Currently just one 27" 1440p 180Hz IPS, eventually I hope to add an OLED as my primary display and put the current one off to the side in portrait
Went back to a single monitor: 32" 1440p at home, 24" 1080p at work. The 32" is big enough to have two windows side-by-side, so I rarely miss having two screens.
Yeah I find moving my neck to the side difficult. But I find two windows not enough. Might need a bigger single monitor.
32" with 27" on the side.
Barely using the 2nd monitor.
Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).
I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.
Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.
2 Asus 27" 1440p monitors center and right. 1 Dell 4k ultrasharp on the left and my laptop display underneath. My own PC connects to the two Asus; my work laptop connects to the Dell and center Asus and depending on if it is work time or play time, I swap the input on the center monitor. Input director provides mouse and keyboard access across both machines and works really really well. I do use all 4 monitors throughout the day; the personal machine isn't tied into work but with input director the clipboard is shared across for copying and posting information found on searches etc. I work remotely.
Dell CRT on the left, HP 4k 60hz center, Acer 1080p 144hz IPS on the right
When I'm working it's laptop on the left connected to a 34" UW as my main display and a 32" on the right, both curved. For personal stuff it's the same minus the laptop. I'm thinking about switching back to my old setup which was 32" main with a 24" in portrait on each side. Not that useful for personal use, but for work I could use even more...
In the livingroom it's a 65" TV...
Two 27" 1440p, one being straight in front and one angled to the side
I just have 1 25" one.. I do want a second one, but you know :3.. life
You can probably find a shitty monitor for cheap off Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. I bought a shitty VA monitor for $20 like ten years ago and it's still part of my setup
Don't really see a point to getting a shit one tbh x3
A cheap monitor for Discord or whatever beats no monitor
2 24 inch AOC monitors.
