With the new Acer Predator Z35 (Ultra-wide, 1440p, 144Hz, ) coming soon, I was doing some daydreaming. As a person that does gaming as well as content creation, one screen just isn't enough. On the one side we have three 27 inch 1440p IPS G-Sync monitors (XB270HU), and on the other side we have two of those with the Z35 monster in the middle, although, I would be happy with Acer's XR341CK 75Hz. The main reason why I'm not into surround gaming is the bezel. Yes I know, there are monitors with thin bezel, but still... I would often look at the left/right 1/3 of the side monitor, respectively, and those bezels would get in the way. And for contend creation it would be great to stretch my timeline across the ultra-wide screen.
Let's do some math:
4k = 8294400 px;
3x 1440p 27inch = 11059200 px;
2x 1440p 27inch + 1440p ultra-wide = 12326400 px;
5k = 14745600 px;
So, it would not be much harder to drive than surround 1440p.
What is your dream monitor setup? Would you consider ultra-wide + 2x 16:9 monitors? Or would you rather stick with 3 same monitors 1440p/ 1080p? Or is just one monitor enough for your needs?
