But, given a single large very high resolution monitor and a tiling WM, don't you get the same in the end but with vastly simpler hardware setups?

If you are so keen on the 'physical separation' then perhaps a WM that includes some synthetic black bars to give defined visual separation of tiles?

You didn't specify what resolutions your monitors are running. Out of curiosity, what are they?



With my WM, I can switch the workspace of each of my three monitors independently. If I only had a single monitor, such composition really wouldn't be possible (unless you specifically built a WM capable of doing so).


i have 2880x1800 on the mbp, and 4-6x 1440x900/1280x0124 or whatever on the others (depending on which i find).
