Hi All,
I have always had 2 monitors as my pc is not just for gaming i do work from home every now and then also at evenings.
2 monitors are handy iv always had 2 but LOVE the larger curved wide screens.
Anyone else moved from 2 to 1 monitors?
I have a GTX 1080 windforce OC version GPU so i'm sure i'm fairly ok in terms of power for gaming.

So question is budget around £500-£600 maybe a push bit more.
1 large curved monitor or 2 smaller monitors if so what would you lovely people recommend?

Back in the day a monitor was a monitor not now :confused:

Gigabyte G34WQC looks to be incredible value. Depends how big your two monitors are, you may want to go with a 38" ultrawide instead, but the price goes up significantly for a decent one.

i have been looking at that for a few days now.
At the moment i have an LG 24" and a really old school samsung like 20" lol

Yeah that would be a massive upgrade then.

just worried about loosing the ability to multi task using 2 monitors but then with a larger screen i can just use half and half i guess?

Hi. Ultrawide monitors typically have picture-in-picture software, so you can split the screen into 2 separate work areas. Behaves like 2 separate screens, but both visible in front of you at the same time. If you check roundup reviews of ultrawide screens, this is one of the main productivity benefits.
