i currently have 3 x 28" monitors side by side. 2 are benQ and 1 Asus. the quality is fine, but the newest is at least 5 years old if not more, and the others much older.
i'm wanting to upgrade all 3 screens at some point, however for now i have the budget just for 1, partially because my bank just gave me £200 for a mistake on their part, so i have that i want to spend, plus about another £250 i'd put towards it, so budget around £450.
what i can't decide is should i get a 32" screen now, and then another 32" in the future, and drop down to 2 screens, or perhaps 34" ultra wide now, and another 34" in the future, and end up with lots of space, but i'm not sure i'll really ever need that much space, or perhaps 2 x 32" and a 20" or so screen to the side i can put smaller things like emails.
i am also concerned dropping the quantity of monitors, as right now having 3 screens is super easy to organise my space, chucking windows into screens creates a clear divide where a window can end.
i barely do any gaming on my pc these days, but i do some still and enjoy it when i can on pc, though it's more RTS style games i pivot towards on pc. the main use is for work and i have at least 3 windows infront of my at any point, though often working with around 5/6 windows
so with the above, what would be your suggestion, with a budget of around £450
thanks
