Dual Monitor for 1080 Ti?

[Da_Gamer_b]

Here is the list of monitors that I can buy (available on a local shop nearby): http://www.fractaldz.com/?c=11900 as shipping through Amazon using a Reship company will cost me a fortune.

Which one of these monitors I should get? I know you may not be familiar with the language but the model names are available on the title of each one of them.


and some other options: https://www.algerpc.com/gategorie.php?categorie=57


I would like to get two monitors as I will be doing some programming, and gaming but not much honestly. The graphic card will be either 1080 or 1080 Ti probably.

whats the budget?

I would get 1 2k monitor, to show the true power of a 1080/ ti .

I can't read (Danish?) but I would focus on a single monitor that's HIGH RESOLUTION first rather than get two, lower-resolution monitors.

Example 1:
2560x1440
IPS panel
6ms (or lower) response time
27"

Example 2:
4K
IPS
27" to 32" (higher for 4K is better)

Multi-monitor:
A lot of people I know choose a separate 1920x1080 monitor that has the same HORIZONTAL screen size as the main screen's VERTICAL length, and supports turning 90deg.

They then put it to the side and turn. Useful if the secondary content scrolls down a lot.

OTHER:
For main monitor, I'd avoid:
a) less than 1440 pixels horizontal (i.e get 2560x1440 or higher.. though some content doesn't scale well at 4K)
b) TN panels (lower quality)
c) low quality/ bad warranty (do research on exact model)

OTHER:
For HIGH RESOLUTION you'll want to change the DPI. For 2560x1440 I have 125% DPI scaling in Windows. maybe 150% if you go 4K. You'll also need to ZOOM web pages. There are addons for browsers, or you can just do it per-page manually (mouse scroll + CTRL).

i would actually go against this advice. Especially for programming or any use that involves any sort of productivity, 2 monitors can make a huge difference. I will not use a one monitor set up for anything besides gaming. I spend way too much time clicking around.

Outside of that one point, i agree with everything else he said. 2 of his example 1 would be great

edit - realized that you said 1 higher res over 2 lower res. That does make a difference and 1 1440 vs 2 1080 is way different than 1 1440 vs 2 1440. However my advice still stands. For productivity purposes, if the budget is restrictive to 2 1080, id still go with them over a single high res monitor.

For the budget, anything on that list should be good for me but as I said, I believe that monitors should do the job better for programming purposes.
