Would a 27" ROG Swift Monitor (16:9) be the same height as a 29" or 34" Wide or UltraWide monitor(21:9)?

Looking for a second monitor to pair with my primary gaming monitor with as much screen real estate as possible, but want it to look as seamless as possible. Potentially going with 1440p or 4k on the second (wider) screen.

What is the purpose of the second monitor? If not for gaming, then don't buy a gaming one.
Answering your question, 27" monitor will have the same height as the 34" ultrawide monitor.

most if not all monitors have the height in the specs.

+Technocaveman But only a few of them tells about the height of the SCREEN.

27 inch rog

= With Stand: 620 x 553 x 238 mm
Without Stand: 620 x 363 x 66 mm

34 inch rog wide

With Stand: 829 x 558 x 297mm
Without Stand: 829 x 323 x 109mm

I work from home in technical engineering sales. 3d modeling, scanning, printing etc...

Multitasking doesn't quite do it justice. During one phone conference I'll be looking at 4 windows simultaneously and tabbing over to 8 or 10. Higher resolution and more screen space means better detail looking at CAD models.

I'm seriously considering 3 40" 4k TV's, but I know the games I play would suffer. But I don't play as much as I used to... I'm torn.

Edit: P.s. I'm pushing these with a GTX980M 8gb. Connections are limited to 1 usb3c, 1 minidisplay 1.2, and 1 hdmi 1.4.

One 43" 4K TV will be big enough for advanced multitasking. No need for two, let alone three. You won't suffer while gaming if you buy a 4K TV that supports 1080p@120Hz which is great for gaming (there really is one). Assuming you have USB-C that has 32Gb/s of bandwidth, there should be a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 adapter.

IDPROG I appreciate the input, but you really shouldn't assume to know what other people's needs are. I currently run two 24s and a 32. More than one 43" and I need more space/resolution. Guess I'm special, lol.

Unfortunately 4k@120hz is not possible over hdmi 2.0. Some can drop down to 1080p @120hz. What's odd to me is that even the TV'S with a native 120hz resolution (there aren't many) don't typically have connectors that support this stream.

YouTube "three 40 inch LG monitors gaming" awesome video.

I can only recommend you 1 4K TV because you only have one connector that's suitable for full 4K@60Hz. A TV never supports Displayport, and HDMI 1.4 is only capable for 4K@30Hz. Maybe instead of buying a TV, just buy a 40" 4K MONITOR instead so that you can use your Mini Displayport and have 2 4K screens at the same time.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, but you could push two 4k@60z using USB3-3 to HDMI 2.0 adapters, seeing as USB3-C can support 120hz.

You're also forgetting about the MiniDisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapters.

A 40" 4k monitor with a built in DP connection will cost well over $1,000 right now. A 4k TV can be had for under $500 (actually under $400 if you're a Vizio fan).


SO... back to my main contention...

The ROG Swift would basically be the "gaming primary" and the other monitor would be the "everything else" primary. Besides the original question which has been answered for the most part (27" 16:9 matches up with 34" 21:9 fairly well), how would 4k@60hz stack up against ROG Swift's G-sync, or should I look for a 4k@120hz monitor.

Currently leaning towards twin 4k 40" TV's as gaming isn't my first priority and the $670 Swift is a tough pill to swallow at *only* 27" and not 4k.

If the USB-C supports Thunderbolt 3, then yes, it should be able to power 2 4K@60Hz displays. But the problem is, there is no USB-C to two HDMI 2.0 adapter. About Mini Displayport to HDMI 2.0 adapter, read this past thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2554074/displayport-hdmi.html
Note that G-Sync is only, and ONLY useful for gaming. There is a 43" 4K IPS monitor that supports Displayport 1.2, and it's not $1000, although I'm not sure about the quality (it's a Korean monitor). http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=9SIAACM3UU8375
You can use it for many purposes.

Lots of people claiming to have it working 4K@60hz with 4:4:4 color in the Q&A and Reviews section.

The link you provided was to a thread from 18 months ago.

I'm sure there's some considerations in selecting the monitor and making sure you're using the 2.0 port, and that its not looking for a 1.4a signal.

 

[IDProG]

Then you'll be using 2 adapters: Mini Displayport to Displayport and Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0. That's no problem though. All problems solved. You're able to use 2 4K@60Hz display now, congrats! By the way, here is the link to the TV that I've been talking about. http://www.sony.com/electronics/televisions/xbr-x830c-series
You'll notice that 1080p@120Hz isn't written there. Here is the proof that the TV supports 1080p@120Hz. http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x830c
I'll be building my first PC next year, and I'll use the 43" version of the TV as my monitor. Since you only do 3D rendering, no need to buy a HDR monitor. Hope you enjoy it!
