USB Monitor (2nd monitor) - Shadowplay question...

[anrkyuk]

Currently I have 1 monitor and I have only ever had 1 due to limited space. I've always wanted a second and I'm currently toying with buying an Asus USB C 15.6" monitor, but one thing worries me... Shadowplay.

I record most of my games for making guides and I would like to confirm before I take the plunge that I can set which monitor to record in Geforce Experience and that I can play full screen on the main monitor, displaying the desktop on the USB monitor using the Alt+Tab keys to switch between monitors to allow use of the mouse/keyboard on the USB monitor as and when needed without disrupting the game... have I got that right ?

You said you did not recall if USB was better than HDMI, so I clarified for you.

Ok, I don't know if English is your first language or not, so i'll let that slide, if it is, I advise you to read what I posted again...

English is my first language. I am well aware of what you posted. You may be the one confused about your own post

If the space is that tight, how about a dual vesa swivel mount and having two monitors stacked

Right, the first logical post, thank you Bad Motha.

While possible, I can't justify another £600 monitor, I also want to game on one and have the desktop/internet on the other, I'm not looking for multi monitor gaming / one large display.

You can get a good monitor for half of that, a mount would be $40ish.

"I do not recall asking if it will effect performance or recording or whether a USB monitor is better than a DVI/HDMI connection"

This statement says that I do not RECALL ASKING if a USB monitor is better than a DVI/HDMI connection.

I did not ASK if it was, I stated that I do not RECALL ASKING, as I DID NOT ASK, this was in reply to _I_ who told me to "use dp, dvi or hdmi for displays not usb".

Either that or I'm more sleep deprived today than I thought.

Right, I misread what Bad Motha said, I thought he meant two monitors side by side in portrait, which he didn't, so my post about another £600 monitor was silly sorry.

Ok, space to the left of my monitor is 2", to the right is 4" and above is 8" (due to wall mounted shelves), a second monitor above would not fit, although two in portrait side by side would, which I wouldn't want to do anyway.

Again sorry for my first reply to Bad Motha.

Yea you don't need a 2nd monitor to have the same features and refresh, or even screen res as the more expensive primary gaming monitor. Just gran a cheap 1080p monitor of about the same size. Gaming monitor should be using
DP already. Get another display that hdmi at the very least on it.
