New tertiary display

[The Blackhat]

Hello, I am planning on getting a third monitor, and I was thinking an ultrawide would be a good idea, and I’m looking at 1080p uws because my 1050 ti cant drive anything higher, but should I get 1080p now or get a 1440p so that when I upgrade my gpu within the next few months the monitor is already good.

edit: I probably should have said my current displays, one is a 144 hz 1080p 27” curved VA freesync panel, the other is a 720p 19” 30 hz tn tv, ignore the odd arrangement but thats what the UW will be joining

if youre not planning on gaming on it, and have the money, i see no reason not to get the 1440p panel, especially if youre looking to upgrade your graphics card in the future, at which time you could make it your primary display, displaying the desktop takes next to no graphics resources, so only having a 1050ti shouldnt be a problem. that said it is a bit counterintuitive to not use your highest quality display as your primary display kdshkld

I currently use my highest quality display as my main, and depending on the res/quality of the UW it may move to be my main, but most likely it will remain on the side for editing and monitoring until my gpu can keep up in games.

Was looking for VA panels but dince those are insanely expensive how well would this do https://www.amazon.com/LG-34UC80-B-34-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B074JKT894

I would prefer for it to not be ips, but the prices are just insane
