ultrawide as my main with two 24" widescreens side-to-side immediately above it. I use it for work and personal use.
    Ultrawide has my main programs for work: internet browsers and job specific programs get about 60% of the real estate on the left, while pdf’s, and other less essential programs go to the right 40% of the screen.
    The top left monitor gets Teams, Excel docs, or auxiliary browsers.
    Top right gets email and media (YouTube, Spotify, etc) or any overfill if I’m dealing with a particularly cluttered job.

    For personal, ultrawide is obviously used for games, movies, etc, while top left has task manager, MSI Afterburner, and Throttlestop (I run a laptop). And the top right has Discord.












  • I didn’t want to risk damaging it as I needed it for work. It was much safer to upgrade and then try to experiment with the S8. There’s also the fact they stopped giving the S8 security updates, so that’s a big concern, too.
    After having used the S23, I couldn’t go back anymore. It’s significantly better in most ways. I always keep battery saver mode on which stops charging at 85%. With how much I use my phone, the charge rarely goes below 40%.

    I did try Sony’s 5 IV before the S23. I really wanted to love it, but as a photographer, there were some fatal flaws with the camera apps. It had so much going for it, too: 5000 mAh battery (S23’s is 3900 mAh, S8’s is 3000), audio jack, microSD card slot, removable SIM card, 4k OLED screen, a dedicated shutter button for the cameras, and can record 4k 120Hz video, if only for a literal minute.
    If you don’t plan on using your phone for more professional photos (even though that’s kind of what they market it for…), I would recommend checking out their lineup.
    Edit: Oh, and Sony only officially supports their phones for two years. Compare that with Samsung’s 5. So that’s another thing to consider.



  • Let’s see how long it will work; there’s a reason almost no phone manufacturer includes that feature. Sony has it on some of their phones like the 5 IV. The problem is you can record for maybe a minute before the phone starts to overheat and has to stop recording.

    It will get so hot a warning will pop up on screen telling you to watch where you touch the phone or you could burn yourself. Maybe Samsung will have figured out the overheating issue, but I expect it to be a problem.
