I'm in the market for a new monitor. My setup is both for gaming and working and I'm using a gigabyte 27" 1440p/144hz monitor and an old dell 23" monitor. While refresh rate is great on the gigabyte monitor it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of picture quality. The old DELL looks even better than the newish gigabyte monitor.
I wonder what everyone else is using these days ? I can take some inspirations from your posts.
I use 43" Dell Ultrasharp, it comes with built-in kvm for switching between signal sources so I can connect both my macbook and linux laptop. There is only one tiny but very annoying problem with this setup, macbook will cause screen to restart randomly, sometimes it will make cracking noise... if this was not happening I would say it's almost perfect.
Single AOC 27" UHD monitor on my desktop Windows system at home. I use multiple desktops for context switching. No gaming, just a bit of dev and photo stuff.
At work, a couple of Dell 27" UHD monitors attached to my Windows laptop via DP ports on a dock. Single desktop as I have plenty of screen space. I mostly live in Visual Studio and Outlook/Teams.
No complaints about either - all works pretty well.
I find one 4K is good. I wouldn't bother with anything not 4K these days.
I was reminiscing about how much dual monitors used to be a pretty standard thing, and definitely pretty helpful when economical monitors maxed out at 1920x1080, but seems much less prevalent these days. Not too surprising I guess considering the costs, space consumption, hardware, cables, etc etc.
27" 4K monitor (163 ppi, not amazing but decent), 60Hz refresh rate so it's not for gaming or anything. Screen to the left is my MacBook Pro with a 16".
Then I have another monitor behind (connected to another computer) in landscape mode showing some dashboards etc, but it's off at the moment.

I like having two, because you can dock/organize windows more cleanly than with one giant monitor.
