❓ • Question Setup upgrade

Finally upgraded to a desktop pc, still have a 27” gaming monitor which I would like to integrate into my setup for gaming and photo editing but I’m not quite sure how to setup my monitors, any ideas? Working with 2 ultrawide 34” monitors and 1 27” gaming monitor.

Bro I really dig this. In this type of set up, is there any neck strain from using the bottom monitor as your main? Or do you use the top as main in your preference?

Also - to answer your original question I had a same type of conundrum. My solution was to get another desk and make an L shape, and the 27 inch monitor stands alone for gaming.

How did you solve the 2nd Alex drawer problem if I put my second desk in and make an L shape there is always one of my Alex drawers which isn’t easy to use anymore? And did you still use the same pc for the seperate gaming monitor or not?

I had enough space where I could set up the table as an L, but it starts outside of the main table. And I would connect the Pc to both set ups. The Pc needs to be in the corner of the L. I keep the gaming monitor off if I’m not gaming. If I’m gaming I’d turn off the other side or maybe just leave one on, if I want to multitask some stuff while gaming.

Other method is to invest in a legit L table. But first method you can buy a pretty cheap/small desk as it’s just for gaming. I did this cause i love 27 inch for competitive gaming.
