Multiple Screens

Do you use more than one monitor/tv screen?
Why/why not?

Yes. For work.
There is almost no reason to use multiply displays for gaming when widescreen monitors exist.

Don't the majority of games not support ultrawide?

I do not. For the most part, multi-screen setups are a waste. 99% of people with these setups are not being "more productive". They're just ADHD retards who can't even spend 5 minutes playing a game without also having a youtube video or porn playing on the secondary screen.

If you are actually some kind of independent contractor who does actual work at his own home, then fine. But for the other 99% of people, you're just lying to yourselves.

It's getting better, but don't expect flawless experience with any game. Most single player AAA/AAA titles have native ultrawide resolutions these days. Indies and retro games often do not.

they usually play in windowed mode, which is cringey to me

cope

Yes, but i only use it for watching streams with Zig Forums or /sp/.

Yes, I need it for work.
Also it is comfy to watch twitch/youtube while playing puzzle games etc

I use two monitors. Usually primary has my browser and secondary has some chat programs open, foobar, and task manager. When I'm playing a game I sometimes move my browser to take up half of the second screen.

wrong

Sounds like 2 is at least a minimum to not be laughed at.

Proper window manager on a large screen >>>> multiple screens for productivity.

Almost everyone I know uses multiple for that sweet hacker aesthetic. Plus to drink the youtube poison while playing games.

Vidya on main screen, information on the other. It's been the default setup for years.

>giving up exclusive fullscreen rendering to accomplish a task a phone or tablet would do better

Just admit you want to look like a hacker

A phone or tablet is clunky as fuck compared to just shifting your eyes sideways.

>some kind of independent contractor who does actual work at his own home
you mean 80% of the current workforce?

I have 2 monitors that I use for both gaming and work. One is an ultrawide for games that support that, the other is 4k for games that don't. I normally have a browser, discord, spotify open on my non-gaming monitor when I need to reference something or there's a loading screen.
And then with work, it's nice to have slack, evernote, a couple of chrome windows, and VS Code open all at once. I can have everything in front of me that I'm working on and need to reference without switching between desktops.

I keep my old Surface Pro to shitpost and watch videos while playing vidya from my couch.

Which one is better?

Asus VG279Q or LG 27GL650F-B

your speakers suck

>Spends thousands on monitors, microphone, RGB peripherals
>Refuses to do the same for speakers

I bet you have tinnitus

I asked which one was better among the two.

Yeah I have 4

speakers bleed through the mic

I'd rather have a monitor with 1440p if you're going with a 27 inch, so none of them. LG did release the best IPS, 1440p G-sync, 144hz monitor according to reviews though.

so does your keyboard

I just looked up 27 inch, IPS that's 1440p with Freesync/Gysnc on a local site for PC parts, but none of them are 144hz. At least not LG. Sadly, such is life in shitty Serbia.

I use one monitor for my PC, and the other is mainly for my PS3. Technically it's not a dual monitor set up, as I haven't found much use to use the other monitor (as it doesn't have more than 1 HDMI port so I couldn't use it past that either) since 1080p gives me enough screen space to not complain a good lot of the time.

>10 zone local dimming

IIRC it's LG 27GL850-B. I was in your exact spot about a year ago but finally decided for a cheaper alternative since almost no retailer had the LG in stock. I went with the Acer VG270UP which has freesync, 144hz, 1440p, 5ms and is an IPS. The monitor i got had no issues with backlight bleeding either so i'm actually very happy. I got it for about $400. So if you're looking for one i can recommend it.

One main monitor and two 7-inch monitors for monitoring and for references.

where did you get that from? most games have fixes, in 90% of cases, if you can play a game on widescreen you can also play it on ultrawide.

that being said
1) the post you replied to didn't mention ultrawide
2) if majority of games don't support ultrawide, what makes you think multi-monitor setups are more viable?

this

Huh, I actually found that one now that I looked it up. What the fuck?

>mfw it's over 500 euros
I hate living here so much.

Thank you, user, you really helped me out.
