kicking myself because 5 days ago i bought 2 monitors at $159 each :(
Good office monitor sub 150 especially supports Vesa mounts
i had that same delema… only problem is i can't find a huge monitor that will reflect the same size for the same price. I'm all for just one monitor but atm huge monitors are still too expensive
i would pay to get a 34" monitor which is $150~$200 more and less cable
correct. no need hub, easier and more tidy on the table.
just xiaomi 34 curve. saving $200 here and there useless
Quick calc, two of these would have the diagonal display area of 43.1", if we're ignoring and centre bezels/gaps.
You'd compare this to a 34" WQHD if you value the additional vertical resolution and no gap. (And as others above point out, fewer cables.)
But if physical display width is a priority and your workflow isn't affected by the gap, this dual setup is a cheap way to get that!
And yeah, getting a 43" anywhere near this price range is still a dream.
Went through the same "dilemma" last year. I have a dual screen setup at work and wanted to set up my home office so I could work from home during the pandemic. Ended up going the ultrawide path (LG 38" - awesome monitor, but certainly not the cheapest out there) and haven't regretted it. Just to be clear, I don't use this setup for gaming.
Based on using this setup for over a year now…
Pros:
Cons:
Bottom line? If budget is the number one consideration, dual screens will maximise your total screen space for the money. That being said, having used one for an extended period of time, I'd take an ultrawide setup any day of the week!
I was about to post something very similar, except that I went the other way and ended up with two monitors instead.
Some pros for the dual setup:
The only major regret for me is the added cabling and messier desk - other than that, I'm happy with the decision.
Really boils down to your use-cases (gaming, work or both) and your priorities
Yeah i will support that as well.
Went to a single 32" 4K and think its a step down for me.
Having two distinct working areas (~1900x1200) is a lot better then one 4k.
If you don't need the larger real estate on one screen then go for two.
Fair call and certainly don't disagree with your comments for the pros of a dual setup. Agree it comes down to the individual's specific use case(s) and what will work best for them.
FHD
What year is it?
2021 in WFH
2006 in the traditional office
Rocking 1080p on 27" monitor and it's excellent. It's nice being able to see.
1080p on 27 inch is pushing it for the dpi being low enough to be annoying for some things, like web browsing
It's perfectly fine.
The the best available used to be MCGA until VGA became available - the same only with 16 colours. FHD on a Philips 32" was a pleasure even if the pixel count did equal the derided "28 dot pitch". Way better definition than the newspapers I grew up reading and also higher than the pictures on the cereal boxes which never gave my young sharp eyes much angst.
About the only real use I've found for 4K is ridiculously lessening the odds with the summoned bow in Skyrim, so I can see how gamers, photographers and visual artists could be distracted by the medium rather than the content, but for SOHO purposes it'd be perfectly adequate, unless there' are a lot of intricate calculations requiring some of the number fonts to be set @ size "2"
I think FHD will still has its market, my elderly parent is happy with FHD as the font and text is bigger
fhd on 24 inch is perfectly fine
sounds overpriced for 24" monitors
$144 each monitor for 24"?
Wish they had a deal for 27" combo
2x smaller display or 1x huge one
