40" here. I've never thought of using xrandr itself. That sounds handy for how I'm using bspwm... any example links with how this works?

I use a script to switch between various splits.

Some programs don't support this xrandr feature very well. (The problem is that they show popup-menus on the wrong submonitor if they were opened _after_ splitting the screen). My workaround is to start all programs before splitting the screen, and all menus etc seem to work properly then.
