Two LG DualUps. That's 5120 x 2880 of Sway tiled functionality. My concern was finding big enough wallpapers; ended up writing a script that upscales and splits any image to fill them.
PC on the floor under the desk, 27" 2k IPS screen (looks great but unfortunately has some tearing issues due to mediocre top-to-bottom refresh speed. Fortunately I'm getting older so I really don't give a fuck about losing something like .016 seconds of reaction time to vsync), with his 24" ancestor on the side. The even older 24" that used to be my second monitor has been commandeered by my dad for his home office, so no third screen yet. (tbf he did technically buy it back then, since I paid half of it with my allowance and he paid the other half).
Just a single 49" 32:9 ultra wide - effectively 2x 1440p 27" monitors side by side. It's a MASSIVE improvement over having two bezels lined up straight ahead and always having my head turned to one side or the other, or having my desk set up asymmetrically with a single monitor head on and one off to the side.
It's rare I need two full 16:9 windows side by side - so for work, 90% of the time I've got a 16:9 frame centered, and extra content on the sides (outlook and teams for instance). Window snapping via Microsoft Powertoys - Fancyzones makes this so dead simple, so it's a quick keystroke to change the snapping zones and then I can do 2 windows side by side when I need it, 2 side by side+my teams, or 3 side by side.
And for play, let me tell you - games and anamorphic films look SO GOOD on this thing. Absolutely LOVE this monitor.
Well it certainly comes highly recommended from me! Never pay full price for it - it's constantly on sale, and it's cheaper now than the best sale price I could find a year ago - at $1100 currently. If you find it cheaper than that, you're in really good shape.
They do have much cheaper versions with the same screen size that are not OLED - but I think it is worth holding out and saving for this one personally.
I used to use a 49" ultrawide too; and let me tell you, with a window manager they are so fucking nice (with a standard desktop like windows; kde or gnome, I hated having to move my mouse that much)
I have "just" two 27"s where one is primary (240hz) im front of me and other is a secondary on the right side for stuff like discord or documentation etc.
Though I am very unsure about the curve. My primary is curved and it kind of sucks for media.
The curve is very slight - it really just brings the corners around a bit so they're closer to facing you, but they're not really. I haven't used a curved screen before this one, I think I wish it was a tighter 1000R curve but I hear people gripe about those.
Some games just support ultrawide resolutions natively out of the box - Balatro, It Takes Two, Tomb Raider 2013 trilogy. Others don't - and there are good mods in those situations by the community. Flawless Widescreen has worked, well, flawlessly for me on games like FFVIIR and Elden Ring. I got FFXV working I just don't remember how. And to really drive it, you'll want a decent GPU - I happen to be using a 3090 and it obviously does the trick.
I love that this is where we're at - that a single handheld computer can do it all. We're in the middle of a move and I packed up my entertainment center, short of the TV and Chromecast - so a few weeks ago I used my mobile dock to play my Steamdeck on the TV and it was excellent. Love the versatility of that thing - just wish I had the OLED version, but guess I can hold out for the sequel for now.
Single 27" 180hz mini-led which will eventually get swapped for an OLED (waiting until I have more space so I can go back to a single 42" 16:9) Also a 14" secondary display that gets moved between my desk and bedside Pi for Kodi. Everything is offset due to a wall next to my chair, I can't sit any farther to the right lol.
the monitors are on independent monitor arms (I usually have them together like a big ultra wide), and the OLED is connected on a TV stand next to the desk. I use the OLED from the couch, but I can see it from the desk, too.
A 27" LG 1920x1080 LCD with a 3" vertical gouge in one side and a wrinkly backlight diffuser sheet. To the left, a 22" LCD of some sort, and further left, the 15" LCD of the ten+ year old Toshiba laptop that's running the show.
But I'm lazy and mostly just use a 17" FHD laptop to Rustdesk into the Toshiba from the lounge.
Went back to a single monitor: 32" 1440p at home, 24" 1080p at work. The 32" is big enough to have two windows side-by-side, so I rarely miss having two screens.
Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).
I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.
Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.
2 Asus 27" 1440p monitors center and right. 1 Dell 4k ultrasharp on the left and my laptop display underneath. My own PC connects to the two Asus; my work laptop connects to the Dell and center Asus and depending on if it is work time or play time, I swap the input on the center monitor. Input director provides mouse and keyboard access across both machines and works really really well. I do use all 4 monitors throughout the day; the personal machine isn't tied into work but with input director the clipboard is shared across for copying and posting information found on searches etc. I work remotely.
You can probably find a shitty monitor for cheap off Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. I bought a shitty VA monitor for $20 like ten years ago and it's still part of my setup
