Switch monitors...yes or no?

[mapegl]

So my gaming habits have changed a bit in that I now go to my buddies places more and more often with my machine. Since my only display is an ultrawide that is very difficult. I like the display....no doubt about it, but it isn't like I am dying when I only use a 16:9 for something else. I even tried using a 16:9 format for gaming on my 21:9 Monitor with black bars and forgot about it very quickly.....i dunno. 

Now you might be thinking "get to it already you...." and you are right. I ordered a refurbished MG24UQ for only 250 bucks. Super cheap for a very nice compact display that can either be used well for 4k or 1080p. It has yet to arrive, but I was so surprised about the amazing price on eBay  (from an actual retailer that I actually bought the ultrawide from) that I just put a bid in at the minimum price and got it.

I can send it back so no harm is done.

 

In general my thought was that I like high res gaming and will probably sooner or later have a gpu that can drive that. I want a more portable monitor and the MG24UQ can actually be disassembled with a simple click. I don't mind 60hz much and freesync is still.in the box when dipping below that. I love IPS, which I would still have. Ultrawide is nice but lacks support still. I am looking at you Fallout 4...and many others. 

And I like the idea that 1080p looks good on a 4k screen because of it just being 4 times less pixels....well you get what I mean.

 

Now if you say that 4k looks much better on a bigger screen...well yeah...maybe, but I already had a 28" 4k screen once and it wasnt all that great to sit in front of a huge screen like that. And I like that I can disable AA in games and just get a sharp image. Well I guess I will see.

 

Also of course if anyone is curious about the monitors or anything you want me to look into, feel free to ask. I will be home on Sunday and then try out a few things. Monitor should get to me on saturday.
