Problems with using monitors of different brands

[Vorpike]

I've heard that if I use 2 or more monitors of different brands in a multi-monitor setup, there still be some problems (besides the appearance), what exactly can go wrong?

The pixels will become corrupt and start displaying colors our eyes are noy capable of seeing as well as epilepsy.

Just kidding! There's nothing that will cause any problems. Just be sure to set the primary monitor in the graphics properties and be sure to indicate if you want to extend or duplicate otherwise you'll need to do this everytime you startup.

Well I know someone who works for Intel and he says it's best to use the same monitor.

No, you can use 2 different types, trust me. I some times use my monitor and tv when my dad's not home so it will work for you if it does for me!

No, I'm talking about under-the-surface things, such as extra strain ony eh gpu.

It will not cause strain but running in higher res might cause extra strain. Also what could be to you downfall insignificantly is gaming in full screen will cause the other monitor to black out. You can fix this by going into windowed mode ALT+ENTER
