dual ultrawide setup idea

[Evanokato]

So i currently have one 25 inch lg ultrawide. I want to go for a second monitor but idk whats better; getting the exact same monitor, or the 29 inch version (going for a stacked setup) going for stacked because an ultrawide next to a regular monitor looks weird.

For what purposes?
It's not like you going to game on 2 monitors. For displaying of apps, recording software, chat, etc while playing on min screen, a cheap 1080p screen in portrait mode works well for that

Just going to play games on the below one then discord and other stuff on the other. It's more like will i have an advantage if the gaming monitor is a couple inches bigger and will it look good. Or just a regular 1080p monitor on top is also an option

For secondary screen above, even a cheap 1080p HDTV would do, running the gaming display via DP and 2nd via HDMI

What would look better then? Having my current 25 inch ultrawide hdmi below and a 1080p monitor on top, getting the same exact monitor, or getting a better, larger dp monitor below.

Having something like an ultra wide acer predator 34 inch as the main gaming display if u can afford it. But the main high refresh display should always connect via DP, not HDMI

It should come with one. All the latest monitors should be using DP.

I did double ultrawide for work for a while (developer) and at home for gaming and it sucks ass man. I had them side by side and it was awful due to how far you have to turn your head all the time. Stacked it may be a little better but i never liked the stacked style. I dropped to 1 ultrawide and 1 regular monitor and it is infinitely better.

I have a similar set-up - 2 monitors. One Connected to my iGPU on the i7 (HD3000?) and one connected to my discrete card (GTX 1070). The one connected to my intel GPU is a secondary monitor (1680x1050) and the one connected to my main GPU is an HD 1080p. (dual screen for video and sound editing)

With this set-up I have only been able to side to side my screens via windows set-up. If I could connect my secondary monitor to my main GPU I would be able to have an over/under configuration. Or if I had a second 1070 GPU SLI with the right output I would be able to do side by side or over/under.

i hope that helps and doesn't confuse the situation.

Even if all you have are two displays and have to use hdmi for both, you can do that via a DP to HDMI adapter. But overall, gaming display should be using DP anyways
