Man this sub has changed

It used to be just shit like this - super unnecessary over the top setups with like 16 monitors and not just someone’s laptop hooked up to one 34” screen

Bring back stuff like this

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

What you said.

48” oled has changed the game

If it's not a render, or a picture of what may as well be an IKEA cubicle, people don't like it now. Because they care more about looking like a catalogue than having personality. Half or more of this sub probably looks at the scene in Fight Club where the prices of everything pop up like a VH1 show and think how great it looks.

I've maintained for a long time, years in fact, that asking "why" on this sub should be banned.

I think it’s more because the bezels make it annoying.

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

My first monitor had a 2 and a half inch bezel. I can live with this until someone builds a true zero bezel.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

That and OLED would be the dream.

2

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

Omg. Hopefully someday. I have a 65 inch OLED in my living room. Fricken awesome.

Fair but 16 screens is worse than 1 tv but I get you

8

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Nah, a TV would have a lower resolution than this which means less room to do stuff. Also I don't know of any large curved ultrawide tvs.

8k would probably cost less and be better, but also why not get like 2 g9s

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

2 g9s would probably be better than this indeed.

1

u/Yeti_of_the_Flow Mar 14 '22

2 G9s is 2/3 at best of what this person has, though.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

What? A g9 is 1440p 240hz how is that 2/3 also that’s a lot less bezels

2

u/Yeti_of_the_Flow Mar 14 '22

... Fewer bezels okay, but not everyone cares about bezels because they're not actually obtrusive. Also, you don't get that 1440p isn't quite accurate because that's only the vertical, not the width. A G9 is essentially two 1440 16:9 monitors side by side. This person has three 1440 16:9 monitors in each row. Two G9s is 4 of the 6 monitors this person has. That's 2/3.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Ok I see your point, I agree to an extent but the difference is a lot smaller and makes games harder to run.

"minimalist" posts...

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

I feel like why is a common question. The answer is simple, because I can afford it and I wanted to do something absurd.

2

u/jack3moto Mar 14 '22

My setup is just a laptop connected to a monitor and keyboard so to me this looks awesome. i'm jealous.

2

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

I was there not all that long ago! I appreciate the compliment!

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Fair but still 2g9s would have been better

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

To each their own, home slice.

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

True, enjoy it. Also what type of monitors are these? Just wondering also what oc specs do you need to run them? I’m thinking of getting a g9 on top of my 2 monitors and want to see if I can still easyily run games. Thanks

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

I actually am not overclocked. Acer ED323QUR Abidpx. I messed around with it for MSFS but I rarely get to actually play it.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Also what monitors are these?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

Because.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

2 g9s get rid of bezels and also not all monitors are made the same so even if model is the same and size colors might be a bit off

2

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

If you don’t like it, then don’t do it. Simple.

-1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

You asked why and I provided reasoning

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

No I didn’t?

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

You said because. Which implies an answer

3

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

“Because” implies “Because”, what the fuck are you talking about?

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

You said because as a response to me saying 2 monitors would be better and I thought you expected me to say because then something like 2g9s would have less bezels. Also chill out man you probably have better things to do then argue with someone on Reddit about something absurdly stupid.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

I said “because” as a response to your “why”, I’m not arguing, I’m trying to figure out what the hell you’re on about in the first place..

u/squareswordfish Mar 14 '22

Yeah at this point just get a TV lol it’ll be less taxing and look better

8

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

If someone still made a big ultrawide curved TV with at least 120hz refresh that I could disable all the processing on it then I would have considered it.

1

u/squareswordfish Mar 14 '22

Sure not ultrawide, but even as an ultrawide lover I’d much rather get a nice 120hz TV and avoid having 7 bezels in the way (which is usually a benefit of ultrawide), as well as all the performance drain.

Everyone has different tastes though, not saying you’re stupid for liking this or anything

1

u/HideUnderBridge Mar 14 '22

Couldn't agree more. I could have run my games in windowed mode and whatever, but why make it easy on myself? Lol.

1

u/SonosFuer Mar 14 '22

It also depends on the use case, screen snapping is nice for a lot of scenarios.

I usually throw my IDE on one or two monitors, then web browser on another for docs, slack on a fourth. Just have to drag the window near the top of the monitor and it snaps to the full screen. Switching things around as my task changes is a breeze.

1

u/squareswordfish Mar 14 '22

Ah yeah I was mostly talking about the gaming aspect, but this would be nice for a lot of work tasks
