Benn using a Hanns G hh241 which i bought used for 3 years now, the screen is heavily marked and has scratches on it, mostly from before i got it, and because i never bothered to clean it.
However i'm going to pick up an Ikea Fredde desk at the end of the week and would like to upgrade to a dual monitor setup during this month or next.
One will be for gaming, one will be for web browsing and I will be doing some photoshop work and video editing, which isn't often, but I would like the panel to have some colour accuracy.
I'm going to be sitting just over two feet away, and when the sun is up, the glare from behind means i cant really see on my cheapo TN panel possibly because its heavily marked.
My setup is in a conservatory so theres no curtains or anything to shield from sunlight. I also notice input lag on my monitor and when im playing heroes and generals and battlefield it frustrates me. Although it may not be input lag, and may just be me only getting 40-50 fps depending on the map.
But in heroes and generals with a lot of dark forrest areas it really is a problem. If i spawn inside a house i can't see where im going, partly because of all the marks on the monitor. Although im hoping the top shelf of the fredde desk would shield the moinitors a bit from the sunlight.
Im going to be getting a 1070/980ti or polaris 10 (480x). Possible upgrade to Vega (I like the name and the streetfighter character) i'm also of the belief that this is a benchmark so polaris is an option for me
The second monitor doesn't need to be great if the main one is good enough for gaming and content creation, I don't mind going used.
Originally I was thinking a TN 144hz 1080p and an IPS 1440p monitor but with the sunlight possibly being an issue is this viable? Could the sunlight be a issues because of how bad my old panel is? I did only pay £50 for the monitor.
I am not fussed about free sync or g sync, but I don't want to pay the ridiculous premium for Gsync if i can avoid it. Any advice?
TL;DR two monitors for an Ikea Fredde desk, sunlight possibly an issue, one for gaming with polaris 10/1070/Vega upgrade, one for browsing/minor photoshop work.
