2th and 3rd screen options

Fkleppe

I have a nice 27" inch ROG screen for gaming (165Hz), but I want two new screen to use for browsing, twitch, editing. I wonder what resolution I should have on my 2 other screens? Does it matter? Does Hz matter? Also, I think I want IPS panels.

Any recommendations?

Just buy two 27 inch screens 1080p and 60hz no need to use 500$ on a 144hz 1080p screen when you can get three screens for the same price nad since you are using it for browsing and twitch it dosnt matter

Some 27" 1440p 60 Hz monitors would be best, keeping the same pixel density makes moving windows between monitors a lot better, otherwise you'll have to deal with uneven alignment.

OK. Should be able to handle triple monitors easy. I'd do what @Singhstar suggested.

True but the cheapest 1440p IPS 27 inch screen i can find  (in my country) is 518$ so thats 1000$ in screens, so its up to your wallet @Fkleppe

Thank you very much! Someone told me that there could be a "crash" with the Hz on multiple screens if the differnce in Hz was too big. Ever heard of that? :)

No, monitors are independent and don't need to be related in any way.
