Monitor Choice and Application

[Anonymous]

Hello, just wondering if anyone's using these monitors??

LG 32UL500-W flat screen? Or a MSI Optic MAG321CQR curved screen. I'm 🤔 thinking of using a three monitor setUp, not sure which one I would like to use two of. Any suggestions for me or insights on this?

Flat or curved both work for CAD. I prefer the latter considering the advantage it has over the Flat monitor when when it comes to video editing (wink ^^ and gaming 🙂 ). One thing I would highlight; the multi display setup might not work out so well based on where you sit with respect to the screens, how far and the built up width of the 3 screens.

In my home office im using an ASUS ROG STRIX Curved XG49VQ which is ca. 120 cm (width) and I can assure you it is not the same compared to my 2x MSI 32" Optix AG32CQ (ca. 140 together)... A little bit too curved or lets say not the same curvature compared to a single ultrawide from ASUS. You going for a setup of 3x 32'' im not sure how that will turn out.

Do let us know if you go for the 3xMSIs

Multiple curved displays do not always work as anticipated at least with CAD software. I am using a curved Asus ROG 43" and I definitely recommend to go with a single Ultrawide. You can always manage/split your screen into 3 or more virtual monitors and adjust their ratio to keep the primary centered in your field of view and the secondary to the sides

I highly recommend skipping the 32"monitor and use two 43" 4k monitors. that gives you good dpi, and enough space. 

Don't go by what gamers use. They need high fps and the GPU can't do that on 4K monitors.

the curvature length of 2x43'' and the optimal view distance at 4k, what you are suggesting = Serious Eye strain and Vertigo 

PS: I am not sure how FPS relates to CAD software but FWIW any half decent PC can do a solid 70fps on a 4k!
