Yes, I have a 4k monitor in my back pocket that I use to swap out my 1920x1080 monitor when I'm not gaming.

People should learn to add an  "Other (specify in a comment)"  option to the votes.

For both questions, i had different answers.

 

I play games on my primary monitor which is 24" 1920x1200

I work every day on both my 24" monitors, the second display being just 1920x1080 .. so basically it would be 3840 x 1080

No option for 5760 x 1080? So much discrimination. You... You... Panelist!

I might add that making the jump to 1440p IPS was a huge improvement, very happy with this monitor worth the $$ i paid
