So I originally had 3 1080p monitors & I absolutely loved the setup for productivity, coding & general use.
I don't game on my computer, I just game on PS4 - so I'm not really considering this setup for gaming - however if I do go with a 4k tv, I would hook my PS4 up to it and use it for that as well.
I recently upgraded to a Dell 34" curved monitors & while I do love it, I'm stilling missing that 3rd panel for additional real estate for productivity.
I've realized that the 34" is great as a replacement for a dual monitor setup, but falls short of a 3 monitor setup & the 34" acting as a single monitor is kind of overkill in a lot of instances leaving too much dead space on the ends. . And yes I know there is know a 38" curved, but it's still not the same amount of real estate as 3 full monitors.
I am considering adding 2 additional 27" dell 1440 monitors to my 34" setup to give me my triple setup I need/want/used to. But the 34" still is kind of overkill for a single use monitor when not using it for multiple programs/windows.
So I'm highly considering moving over to a curved Samsung 60" 4k tv
But I do code, not a lot, but enough that I need to make sure my setup allows for it.
Isn't 4k bad for coding because of how small the resolution is? Or is that problem being fixed with upscaling/new software to help this issue?
Also if I would go with a 4k tv, I would want to be able to partition the screen so that I can run multiple programs across the desktop for productivity - is this even possible?
I currently have a EVGA 970, but would upgrade to a 1080 card if I go the 4k route.
Thoughts?
