How many displays does your primary home desktop have?

Video card(s), Resolution(s), Monitor size(s) and whether or not you use a multi-monitor stand would be interesting as well.

I honestly dont know how people do it with only one, i guess ive become accustomed to having two but its so nice to be able to have afterburner and Hw monitor open on second display and monitor hardware temps, fps, etc in real time while i game.

A 4k monitor, plus a 1440p monitor in portrait orientation. I did have another 1440p for a while, but couldn't find a use for a third monitor. Currently powered by a Fury, but I've been using two monitors since about 2000AD, with a multitude of cards over that time.

I mount them on separate monitor arms so they don't take up any desk space, since I don't have a desk.

I'm running a couple of 4K screens, on a pair of machines. Was 1080P screens.

3x Dell U2412M at home (yay 1200p)


3x HP ZR2440w + 2x Dell 2007FP at work (again yay 1200p)

[2560x1440] [3440x1440] [1200x1600]

Used to have [1200x1600] [2560x1600] [1200x1600]

I was planning and will still probably remove the old 2007fp 1600x1200 that is in portrait once I redo my computer setup in a few days. Recently got the 27" 1440p to match my 3440x1440 main. If I was crazy I'd buy a mount for the 30" 2560x1600 and mount it above... but don't think so

These were in the form of two 20" and one 30" right? If so, that was a pretty awesome combo because the 20" 1600 x 1200 turned 1200 x 1600 in portrait mode has the same vertical distance as the 30" 2560 x 1600 in landscape (re: 20" 1600 x 1200 has the same pixels per inch as 30" 2560 x 1500)

Very nice.

P.S. What sizes are your new 2560 x 1440 and 3400 x 1440?

This was probably Bacon1's setup :

Yeah I had them PLP. I'm a big fan of everything matching height (both physical and screen res) so thats why I'm probably going to ditch the 1200x1600 though it does have its uses... Don't think I'll get a 3rd 27" though because they take up a ton of room . Haven't decided how I want to end up mounting them with just two though, might offset the 34" from center.

The 34" is Acer XR341CK so it's the same height as the 27" Acer B276HUL next to it. Why I spent the extra for a IPS 1440p over a 1080p even though its just a side monitor for web browsing / movies. Got both for great deals from acer's refurb site though so

This was probably Bacon1's setup

Yep! Worked great, and sadly never got to game PLP because I didn't upgrade to my Fury (which does support PLP Eyefinity) until after I replaced the 30" with a 34" Ultrawide. Was an amazing setup for a long time though. Movie watching on the side monitors wasn't ideal though since it was like watching on half the screen in portrait mode. Great for documents / web browsing though.

Two, have gotten used to having the 47" extended on the left side with the Dell 29" EW and the 7.2 while messing around. Still 1080Ps.

Pardon my messy old pic.

 

[Tweak155]

I had one for quite a while (once I jumped to 2560x1440 and now 3840x2160) but just recently attached an extra monitor I bought for other purposes. It's nice having a full screen game on the 4K and have scrolling scores of football / hockey or hardware temps on the other. Only started doing this last week actually.

3x1080p dell s2415h. Using a triple monitor stand. Powered by 2x 290s

 

[Muadib]

One 27". My desk is too small for 2.

 

[Puffnstuff]

I contemplated multiple displays then settled on a single 34" curve which makes working on documents much easier than with my previous 27" monitor. I use programs that don't work right when multiple monitors are present so a single solution was the best option for me.

 

[GeoDragon]

3 monitors, one 32" for movies - one 23" touch - one 23" standard - All 1080p
Video cards - EVGA GTX 970 and 650TI

 

[Elfear]

2 monitors for me. Main is a 40" 4k Phillips and the side monitor is a 27" Acer XB270H. Originally I thought I'd use the 27" for fast-paced shooters or anything that could take advantage of the higher refresh rate but I don't think I've ever gamed on it since I bought it. The 40" is just so immersive and the games I've been playing don't need 144Hz (Skyrim, 7D2D, etc.). Although, I have been getting back into Borderlands 2 so maybe I'll see if speed trumps resolution for that game.
Video card in sig.

 

[repoman0]

One 32" 4k. I use it unscaled so I have plenty of screen real estate and don't feel the need for a second.

 

[mnewsham]

Dual 1440p

gtx 275, 24'' 1080p

I think the next monitor will be an ultrawide or just a big 4K because I don't really have space on my desk for 2 screens due to the big speakers, plus I'm using 2 monitors at work and I'm not convinced there's a meaningful difference that you can't handle with software between one big monitor or two smaller ones, plus the possibility of portrait mode doesn't attract me much because it's uncomfortable to read up and I can cover all the space from eye level down to the desk with a monitor in landscape mode.

 

[goldflag]

I built a ghetto triple stand with two cheap 21" 1080p monitors i snatched for 50 bucks on craigslist and this one. In the center is this AOC monitor. It's not very good but its the cheapest thin bezel monitor i could find lol.
