Need to hide my speaker cables somehow and get a stand for my headphones...

OMGGGG>>>>> please line the monitors up...PLEASE!!!!!

Tone1979 · 5 Feb 2018 at 13:29

Also, what monitors are they?

randomshenans · 5 Feb 2018 at 13:49

It's REALLY hard. The adjustment is so hard to get higher up as the weight then pulls it down. I am used to it

I need like 3 people to be on it, just to try and get it right and I don't trust my kids or wife ha

They're Samsung CF791 34" middle and C27F591 27s on each side.

Edit: I've just had a thought... I might lower the middle one, that might be easier... I'll try it this week. Didn't think of that!

Thanks, I would have a hard time passing by £2k of monitors past the mrs. I may try for the single 34" and see if she notices..

I can confirm that the CF791 34" is an amazing monitor, using mine now to type this. I was worried that it was just going to be a trend thing with ultrawide, but now I would struggle to go back.

Using your monitor to type? Was that in the updated model?

Who painted that wall?!!

The cutting in is hilariously rubbish!

My friend Dave, I've fixed it now though. I hate painting and he offered, although if you want a job done properly, do it yourself.

I actually thought when I typed that earlier someone was going to comment just like you did!

Your friend Dave has the lowest standards I've ever seen xD

He does indeed, that's across the board too, but he's not had your average teenage upbringing bless him, so I'll let him off.

do you play any games on it?

I do on my 38" Ultrawide - LG one from OcUK that doesn't seem to be listed anymore, but the Dell one they have in stock is the same excellent panel. Though with 3840x1600 pixels to push, you need a fair amount of horsepower. My 980Ti can just about manage v-sync @ 75Hz at native res in WoW, for example; but that's on a Mac. If I dual-boot to Win10 performance in games is much, much better.

Tone1979 · 6 Feb 2018 at 10:46

I have a 1080Ti so I hope it would be OK.

Just need to pass it by the mrs....

Yes I play games on it. With Civ6 the extra width really helps with the game. Skyrim ultrawide is very impressive too. GTAV also looked amazing with my 1080Ti at full whack.

Xandrael · 6 Feb 2018 at 20:59

My 38" ultrawide being powered by my decade old Mac Pro that I continue to keep alive with firmware hackery and a GTX 980Ti. It's got 32GB RAM and a 3.46GHz 6c/12t core Gulftown Xeon in it!

Cigarettes and a vape? tut tut
