Display Setups?

[GloriousPain]

What kind of setups does everyone going for cause I'm really thinking about upgrading from my current 1080p 60Hz Display this winter when some Christmas sales and stuff drop; I'm considering either going for a 1440p or if cheap enough 2160p display; But I'm also thinking about 3x1080p monitors and I'm debating if doing the triple setup getting a 120 or 144hz TN for center so if I'm ever gaming on just the one screen I can use the extra framerate and responsiveness  and I was thinking 2 IPS or PLS 60hz for the sides to prevent color shift from the angle the monitors would be at (probably 30-60 degrees) plus I don't know if when surround gaming my computer (which I plan on upgrading over the fall) could output triple 1080 at much over 60fps constantly

Right now just a single 1080p, but that will probably turn into a 1080p, a 1280x1024 (for stuff like TeamSpeak or whatever), and another 1080p.

I have 1080p and 1280x1024. I got both for free! THe 1080p my dad had extra, the 1024p was at a garage sale for free.

I paid $130 for my AOC 2236Vw 4 or 5 years ago, and I got the 1280x1024 (my Dell E176FP) for free from my mom.

Scrap the surround monitors imo and get two 1440p or a 4k when the sales drop. I have a 1440 in the center and two 1200s on the side. Once you go 1440 or 4k you'll never go back.

The main reason I don't wanna go 2160p is because the frame rates and I don't like dual monitors as in gaming it doesn't really work and with productivity work it turns out fine but I dislike stareing directly at the bezels or lack of symmetry... And with 1440p combined with others I don't want odd interpolation maybe I'd consider it with 2160p due to the perfect scaling(1/4 as compared to 1440p to 1080 which uses some imaginary number causing lots of interpolation) but 2160p is soo expensive affording decent side monitors would kill my wallet

There's no interpolation issues, you run each monitor at its native res and you'd just use the center for gaming. I have 3 monitors for productivity in video editing and CAD work, I only game on the center.

Yeah but I wanna surround game and inwhich case I would run into interpolation... *Note I do Simulators and RTSes like Civ quite a bit...

Oh ok I'm sorry it didn't seem like surround was a priority in your original post. Yeah triple 1080 would work but mixing display types (IPS/pls vs tn) will cause the colors to look different between monitors. You can calibrate for that but you'll still notice it.

Yeah I know  the TN center monitor was for when I play FPS and that's it; I'm jut wondering would it be so bad. I just know I don't want surround TN because I'd then have drastic color shift...
