Nice setup! I almost got that case, but kids with nut allergies, avoided the walnut wood. Not sure if it would have been an issue, but wife didnt want to take a chance.
 
Nice setup!

I am curious about the use case for this many discreet screens? I have 3 large monitors myself just to have the screen space, but wonder if you have something more specific in mind?

Software development stuff. It's a lot more efficient to have things always on screen so I can see them without losing my spot and tabbing out, and they have a consistent spot so I can just mouse over to them without having to rearange things. I have a lot of things up when I'm developing. Multiple code windows and browser windows, designs and documentation. The normal work stuff like email and microsoft teams. A bunch of other development stuff like postman and docker.
 
I just realized I've never clicked on this thread in all the time I've been here.

And I just gotta say, especially to the people in this thread posting in the first 5-10 years..... SHAME!

If all of you hadn't abruptly switched to LCD just because text looked a bit better and the screen size was bigger by a few inches, then CRT's probably would have been produced for a longer period of time.

And then we wouldn't be in this current situation where everybody thinks sample-and-hold blur is just how displays should look, and don't even have a mental frame of reference to understand strobing technology like Pulsar and why its important.

I mean, it's definitely a domino effect. Because so many of you accepted horrific motion clarity and contrast in exchange for a "sleeker" monitor, we're in a position where market demand for strobing is so low that we may not see Pulsar-like OLEDs until the 2030's!

Heh, I was a CRT holdout until 2013 and only got an LCD when I heard about about "Lightboost" on the Asus VG248QE from Blurbusters. I kept chasing motion clarity for years after until my interest switched over to HDR, but I do admit the new Gsync Pulsar displays have definitely renewed my interest in chasing motion clarity again.

As someone slightly traumatized by having to lug a 150-pound 36-inch CRT TV into my first apartment, I'm pretty glad we moved to flat-panel displays as quickly as we did.

As it is, it's wild to think that I have a 27-inch, 5K display on my desk with color accuracy that movie studios would have ached for 10-20 years ago!

I had a 32" crt tv. Moving was monumentally painful.

I gave it away, it was still a nice TV too, then once I started retro-computering I wished I'd kept it for my Apple 2's.
 
Here is a pic of my current setup. Bottom display is the new Asus VG27AQ3A 1440p, Top is an Asus VG278 1080p, and the small one on the right is an 8.5 inch tablet (800x1340) connected using Spacedesk.

you are still using 2 x HD monitor? I have been using 4K monitor for 9 yr., and I don't find that resolution to be high enough. I can't imagine if I am still using 1920x1080 resolution. I can't get anything done.

I am on disability, can't afford 4k. I just upgraded to the 1440p monitor this week. I am very happy with it at the moment.
 
but you bought TUF monitor, the combined cost of 2 of these is the price of a Viewsonic 4X 43" VX monitor

I bought the 1080p monitor several years ago from a pawn shop used. The 1440p monitor was on sale for $200 and I got it on payments from Amazon. The payments for it are $40 a month, the payments for the VX are $114, plus I don't have the computer to play games at 4k, so I would have to also get a new video card and a power supply. Trust me, it's out of my budget, this is as good as it gets for me at this time.
 
Well, since it's a $200, it's a good deal for TUF. I can't remember the warranty on their monitor is, but on their TUF motherboard, it's 5 yr. The only motherboard series I know that gives 5 yr. warranty. TUF is the bullet proof series, nothing can go wrong.
