triple monitor setup 25" or 27" (1440p)

[lukx]

What would be more comfortable triple monitor setup for graphic work (3d, 2d - 3dsmax, photoshop, zbrush etc)
I'm thinking about 25 inch (dell 2515h) or 27 (dell 2715h, 2717d). I'm not sure if 27 isn't going to be a bit harsh on head movement and maybe it's better to go after smaller ppi and choose 25". What's your opinions?

I've got a triple monitor setup using dell s2415h's at 24" and I wouldn't go bigger myself. It's already quite massive just due to have 3 monitors. 3 27's would be enormous

With 3 x U2414H myself, I wouldn't recommend any bigger unless one or more will be in portrait. With 3 x U2515 (Width: 22.4" ) you're looking at 67.2" edge to edge. With U2715h (Width: 24.12"), you're looking at 72.36" edge to edge.

Why not just one large 4k..? Equal to four 1080p monitors...

I would agree, a 37-45" 4k monitor would be my preferred currently.


The dell 43" 4k can be found for under $1k on amazon in the US.

Yep^.

Not-to-mention.... cleaner looking, less cables, less heat, less headaches, less money and less power.

I think 27" is too much head movement. I went from a SINGLE 27" to triple 27"s a few months ago. I end up using 2 only unless I really need the 3rd. But at the same time 1440p is really small in text and content for anything smaller than a 27" You probably want text scaled up at that point.

Using discord (and that terrible gray font) on a 1440p screen is terrible.
