general

just learned this exists

I have 500 bucks to work with

what should I get

bruh

I am tempted to get a third monitor

and one that is not small

like my other two

so I could have it in the middle of my desk, with my two smaller monitors on either side

get an ultrawide

you have two 24'' monitors?

a 3rd is probably a good buy

21'' and 19.5''

iirc

tiny

yes

I measured the bigger one and if I did it right it is 21''

you could get 1 larger monitor, and make that your main monitor

yeah that was the plan

what would you recommend size wise

as a decent monitor size

30

I use 27'' monitors, but your first thought when using it for a while will be "this is too big" (at least, that's the reaction I remember having as a kid)

standard size is 24-27

to clarify here's the space I am working with

what's the back of your desk like?

there is no back

wait yes there is nvm

solid wood

I was going to say, if you had someplace in the back to grab onto, you could get a monitor arm if that was preferable to jsut having three side-by-side

I prefer them being on the same level

I cleaned off my desk just to take this picture for you Pika

amazing

I've got two stacked on the left, and my main one is on the right

I guess if I got a third monitor I would need to figure out how the fuck to connect it to my pc

I assume your card has more outputs

either DVI, display port, or some size HDMI

I have 3 HDMI that are bigger then the current monitor HDMI I use

at least I assume they are HDMI ports

yeah, you're probably using miniHDMI then

did pika upgrade from tissues to paper towels?

Disaply ports

and you've got that DVI below it too

God, maybe I should take the time to actually fix my other two monitor setups while I am at it

have a usb to VGA running from pc to one monitor

and a HDMI to VGA on the other

I mean, if it works, don't touch it

fair
