VZ_342 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi, Right now, I've got a triple monitor setup ((1920x1080)* 3 = 5760x1080) and considering upgrading to a 34" curved monitor (3440x1440). It's 20% fewer pixels, so my system should be able to handle it, and I won't be annoyed by the bezels anymore (they're minimal anyway). Has anyone done this? Was it worth it? Should I know anything about this swap before ordering it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucShep Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) If you're going from triple screens to a 21:9 superwide screen with 34'' size, then I think it would be a downgrade, in my opinion. It's a smaller screen area, and you'll surely notice it. If you like the ultrawide aspect of triple-screens, if it's bezels bothering and higher resolution impact concern, then consider a 49'' 32:9 monitor, with vertical 1080P resolution. The 49'' 32:9 is equivalent to 2x 27'' 16:9 monitors. For reference, currently you're at 5760 x 1080 resolution with your triple 1080P screens, that's a total of 6220800 pixels. You'll notice latest 49'' ultrawides are 5120 x 1440 (1440P vertical resolution, total of 7372800 pixels - will be heavier on the GPU). But there are other 49'' ultrawides that are 3840 x 1080 (1080P vertical resolution, total of 4147200 pixels - will be lighter on the GPU). Whichever the case, budget at least $700 up to $1500 (depends on the model and its specs). For example, among other models, the Asus ROG Strix XG49VQ is a 49'' ultrawide that is 3840 x 1080 144Hz. It's a 2019 model (high-end back then, was $1300) currently being sold at discount prices ($800 more or less). In your case, it may be worth a look.
