That is a nice monitor, damn too bad you can't get a g-sync 32 inch 1440p monitor

For real. It would be nice to have 2 monitors the same size. In fact, I wish I had 3 (which I might do, with 2 more dells, if I like the one I just bought).

I have another desk setup with my new 1440p, 144hz monitor on it. I put it right next to my other desk. Both of them look like an “L” when together. I can easily move my chair to either desk. I just need to get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse now, so that both desks have them.

I’m keeping both monitors, and will play games on each one, depending on performance and locked frame rates, etc.

shyt takes up a lot of room, but it’s a nice setup.

You are separating work from gaming? I have several monitors for my line of work and homelab/gaming.
You should just put them together and when you want to switch between either 4k gaming or fps (144/165hz) or if you are like me and watching a 4k video while gaming on the other screen

It really is a shame 4k real gaming monitors will be too expensive to buy. The monitor/TV market really is trash. We should have 8K monitors/Tv by now.

Once you notice the difference with higher framerates, you aren't going to want to go back if you can help it

Dell has an 8k monitor

Dell has an 8k monitor

It doesn't have G sync or freesync, so there is no point

I have so many monitors breh that I’ve collected over the years. I use them for work and gaming.

I have a 34” dell 1440p ultrawide, a 5K dell, and three 25” 1440p, 60hz dells too all in boxes (on top of the 32” Acer 4K and my new dell 27” 1440p/144hz). I have been thinking of setting them all up (I have enough dp ports with the two titans). I just need another desk. shyt’s kinda unbelievable how many monitors I have

I tried selling a few of them, but monitors lose their value so quickly. I just decided to keep them. I think I’ll take advantage of that.

7 monitors in total

I would setup the first setup - 3 - 25 inch 1440p monitors together, put the 34 inch on top. Second setup - Acer and new dell you can put the 34 inch on top of another desk

Lol you have too much monitors for your use - case. Just sell them on reddit hardwareswap or craigslist

So, 144hz is nice and smooth, but I miss the detail and clarity of my 4K. I also got used to 32” (my dell 1440p, 144hz monitor is only 27”).

I’m definitely gonna get one of those new 4K, 144hz monitors when they come out. I want it all

Yeah, I’m gonna give it one more day and probably return it for an Acer Predator 27” 1440p, 144hz instead.

The color distortion when looking at dell’s damn TN panel is fukking terrible. If I’m not completely level with it, the screen distorts yellow.

I really wish they made a 32” 1440p g-sync. 27” is too small for me now.

Yup I knew you wouldn't like the dell gaming monitor. They are cheaper than competitors for a reason. TN panels are fukking horrible compared to IPS, only time I'll deal with it (buy again) is in 240hz monitor gaming or got a nice used deal

That's why I personally feel 1440 144hz/165hz is overrated. The 34 inches are a better medium and 4K 120hz tv gaming
