Need Two More Monitors

[Zolfe]

So with my current build that I just finished like 2 or 3 months ago I only have one monitor and I am using my TV as a second but soon I will be getting my new desk and buying a triple monitor mount. I am not that intrested in triple monitor gaming but more for content creation, watching youtube and maybe some other things. I am looking for them to be 27 inches 2560x1440 and prefer IPS and the monitors don't have to be from the two I have on here these are just what I found when I was first thinking of building my PC. Oh and price range is preferably less then $1,000 USD for both so $500 each.

I suggest to buy the same monitor you currently have, and the leftover £250 for 60Hz IPS 1440p display for YT videos.

 

Unless you're not planning to buy them for gaming since you have a gaming dedicated display, then I'd recommend AOC 2x 4K displays as it gives you plenty of space when it comes to PC work and you're not resolution limited in anything really. Plus you'd pay much less than 1000 bucks.

 

Not located in US so this is an example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-27MU58-B-Black-27-IPS-GTG-5ms-LCD-3840-x-2160-UHD-4K-FreeSync-Technology-/282670843261?hash=item41d07ec57d:g:-ToAAOSw5B1Zyw1V

Yeah I am not planning on gaming on them, so I will look into it can you link me the AOC you were talking about?

The link I gave you is a decent one. 27" 4K IPS display. Buy two of those and you're set!

 

I personally have AOC but I put LG one below. LG is a really good brand.

 

I don't know US sites so sorry for E-Bay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-27MU58-B-Black-27-IPS-GTG-5ms-LCD-3840-x-2160-UHD-4K-FreeSync-Technology-/282670843261?hash=item41d07ec57d:g:-ToAAOSw5B1Zyw1V

The one I listed previously is same and is cheaper.

Yeah I will probably end up getting two of the LG ones with my Newegg card cause it is cheaper on there and I can pay it off in 12 months. But I have one question how weird is it to have two different resolutions side by side?

I have 4K and 1080P, so if I try to drag the mouse to the left right side where my 1080P is then you can't if it's lower down the monitor, since 1080P is 4x smaller than 4K. Other than that, it's not really different, things on the display are smaller due to resolution but it doesn't bother me really. I use the 1080P for movies. 

 

Plus you can game on the 4K display too if you like quality picture. I see no issues with that. I personally prefer 4K since at 4K I won't be getting more than 60-80 frames depending on a game anyway.

Thats the only thing I am hesitant on is the scaling.

Just bought 2 of http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27UD68P.

Amazing compared to my old TN Monitor ofcourse.

 

Got them standing for now till i find a Good triple monitor mount solution, since my current one is not quite adjustable.

They will also look amazing with a Asus Monitor in the middle, which i'm planning to do once it releases.

That wasnt me but you did help lol, but I am still looking into how big of a difference the scaling would be because I would like to be able to smoothly move things back and forth from screens.

That will not be a problem, you'll get used to it. I did.
