What display resolution are you using?

Normally, all display sizes must move to 4K-class. There are already 28-inch 4K for around 200 EUR (quite affordable if you ask me). That is pretty nice and a good option for the people tired of the old lower resolutions.

I’d think I’d prefer dual 22”-24” monitors. I have a single 27” now and it’s nice but it’s at the size limit for my desk.

Two monitors occupy more desk space than only one?

Hi,
Gaming two monitors is silly the crosshairs between screens and three is just to large of a foot print.

Hi,

I also find using two monitors or more quite inconvenient, tiring and anti-ergonomic, unless you have a specific thing to do, such as something like simultaneously tracking multiple airplanes at an airport...

No but can only fit one 27”.

4K is way too much resolution for a monitor below around 40" If you need to use display scaling your density is too high for desktop use.

2 monitors is basically the minimum for productivity, if not at least 3.

maybe a niche; no option above to choose but:

@ 38"

Ok, if you say so, I won't argue

I still use 5x 1920x1080 monitors in my main setup, 4 of which are connected to my main PC + 1 for another system. I've been thinking of getting at least one 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 monitor but I should upgrade my GPU first.
My TV is also 1080p (42" plasma) and I'm not going to upgrade it until I can get a similar sized (used) OLED for dirt cheap.

Well, there are some cheap TVs.
Hisense 55A8G for around or less than 700 eur.
LG OLED48A13LA for around 750 eur.

I went from 3440X1440 to 3840X1600 (LG 38GL950G) and it was quite a nice jump, too!
Obviously 3840x1600 is less popular, i dont even see it listed.

I still use a 2560x1440 165Hz, may upgrade GPU next year (still using a 2070 Super), 2024 a 4K 144Hz maybe?

Same still using a 27" 2560x1440 165hz Dell nano ips with a 1080ti

I just went from 1920x1080 a few months ago to, to 4k (3840x2160) with a SAMSUNG UE57 Series 28-Inch 4K UHD, my mind is still twisted.

I would have stayed with ultrawide but pain in the ass to stream, its always been like tho if youre one of the early adaptor of 3440x1440 you had to edit some .ini game file to run it ultrawide natively, glad you like the upgrade.

1920 x 1080 my resolution for now I hope it lasts longer...

Are you happy now with 3840x2160? It is better, isn't it?

Arkz · Jun 14, 2022

7680x2160 for me.

You got the 8k res wrong, it's 7680 not 7860.

AlwaysHope · Jun 14, 2022

I have 4 displays, only one is native 1440p, the rest are 1080p, but no option in the poll for more than 1.

Can't edit it.

It will be many years before we begin to see 8K monitors. The development is so slow:

This price tag is definitely unrealistic. The profit margin is probably 1000% on this.

O yes! lots better. Sometimes I just sit and watch some of the 4k relaxing music along with beautiful nature videos, they're really good for the soul.

You're a pioneer! You got the first next gen Radeon 7770!
