Triple monitor or Ultrawide?
Triple monitor or Ultrawide?
Ps5 with 4k tv
I dunno
You didn’t lost hentai feet so this’ll die
I have a 165 hz 1440p gsync monitor for games next to a regular 1080p monitor and a small huion pen display acting as a third monitor beneath it.
The 1080p is for watching shows because it's got better colors, for viewing maps or anything else related to the game running on the main screen. The pen display I use for discord, Spotify and emails.
An ultra wide meme monitor like in the OP is retarded, how would you arrange your shit in a useful manner?
Triple monitor with one of them in portrait mode
Ultrawide with a 2nd monitor or TV on the side.
This
Or two in portrait on the sides depending on what kinds of other stuff you do
How does Ultrawide work for playing games whilst browsing and watching stuff?
I understand you'd run the game in Windowed Borderless mode but would the fps/hrz be affected that it has to run and render multiple things on one screen?
>tfw to poor to play space sims with giant resolutions
this is my dream
the oldtimer in me is too used to fullscreening applications that it's gonna be a hassle to have 4~5 windows side by side just being undocked and flying on a wide-ass desktop.
Also I like one monitor to be in portrait for anything IRC/discord related.
how do I set vertical mode to one of the monitors
Triple.
Better you lose part of a setup in the case of failure than the whole thing, even if ultrawide wasn't a meme.
I joined the ultrawide club and it's better, trust me.
Once you configure your box so you can partition the monitor and have it function like two or three monitors but without gaps, it's so much better
I've got it set so if I press win+left the current window resizes to fit the left hand 50% of my screen; same with up, down, and right.
Win+pageup is full screen, win+pagedown is hide the window.
It's so good
yeah i dont get that either
2 screens would be more practical for me i guess
Are you guys really looking back and forth all the time?
Just alt+tab and use one good monitor.
well multiple monitors does have its uses depending on what kind of work you got
Why would I do that when I could play a game while watching a YouTube video while contemplating posts here?
Well sometimes there is a sports match going on so i like to have it as background noise while I game
the only time I watch something when gaming is while playing mmo's, I use OnTopReplica for that and set up the window above the chat bar.
the fuck is the point of more than one monitor if youre not a programmer or something
People who have never experienced dual monitors really shouldn't talk.
It's a total game changer
Just a few examples: you can watch youtube and browse Zig Forums at the same time, or play a game and have game info open at the same time, or have discord open on the right while you do whatever on the left
>work
Yeah, I guess having your twitch chat open is super useful, huh?
You are only doing one of those attentively at any given time. Just pause the video; you aren't even looking.
>Update
second screen for reference images when using photoshop, 3D modeling tool, etc.
a second monitor would come in handy for programmers who needs to see lines of code simultaneously without changing the tab
It's more useful for keeping reference documents open while you use them
Flipping between tabs is so fucking tiring
>architectural design
>teachers
do you know what decade we're in
Nearly every fucker in a Battlestation thread has two or more monitors.
Shitters in this thread can't even fathom having more than one monitor. Bizzaro thread.
Would a curved TV not be better?
Go to display settings and flip the monitor
I have a vertical one for editing work.
When video editing the vertical one has all my bins, and photo stuff its my layers and tools.
I'm a dumb idiot who can't quickly memorize stuff so whenever I need to tweak a function that I wanna use somewhere else I had to split tabs on vscode
No
TVs have lower resolution and FPS usually
They're designed to look at from across the room, not right up in your face
16:9 is poorfag
21:9 is the best
32:9 is a meme
t. guy with all 3
>not having three ultrawides set vertically side by side
plebes
TVs have piss poor latency and are usually capped at 60hrz.
Also monitors are generally cheaper.
and I don't think any TV manufacturer makes 4K TV's under 43"
Post your setup if you're so great.
>any of that shit
>Zig Forums
Fat chance OP would use it for anything other than videos and videogames.
They have those because they spent more money for no reason. The utility vs just tabbing or resizing your windows is minimal, since you literally will not be focused on the other windows while playing a game.
Double monitor makes sense, but triple is excessive for pretty much everyone.
Ultrawide seems great for cockpits and strategy games, but the comparability isn't the best, and you sacrifice a lot of frames in newer titles.
Personally I just use a 16:9 27" monitor with pivot; it covers everything except my far peripheral.
Tabbing takes probably 10x longer than just moving your eyes baka
Even longer if you have more than 2 windows open, and how could you not?
>since you literally will not be focused on the other windows while playing a game.
Do you have like 3 brain cells? Listening and glancing over a soemthing whilst playing something is a pretty simple motion. Reading things whilst waiting during loading screens/ queues.
It's as if your brain just shuts down if more than one thing is presented to you
I say double down
Not only should you only use one monitor
You should also disable minimaps and the HUD in games; there's no reason you can't click m for map every time you want to see the map
Bezel-free kit
Innovation or meme?
>loading screens
People still have those? Consider a SSD before a 2nd monitor. Mine last seconds at most- not enough time to merit shifting my focus.
>queues
Get some taste in games.
You sound like a female who looks at her phone while watching a movie.
Every time I see "republic of gamers" I smile. It reminds me of that dumb gamer nationalism stuff we saw during gamergate.
Do your part
See a gamer, punch a gamer
Post video and enlighten us, please.
3 ultrawides. go big or go home
3 ultrawides stacked to make a single giga monitor
