Dual Monitors

September 9, 2016

So I think I might want dual monitors but do I just get the same monitor again or do I get a different monitor cause I think I might just want to get a 1440p monitor but I think it might look weird having to different monitors and 2 different sizes.

Just get what you need, I have a 27" 1440p monitor and a 23.6" 1080p monitor, and it works just fine. Just try to get monitors with similar ppi, for example a 27" 1440p monitor goes just right with a 23-24" 1080p monitor, but with a 27" inch 1080p monitor the icon sizes will be all messed up, like everything on the 1080p monitor would be big while the 1440p would be small

Get the same size. Makes games sooooo much better (You can't really on different sizes, I figured that out the hard way.

I'm not a big fan of surround gaming, not all games support it, and you need a powerful gpu, you would also need to deal with the bezels, which can be a distraction to the gaming experience.
I'd rather go with 1 big 1440p monitor for gaming, and a smaller 1080p monitor or a TV as a secondary monitor.
