Monitors for work/programming

how about 4k tv + t450s?

>1660p
1600p derp. I was thinking of 1440p when I wrote it.

>Is a ultrawide monitor better than 2 smaller monitors? What do you think?
If you're a heavy user of things like tmux or i3, then having separate reasonably-sized monitors (say, 24") can make window management a lot more pleasant. I don't see much of a use case for ultrawide monitors unless you're working in one application that benefits from a lot of width (media editing?).

why are you doing this user

>I code on a 4k resolution 15-inch screen laptop
>My life is suffering.
I guess your laptop's battery life is suffering too.

>one main monitor to focus on that fits good posture and is not too high resolution for text to be to small

more than one monitor is distracting.

damn that monitor butters my ass

What is the monitor called? Sounds good, are there more pixels on screen then with widescreen 1440p?

Since an amd gpu cant even drive that many pixels at 120hz+ without playing on low or something, don't you need like rtx 2080 ti to drive that?

I prefer a 4k 60Hz monitor for programming. Its basically a 2x2 matrix of 1080p monitors with no bezel inbetween.

I use corner snapping and have four windows, or I put my terminal fullscreen and use tmux or vim.

Its perfect for programming.

I've only recently got an ultrawide monitor for free....my first monitor upgrade in 10 years...it's a shame it's only 75hz but I like it.

Is a 25" ultrawide enough?

i have a 1440x900 90hz monitor that i got for like 30$ back when i was into gaymen and a second one that's 1650x1050 that has better image quality and colors that i got for 25$. dual monitors are cool when you work on projects that require lots of debugging (eg opening the program one one monitor and having a debugger on the other)

29" UW 1080p screen. I also had generic 1080p screen on left and 768p screen on right(this shit supposed to be vertical, but it was blurry mess when rotated), but i ditched them. It was kinda overwhelming and was making me anxious for some reason. It's much easier for me with a single monitor.

Depends how close you sit to the screen, 25" ultrawide is narrower than a 27" 16:9

My setup at work: 1 ultra wide between two 21inch.

3 monitors is honestly amazing. DB open on one screen, vs19 on another, the app I'm working on the third.

i upgraded this week, u can imagine my pc and setup

did u go back 10 years in time for half your parts?

Lol? You can drive 4k displays at 120Hz, now you're saying you can't drive 1600p at 120Hz? It's basically a cut down 4k display, but you get the FOV benefit of the aspect ratio.

16:10 is not a meme, it is a literal gift from God. I'm Planning on getting another Del Ultra sharp soon

I use a TN for gayming and a VA vertical for terminal/browsing/music etc. Flip the VA back for tv + films on the side.

What monitor is that

Thinking about getting a CSG9 monitor, is this a mistake in terms of having something superior come out this year?

hurr

Currently using 3 monitors since I can't afford a single massive one. But really I'm just going to wait until VR resolution is high enough, that I can use virtual desktop apps. Being able to attend yourself in a large space with a 100' screen would be great.
(Besides resolution other current problem with VR headsets is that your eyes don't actually focus far away, the image plane for each eye is like 1-2 meters away at most)

attend=surround

> Is a ultrawide monitor better than 2 smaller monitors?
IMO, no. I've done both, and I can be productive with both, but I would still take multiple smaller monitors.

If you're going to tile, having natural boundaries to assist with window management makes it easier. And tiling is the only way to use all the space with vertically-oriented content like text.

Multiple vertical ultrawides can be extremely viable though, if your workload is mostly reading and writing text.

What's the recommended "budget" (sub 300$) monitor currently for non-gayming that is VESA mountable?

***at 27-32"

How does 1440 look at 32"? Is it something like 1080 @ 27" ? (which doesn't look that great)

A single 43" 4K. Very comfy.

>3 star review on amazon
it's shit.

You can literally see other monitors in the reflection.

Personally I dont like ultrawides. It's mostly psychological, but two screens just gives you better division of space. I can sort things out by screen and it makes sense.

Are led monitors for gaming and ips lcd for workstation? Photoshop and video editing.

chilled cow?

personally I do all my work on a 300"

that's not from him retard, it's maybe a coworker

>those monitors
what's your job about?
looks interesting

>those gaps
Wasted space. Opinion discarded.

>other monitors
attached to other computers. you high?

Sysadmin or web dev, depending on the week. Startup shit.

those pods in the back look nice

judging from your monitors you have some tests failed

What do you guys think?

imagine working on a computer. Looking at a thing that makes you blind everyday for a living , holy shit

really brah
you using a serial to dvi to hdmi adapter on that

cant you tell its my anal plug?

No. Also stop being poor.

itt: retards who don't know about workspaces

Ultrashite are a meme, get a 45" 4k monitor.

I'm a web developer and have 2 24' monitors on a dual monitor stand. I enjoy it. I don't code on my desktop, I use my work-issued laptop for that but I enjoy having the "border" between the 2 monitors. My monitor stand can also rotate either monitor 90 degrees if I wanted to use one for coding or reading a long document. I never enjoyed reading or coding that way but it's nice to have.

My normal use is a fullscreen browser in one monitor and Youtube in the other one.

ultrawide obviously, because there's no fucking gap in your view and no hassle with window managment. multiple monitors must be the most stupid tech meme there is. just duct tape your monitor through the middle to get similar experience

an ultrawide is definetly better than two 16:9 ones since you don't have that stupid border in the middle. I currently have a 21:9 34" as main and a 16:9 18" rotated at 90° and it's perfect

>no hassle with window management
But there is, you either

1. have to install specialized window management software

or

2. have to fiddle with your windows and adjust them manually, rather than just full-screening them automatically

RIDE THE CURVE BRO

This alone sounds like a reason why I do not want to go the ultra-wide route and just stick with 2 monitors on a dual monitor stand. The only drawback is that "border" in the middle but to me, that just seperates the two tasks I am doing so I don't mind it.

Imagine having an ultra wide that you multitask on but if you fullscreen a window on one side of the monitor it fullscreens the whole monitor. That would be painful .

With dual monitors you have clear seperation of tasks on each monitor.

I want to get a CRG9 on black friday. It seems perfect for seamlessly using all my computers at once. I just can't justify $1500 on a fucking monitor though. I hope they cut it at least $500 for bf.

I currently have a piece of shit asus tn 1440p monitor with a faulty display port and horrible backlight bleed that i payed way too much for.

which one are you using?

>Is a ultrawide monitor better than 2 smaller monitors? What do you think?
I have an ultrawide and would rather have two discrete monitors. You're locked into the form factor and the aspect ratio with an ultrawide. You can have all the verticality you want with a dual setup.
A lot of them don't have standard VESA mounts and limits your position options since you can't strap it to custom braces.

>single
>>>>>monitor
You don't need dual monitors if you have a 34" behemoth like that.

Would he be a developer if he didn't have eye drops on his desk.

Get three monitors, then you can have one in the center. I like a vertical one in the center

Jeff Dean can't touch type so extra monitors wouldn't benefit him.

>Jeff Dean can't touch type
Wasn't it mentioned that he typed super fast in the newyork times article, or at least in some Jeff dean joke?
Typing fast usually doesn't go along with unable to touch type.
