Probably Over kill...

[PartyWire]

Hej, so i have recently started thinking of my new setups monitors, i want a nice setup where i could use AMD's Eyefinity for a wider screen. i was thinking of buying three 1920x1080 monitors and putting em in eyefinity. but then i was thinking about the 2560x1080 monitors. so the thing was with the 2560x1080 that i could make a perfectly curved setup with little borders between.
I'll just list the cons and pros of both setups i have come up with.

1920x1080x3

Cons:

can't make a perfect curve of them, will be a hard angle.

Diagonal at 21.5" height is about 25 cm (~10")

Pros:

1ms response is 130 euros.

refresh rate 75Hz

 

2560x1080x3

Cons:

lowest Response time was 4ms at the price of 500 euros... 5ms cheapest is 400 euros, without curved screen i could get a 5ms for 244 euros

Different power input on the screen, hard to get hands on. (this is a problem due to my cat, he likes him some of that wire from the PC)

Pros:

Diagonal at 29" Height is about 35 cm (~13.75")

Ultra thin edge

 

help me choose the perfect monitor set up, thank you in advance.

 

PS. I'm from a quite isolated country when it comes to online component buying, so no newegg or amazon sales will help me reduce the price.

 

Editto: If you're worried about the hard ware. then worry no more, it a beast i can tell you, it could handle the 3 monitors with ease.

why multiple monitors in the first place?

screen realestate? 4k + secondary 1080p/4:3 monitor

gaming? ultrawide

I'd do a 3x 1080p, so your crosshair or whatever is in the center of a screen, not in the blank area at the seam of two screens. 

 

EDIT: Saw you were thinking about 3 ultrawides? That'll make a massive setup and it may be hard to see everything.

Yea, gaming mostly for ultrawide gaming, maybe some editing for a friend.

Just get single 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide or 4k. Better experience imo.

3 ultrawides due to the massive table i have, i'll be sitting quite far from the monitors, i'd say about 2 meters.

1x ultrawide + secondary 1080/4k/4:3 monitor

 

im only throwing in the 4:3 monitor suggestion because i use that for my secondary monitor, and its quite nice for discord/some video/whatever else. also i ran out of desk space

Then just get a 72 inch curved TV and sit about 3 meters from it.

Common occurrence for us underlings of the PCMR. My desk is a tiny folding table. Of which my Evolv (not using it right now, since I don't trust the table with it's weight) takes up about a third.

What about ebay? The Korean monitors are very nice.

Check YouTube for Level1Tech, they did some reviews of them.

i was using a plastic foldout desk for the longest time .. 

8 year old me had a better pc desk than 12 year old me

 

 

right now my main desk is a tiny fucking table that is too short, so my wrists are just dead.

messing with the TV would be too much for me, i'd like to keep it simple and nice.

Barely anyone ships to my country, and if they do, either the thing costs a Butt ton or the shipping is over the top

My wrists are murdered by my cheap folding metal chair (Like the folding ones for outdoor events), since it sits me up really high. Plus my keyboard is pretty thick, and has no wrist rest. But I can game!

Also, one would be more costly than 3 ultrawides, and it would be smaller and due to the large table i have, the screen would pretty much look a lot smaller to me. that's why i'm going with a tri-setup. uses more space and my games won't be so far and so small.

One big TV would be simpler than 3 large monitors.... right?

Pretty much my reason for Building a new setup, table was a foldable and chair was one of em plastic ones that you can break when someone is sitting on them and ou hit the leg of the chair.

Would, but i'd have to make it feel like a monitor, and most TVs that are on sale on the online stores here are either over kill refresh rate or too little refresh rate, no perfects.

yeah. Just one ultrawide? What games are you playing? I know racing sims are more immersive with surround screens, but an FPS game would be better with a more centered view.

I used to be in the basement, but now I moved my PC to my room over the garage (the other default teen gamer room). Maybe have to switch back if I can't figure out how to make my wifi better. Where would I be without multiplayer, excessive use of the LTT forums, Discord, and updates? Also downloading every nice mod off the internet for Battlefront II...

I would disagree, in fps games the ultrawide helps.
