Two monitors suck, don't fall for it. Traded out my 24" & 27" setup for a single 32" and loving it
The key is triple monitors so you don't have a bezel in the middle of your field of view.
One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.
Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).
Im a huge fan of a second monitor in portrait so that you can have what ever service you are using to chat on it and music at the same time.
I'd prefer maps that come in the box. My most precious game is Jade empire special edition, that concept art book and everything is still with me after moving half a dozen times.
Triple monitors. Highest quality in the center. One off to the side for videos/discord/other side programs. One off to the side mounted vertically for reading documents and web pages.
I had the goofiest setup years ago... It was a single 16:9 1080p in the middle, with two 4:3 (1024x768?) monitors rotated. The sizes were just right so the pixel density was the same, and the sides only had a little bit of overscan when joined to imitate an ultrawide.___
I'm more a fan of identical triple monitors and keeping them all in the same orientation (all vertical for doing a lot of programming; all horizontal for everything else), but that might just be my perfectionism coming through.
So what you're saying is, 3x 32".
(I do lots of racing games)
Got a curved 45" ultrawide. It's one of the highlights of my day sitting in front that thing.
Still, dual monitors can be useful for sure. It may look 'messy', but definitely functional.
false, I use a 32 inch and another 32 inch one 4k the other 1080, I hold the terminal on one monitor and its pretty useful, alternatively keep youtube music on it, but I don't think a third monitor would be useful unless it was a vertical one.
I've been thinking about getting one of those little vertical displays that are like 8 inches wide for status info. I have enough screen real estate but being able to load up certain things in it to monitor would be cool.
I have a dual 27” 4k setup, one of which is portrait. I like it a lot, but every time I see my friends ultra wide I consider switching to one. I just can’t justify spending $1k when what I have works well enough.
