3 monitor setup!

Right now i have PG27AQ its a 4k monitor ips with 60hz. 

 

I could get the ultrawide monitor PG348Q from asus and use this monitor as my second, and in overall they 2 would make almost a 3 monitor look, although im afraid that it would be a bit too much to one side.

 

Or i could buy a second monitor with 165hz qhd ips PG279Q and a third monitor but i dont know which, my budget is around 1200eur.

I dont know what third monitor i should get and im concerned about the looks as well.

 

What do you think?

@Edward768 the PG348Q is a beautiful and immersive gaming monitor. Put it central and use it as your main screen/game screen, with your existing monitor on 1 side (I prefer the right) and use it for web browsing/youtube/whatever you use a 2nd screen for.

I'd get a 27" 1440p monitor from Asus. High refresh rate, GSync or FreeSync. Third monitor could be a PB278.

I can't stand having mismatched monitors though, so I'm bias.

You don't feel claustrophobic with your tower there? I would, and I like small spaces. Plus it would seem like clutter to me.

Considering he's looking at getting different resolutions, I don't think he intents to be gaming across all three.

It seems to be a good plan, but im concerned that maybe it will be too far, no? as the ultrawide is big.

I have the monitor its amazing

Are there scaling issues, like with icons on screens, as the ultrawide is in lower resolution?

No, totally not, only on the main one.

Not if you don't split tasks across monitors. Windows will display correctly on them both but if you dragged an application to be half and half it would look weird, not sure why you'd do that though

Why would you spend that much money on a screen? They're so cheap, laptops come with them for free.

I don't notice the bezels when I'm playing, plus I have bezel correction enabled.

 

The human brain usually filters stuff like that.

 

Your nose, for example, is always in your peripheral vision, yet you never notice because it's always there. Same with the bezels.

 

I plan to resell these monitors at some point.

Not at all, the desk is huge, each monitor is 19 inches without bezel, the desk itself is like 5.5 feet side.

 

Clutter? Nope. I am anal retentive about organization, I put every single tool back where it was when I'm done with it.

 

Now if only I was the same way about my floor...

Correct I don't notice my nose but I've played on a dual setup in the past and hated the bezels so I'm calling BS on "forgetting they are there". I'd rather game on 1 of those than have 2-3 with bezels ruining my immersion

Dual monitors are different because the bezel is smack damn in the middle.

 

When I'm playing I pay far more attention to the center monitor than either of the side screens.

Ahh ok, I'm just more of a minimalist so if I had something on my desk it'd have to be quite small. Then again, I ran 2 desks side by side and had a massive laser all-in-one printer at the other end. It was far enough away that it didn't bother me though.

I need to get a printer...

 

As long as things look neat and presentable I don't mind.

 

I need to vacuum my floor, its the exact opposite of presentable lol

 

As far as triple monitors go, I think OP should definitely go for it. I tried a single screen for a while and its just not the same, even though I use NV Surround.

Yeah, I definitely miss having two screens.

Printers are something best bought on sale. I over spent on mine though. 9_9

I will just buy 2 165hz qhd asus screens for 700€ each, as i want them to look the same, my 4k monitor will go as a secondary montitor for youtube, lectures or siply web browser, all my work will be done on the qhd ones, i could go for all 4k monitors, but it would cost too much but i could play on all 3 tho, and yes my pc can run that :)
