Should I combine a newer version with an older version or will it forever bug me?

[Xiauj]

Hello all  ,

I just wanted to ask something regarding my monitor setup which I'm planning alongside my PC Build which I hope to get in the next few months up towards Christmas and/or the new year of 2017.

So at the moment, I'm using a Samsung U28D590D (_{http://www.samsung.com/levant/consumer/it/monitor/uhd-monitor/LU28D590DS/ZN}) monitor and I was looking as of recently to see if they are still being sold because I've have this one for nearly what, 2? ish years. So, I decide to look online and Hey! BINGO! They are discontinued  

 

Here's a source to show that they are indeed, discontinued:

_{https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IJS6PCC/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=} <- Amazon UK Product & Info Page:

Notice how they mention this?: _{https://gyazo.com/0b15c780decb6a1ea4e1a1603afa1209}

https://gyazo.com/9e2c1bc4901171e7d69d8b52f62dbe04 <- Seller is NOT Amazon-UK.

I purchased mine for roughly, £420 (Not from Amazon, a local store which I don't think sells it either) by the way.

 

Ok so what I'm trying to say is that, they no longer do my model but they do have the newer model (as shown above) U28E590D, what differences are there because like, I want a triple monitor setup but another thing is,

should I use 1x Old Model and 2x New Model? Because, such little differences will forever bug me and I don't want that and I assume you don't either because, it can get annoying. Right? Yup.

 

Another thing which I need to ask is, does anyone know a triple monitor arm/stand for 3x 28" monitors? Preferably one that's not over £200 or something ridiculous lol

 

So, opinions?

It's either this or I just get 3x new monitors entirely which I would prefer not to do because I won't get much profit in return for the current U28D590D monitor that I have on say.. eBay or whatever. So yeah, it's worth keeping in my humble opinion.

 

Thanks

Oh and I nearly forgot, the GPU powering the [SAID_MONITOR_SETUP] will be a GTX 1080 alongside a 5820k (X99 Chipset) Haswell-E CPU !!

Only if you are gaming but if you are editing and stuff then you should get 3 ultrawides!

3x UltraWides was and still is one type of idea yeah, but the thing is, how much will it cost and can my GPU handle Single monitor gaming as well as Triple monitor gaming?

Keep in mind, AIR Cooling for the whole rig is going to be included, not water cooling.

 

 

 

 

But guys,

I don't want the 28" that I have, to go to waste.

Opinions guys?

• New and Old to be combined?
• Or do I just say Goodbye and get a new:
  • 3x 144Hz Monitors setup
  • Or........
  • 3x UltraWide monitors
  • OR.......
  • 2x New Model setup (U28E590D) to combine with 1x Old Model (U28D590D)

And for how much?

Please reply/refer with the monitor that you are talking about also, would be very helpful!

Oh and to answer @SLIClocker 's other comment,

I will be doing Gaming, Modelling, Video/Photo editing and Development.

For Gaming that includes:

• Single monitor gaming for certain games, not all of them.
• As well as........
• Triple monitor gaming for certain games, not all of them.

Oh you were talking about the stand, I see

Ok sweet! Thanks Julian5!

Get 3 LG 25UM58's Ultrawides Because they have great response times and they can run at 75hz! where as 4K can only run 60hz max! I got mine for $250 AUD so probably around $150/$170 US Trust me it is worth it and yes a Nvidia Geforce Gtx 1080 "Your Card" can definitely run this setup easy!
