Hi All,

I'm looking to upgrade to a dual monitor set up. I currently.have an AOC 1440p 75mz 32" screen and was hoping I in could get some suggestions.

I dont want to reduce the resolution and would like to increase the to144hz if possible.

I was thinking 24" or 27"??

I also have some credit with Very that I would like to use but I appreciate that narrows my choices somewhat.

They currently have
Acer Predator XB271HUAbmiprz 27in Gaming Monitor for £399.

Would 2 of those be better than what I have??


This is my current monitor

Im thinking of going for 2 of these:

** Do not link to competitors **

They are the same resolution as my current monitor but 144hz

Running them in a dual set up config for gaming will I notice a resolution drop, these are 27" where my current is 32"?

Im liking the idea of curved for a dual monitor set up, what are your thoughts on curved for dual set up?

Running games across two monitors is a bad idea. You get a big black bar in the middle of your viewing area. For that you should get a 32:9 monitor like the Samsung CRG90 (though I'd wait for reviews). Two monitors is a much better idea for productivity. You will, for instance, find forums like this one much easier to use on a portrait-mode monitor. Likewise writing in Word et al.

Thank you for the reply and if I'm honest I did have reservations regarding were the bezels meet in the middle.

Would I be better of with just a larger wide curved screen?
 
Cheers chaps, I was looking at a 34" Ultrawide today that looks nice. Same res as my current monitor but 144hz.

The misses wants me to get a dual set up because it would be good for work, my little boy using the rig the most for gamjng though.

Thanks again.
