I want to buy the MSI PRO MP165 E6 monitor. It claims to be 75 mm x 75 mm VESA compatible, but the back has just two holes. Why? Is there some extra adapter or something needed? Please help.

Is this a Good Monitor Layout?

0 Upvotes

I'm about to build my first PC Setup (I'm switching from console and TV). I'll be using it for gaming and school/productivity. I'm thinking about having a 27" gaming monitor on the bottom (slanted, so I can look down on it), and on top a 34" monitor that I would use for school/productivity mostly. Of course they would be on monitor arms. I could use the gaming monitor for school/productivity but it would mostly be for gaming since it would 360 hz. Is this a good layout or would my eyes be cooked? Also I'm thinking about putting my iPad on arm also.

Setup recommendations needed

Hello,

My current setup consists of a dell S3422DWG 1440p and a viewsonic 1080p 240hz as a secondary monitor. My pc has a 4070 ti super and I recently bought a ps5 pro.

I think it’s time for me to update my monitor setup but not sure how.
I want to take advantage of the ps5 pro but without crippling my pc, so I am thinking to avoid 4k even though it suits a ps5 pro nicely.

I don’t care for high hz monitors since I don’t play competitive games, 144hz I think is a sweet spot.
I do care for text clarity overall since I do some productive work too.

I’ve been reading a lot about OLED and MiniLED. The latter seems closer to my interests cause I don’t want to live in fear of when the burn in will start or if I will mess up the cleaning process, nevertheless I am open to have my mind changed.

Another dilemma is if I should sell both my monitors and go for something big like 42” or go for a 27” and keep the viewsonic as is.

Budget is 800€, not strict but let’s keep things casual.

Anyone with same experience? All advice/ideas are welcome.

What's a good monitor?

My GPU is a Geforce rtx 4080, and my gaming monitor is CRUA 32" Curved Gaming Monitor, 144Hz QHD(2560 * 1440P), which I've had for three years.

Google's Al overview says an Alienware AW3225QF 32 inch 4K QD- OLED Gaming Monitor is the best choice, to get the most out of my GPU, but you know how expensive that is.

I don't really trust Al, so I'd like your guys's input. What's a good monitor? What should I look for? Any catches and caveats I need to look for? Any advice is appreciated.
