The Great Debate
Nathaniel Rogers
Dominic White
1 ultrawide + 1 or 2 normal screens to the side
Jack Baker
aaaaaahlululululul?
ahhhhhhhh!!!!
that's not a war face
let's see yuour weal face fece

I want to have two independent workspaces on view at once therefore I choose two separate monitors.
Adrian Carter
Three normal 16:9 or 16:10 monitors.
I have one 27" 1440p in the center, a 23" 1680x1050 to the left and a 26" 1920x1200 to the right. They're different PPI so not good for surround gaming, but my usual use case is putting different things on different monitors. Game or programming in the center, YouTube or docs to the right, chat app(s) to the left. Yeah matching monitors would be nicer but it really doesn't make much difference with what I'm using them for, and they're my previous 2 monitors so I already had them.

i have ultrawide monitor then 1 smaller monitor i forget to use.
Samuel Parker
Having made the expensive mistake of going Dual 27" 1440p to 34" 1440p UW, then back to Dual 27" 1440p. Go dual monitor.
Jack Davis
Triple 27" 1080p or 1440p > Dual 27" 1080p or 1440p > Ultrawide at any resolution
Ultrawide is shit for most productivity except maybe Video or Photo editing but I don't do that.
Xavier Jones
>not using dual ultrawides
people don't actually NOT do this... right?
James Adams
ultrawide monitors usually have a lower pixel density inch for inch and an ultrawide can't be reconfigured to have 1 monitor in portrait orientation and the other in landscape. for gaems and media an ultrawide imo is better because no bezel but for anything else dual monitors is superior unless for some reason you can only connect a single monitor to your input sauce
Eli Ramirez
Dual is a sham. You either have nothing on one side, or a gap down the middle.
Jason Reyes
I use a laptop with an extra monitor behind it.
Daniel Edwards
Ultrawide isn't as many pixels as two screens. So I prefer multiple monitors.
Levi Ortiz
single monitor
Jayden Jones
Multiple ultrawide curved monitors forming a full circle with the user in the middle.
Adam Taylor
Fixed.
Jacob Wood
43" 16:9 UHD trashes both those joke setups
Ian Perez
If I could use an ultra-wide monitor as if it was 2 gapless side-by-side monitors, then i'd get an ultrawide. Until that's possible without major bugs, I'll stick with multiple monitors.

This. Just get yourself a 55" 4k TV. It's like having 4 monitors stacked perfectly with no bezel between the screens AND TVs look amazing compared to monitors
Anthony Gomez
Single 27"
Nathan Miller
55" is only about 80 dpi, and 43" (really ~42.5") is about 103 dpi. 49" (= 90 dpi) is probably the biggest anyone should go until 8k comes out in a few years.
John Rivera
>34" ultrawide
>75hz refresh
>ips 1080p
Strictly speaking about the aspect ratio I kind of regret it. The width isn't really enough for multitasking and the 1080 vertical resolution is frustrating for doing any kind of multitasking. This aspect ratio is only good for watching films shot in 2.39:1 which is admittedly most, and for games that support 21:9. Gaming and watching movies take up a small percentage of time so I see UW as a waste. I bought this monitor less than a year ago and I already plan on replacing it with a UHD monitor
Liam Thompson
>Single
Thomas King
It's barely noticeable from 24" 1080p. If you really can't stand it just pull yourself back like 4 inches
Matthew Wright
> wanting 4x 27" 1080p trash
John Rogers
There is no debate. Two screens are objectively superior.
Carson Miller
>he doesn't stack his ultrawide's on top of each other
Adrian Jones
Two monitors.
>two work spaces
>not a meme
>if one breaks I still have one
>full screen nude pics of OP’s mom and shit posting at the same time
Brandon Gonzalez
dual like this.
Samuel Wright
>desklet
Let me guess, you have your eyes right up against your screen. Do yourself and get a deeper desk or a keyboard tray, the keyboard tray will be more ergonomic
Hunter Brooks

Lincoln Martin
Nope, I just have 20/12 vision, and I prefer to see documents at 1:1 of their physical size and not look like complete ass from chunky pixels.
I would consider multi 5k in portrait mode except that I hate bezels, so I'm stuck waiting for 8k for decent clarity and size at the same time.
Jason Ramirez
Samsung Q950R
Nathaniel Garcia
I like having one portrait and I don't have space on my desk for an ultrawide
Easton Turner
I have one big 32" 4k monitor
Way better than having 2 and having to crane your neck to see the rest of the content
Pic related all the space for activities
Mason Nguyen
This. Reading code work and gaymen
Brayden Smith
Yeah, I saw some of the CES stuff coming out this year, but it was all unfortunately at least a bit too big for my taste, and we're gonna need HDMI 2.1 w/ DSC, or some even newer DP variant, to get anything better than 30 Hz @ 8k. (fuck chroma sub-sampling btw)
Logan Bailey
Get the samsung superultrawide
Brayden Brown
Kek'd, buy a TV
Joseph Ortiz

Camden Martin
This. One or two turned sideways on the side.
Christian Wright
if you are doing any color sensitive work, tv's are massive shits. A video editor at work uses a 55 inch curved samsung and the colors are completely fucked, even after calibration.
Nathaniel Long
I use the vertical sides for watching kpop fancams.
Noah Richardson
What are the downsides, if any? Response time or refresh rate? If I'm just doing run of the mill office work and youtube, then a TV is equivalent to a monitor, right?
Jace Harris
blurry text and shit usually, due to different subpixel arrangements compared to a regular monitor (maybe shit can compensate for it now? looked like ass when i tried it a couple years ago)
Eli Gomez
My setup.
Thomas Sullivan
if you are doing any color sensitive work, 99% of monitors people use on Jow Forums are massive shits
Joshua Carter
Join the master race:
[16:9 Portrait] [16:10 Landscape] [16:9 Portrait]
Brandon Myers
Basically my setup.
Anthony Bell
3 16:9 monitors with the left and right ones configured to be vertical
Justin Morgan
>not going wide portrait
you are missing out
Leo Thompson
Wait thats already possible
Lincoln Parker
16:9 portrait for work, browsing... websites are currently optimized for mobile portrait, so everything looks a lot better than landscape
inb4 not using maximized windows
16:9 landscape TV for vidya, for the post-processing gains, and dpi for content consumption
my only gripe is that using a multi monitor is still a clusterfuck with some apps going into fullscreen on the wrong display.... other apps forgetting the monitor you want them.... missing systray.... it is a total mess so i usually just jump from one display to the other, to avoid wasting my time and losing my settings when the OS decides. I don't need the real estate of two displays at the same time
take away: USE PORTRAIT
Ryder Campbell
Huge TVs cost a lot and have shitton of input lag, bad response times and usually can't reach the same refresh rates as monitors.
Bentley Powell
If you are doing color sensitive work you're a faggot
