Anything goes, as long as it is LCD! 

 

1x 4k TN

1x 4k IPS (returning this wednesday)

 

1x 1200p TN


3x 1080p TN (I'll use one when I am returning 4k IPS)

 

2x 1280x800 TN (Laptop's monitor)

 

the sweating that happens when you click enter and it starts the topic before you finished making questions, then you click cancel by accident which is beside edit topic.

One 4K panel, one 1440p 144Hz Gsync panel, one 1080p 75Hz Freesync panel, two 1080p 60hz panels. Backup is a 768p VGA monitor. Was contemplating getting a second 1440p 144Hz G Sync, but Costco stopped selling them in store.

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

Not sure how to answer some of these questions, as I don't really have a main computer. I use synergy with 3 computers, each with their own monitor. All IPS, two are 1080p and the other is 1050p.

Space is pretty awesome.

Best hardware rules out the mac mini. The other two trade blows, but they're both on 24" 1080p IPS monitors from AOC (which, btw, I don't recommend).

I have to update the profile, but I was given two 24" Dell U2415 to go with my main rig for a total of six monitors (if I can find a grommet triple-stand or some arm-mounts that can keep them floating). I have quite a few monitors from 768@60 up to a single 1080@144Hz (my first look at high-refresh, you can tell how I feel about high-refresh vs TMG). For a future project, I'd like to waterproof one of the monitors for use in the tub or shower for Plex.

Have one 1920x1200 Samsung T240 (TN panel, before led backlights were all the rage) and one 1920x1080 Samsung HM2494 (same TN and old backlight).

These are due to be replaced with a single 32-40" 4K LCD.

 

Also have an old 1280x768 Samsung 172W monitor that i can quickly move around to various laptops or computers i sometimes have as repair projects... it's nice monitor, especially the stand.

16:10 master race

the only IPS monitor I have is this 4k one, and im returning it because i don't feel like it's worth the $400 investment with slightly better colours and not even better viewing angles from top/bottom

mine is a 2560x1600 Dell UP3017 so really good color quality. Usually 1,200$ got it for 300$ from a dead monitor from dell. Old monitor fried so dell sent me that up3017

so far i am even satisfied with 97% sRGB

the next step up would be something along the lines of an apple display, that full P3 range. :) 

waiting for most online content to even have good greys. :P

for gaming, coding, light video editing 4k 21:9 is light lol, and video consumption: 
99% Adobe RGB (Delta E < 2)
99% sRGB
99% REC 709
99% DCI-P3

is sorta overkill...

I have a bunch of old 4:3 Lenovo displays. Over 10..

But for my main monitor an AOC FreeSync 1080P 75Hertz display is what I use my 2 21" ASUS monitors at 1080P 60Hertz serve me very well as secondary monitors. One secondary ASUS running my secondary PC on HDMI and main on over DVI. (My setup is a bit odd).

When the PC is acting up haunted,

who ya gonna call?
