Hey Linustechtips Community, so i was wondering if you guys could give me some advice based on your own experience or whatnot?

 

At this moment, im currently running a 27" Monitor as my main, and a 24" Monitor as my second screen. This works lovely with both being 1080p.

However, Ive got two 19" monitors, both the same make, which are the same height as my main, and they fit nicely.

 

I'd like advice on whether to put my main display in the middle with the two 19" monitors by its side, or keep my current 27" and 24" (Bearing in mind the 24" isn't really the same height and stuff)?

 

Thanks guys!

I despise small screens, but if you have no prob with that all is good. 3 screens is more room for work. However if you also plan to game on 3 screens I would avoid it.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Small screens aren't really my favourite either, but as you stated, more room for work, i will be leaving to University in 2 days, so ill have more space, for things such as a movie, a webpage and a word document. And with gaming, i only ever play on one monitor, so therefore i'd say a movie on one screen, game on the other, and some webpage or whatnot on the third.

 

With the two, its nice, as ive got a movie playing, and i can play my game, but it does get on my nerves having to pick up my phone and reply to someone on facebook instead of just using my computer.

The above picture would be a good example yes. Watch movie on 24 inch while gaming and work on the 19 inch :) Multitasking is great :)
