Hey all 

 

Im finding that with the amount of stuff im having to do at university (python programming, web dev etc) that i probably need a second monitor, at my uni almost everywhere has them and they might not be the best (one is 1080p and one i think is 720p) they are a life saver so i want to invest in one.

 

Right now i have a BenQ Gl2460 60Hz 1080p monitor and would like to know 2 things:

 

1. Should i upgrade to a 1440p monitor and keep the 1080p one for my code and 1440p for games/videos?

2. Should i just buy another 1080p one? Are they still a valuable option now that 1440p and 4k monitors are getting that bit cheaper and are starting to become the norm?

 

Also, some monitor recommendations are welcome

 

EDIT: Ok so if i wanted to use 1440p you would probably need my specs right?

1440p is playable at medium to high at 60fps, but with a 1060 it isnt recommended.

I could always switch

 

Games like Civ 6 i think will be playable at 1440 will they not? But if i was playing games like Skyrim heavy modded or Fallout 4 is it easy just to switch back to the other monitor?

Yes, or set the res to 1080p, should look like a 1080p monitor
