dual vs single

darksoul43 · October 20, 2016

so i had a plan to get a dual monitor setup, 34" ultrawide for photoshop and normal use and movies and whatever then a 27" monitor for gaming and using the nintendo wii on, or shall i just get one ultrawide that is good for color work and gaming? like the x34 predator or something? both setups would cost the same (predator is a bit less) but what would you guys choose? because i really want to get something to play my wii on also and dont know how an ultrawide would handle it

also, i have a 26" 16:10 now, should i just go with the predator and then use what i have as a secondary for the wii?

Whatever works for you. I personally would go for dual monitors because I've become accustomed to it. Having that extra space to put reference material when I'm working is just nice to have. Saves time flipping through windows trying to find something. And when I game, just turn off the secondary monitor and hit WIN + P to switch back from extended display to single display mode.

yeagh im used to multi monitor so i think il stick to it,though i might still get the predator since it is cheaper than the other option, and i still have my current monitors that i can use

Oh if you still have your current ones then yea just get the predator! A secondary monitor doesn't necessarily have to be a nice one!
