Monitor chat.
I wonder if I'm looking at things the wrong way. I've been holding out for something 'right' to come out and nothing has materialised.
I THINK I want a pair of 27" monitors, 1440p or higher, minimum 144hz (240 would be lovely). No big bezels/logos/physical switches on the front, no RGB gibberish.
A variant of the Dough Spectrum looks pretty solid to me but I'm advised by the resident bmx116 not to risk giving them money.
But DO I want a pair of 27" screens? My reasoning is so I can have editing software (realistically PUBG) on one screen and a script/brief/email/research whatever on the other.
But can you compartmentalise an ultrawide? What about performance? Where would I get the best performance? Two x 27" or an ultrawide? I'm presuming I don't want a regular 16:9 in 40" or something? If it's two x 27" monitors, I'd like both to be the same - ideally with some calibration so if I ever cross between windows with software my colours won't shift.
Who's using what? At home I'm currently on a single 27" 1080, 240hz screen which is absolutely fine for PUBG but I struggle with juggling work on it (though I do plug the editing monitor over a decklink, to a SmallHD Cine 13)
