    Just swapped my 2 monitors over for 1 new monitor… going from dual monitors to a single monitor is weird. Add to that the new monitor is curved and I’ve never had a curved monitor. Very weird.

    Jeez it’s crisp though.

      I had 2 monitors for about a month and a half before I whacked it with something by accident and it died. Going back to 1 monitor really sucked cause I do a lot of things where I need a secondary window up with info and context on things. Then I upgraded to a small curved monitor which has a worse picture quality bus is decent enough. I don’t think I could go back to 1 screen now though, I’ve integrated it into my game flows so much now. I was even considering upgrading to a 3 screen system after I was gifted a new monitor, but I don’t have much of a use of even the desk space for it

        I much prefer the curved monitor over 2 monitors, not having a seam in the middle is much nicer. I don’t really like three monitors for most situations - you can’t actually focus on that wide a distance, so you have to turn your head to move from one to another, and for most things it works better to just change between windows. Moving the mouse pointer across three monitors is also pretty annoying.
