At work I run a VNC session on a dual 24" 1920x1080 setup. At home I currently have a single 24" 1920x1080 monitor. This makes working remotely a pain because I have to use scrollbars to access the whole workspace.
I am wondering what type of monitor setup at home would be best for remote access to my work setup. When I work from home, I run a virtual machine and then access the VPN and VNC session from there. This has the effect of reducing the amount of screen real estate available for viewing my workspace because some of it gets taken up by the virtual machine window. For that reason, a dual 24" 1920x1080 setup at home would not work.
So far the only options I can see are the following:
single 34" ultrawide (3440 x 1440)
dual 27" 1440p (5120 x 1440)
single 27" 4K monitor (3840 x 2160)
I've heard the 34" ultrawides have backlight bleeding problems, but not having a bezel dividing the screen would be nice.
Other than work, I would use the monitors for movie/TV watching and occasional gaming (usually FPS) if it makes any difference.
I plan to upgrade my video card to support whatever option I choose, but if one option requires a significantly more expensive video card than another, I would take that into consideration.
