Just got the Acer Predator and love it. Need a second monitor, once you go two you cant go back.
The Predator is 2540x1440, any thoughts on second monitor being 1080p as it will just be for web browsing/youtube..
Or should I go with something like Benq GW2765HT to match resolutions. My predator will be straight on and the new one to my left.
Thanks
It all comes down to personal preference really.
If I were to have a 1080p monitor aside a 1440p I'd go with something a bit smaller to maintain the same pixel density, otherwise stuff's going to be slightly sharper on one panel compared to the other. If you're switching between the two I could imagine it being noticeable. Especially if you had a 1080p at 27" aside a 1440p panel of the same size.
By my calculations, though, to maintain the same pixel density on a 1080p panel compared to a 1440p panel, you'd have to go with something 0.75x the size. So, for 27" a 20"ish panel. That's a bit small tbf, scrap that. Could go with a 21.5" smaller 1080p and use it in portrait though. I could imagine that working. It'd be taller than the 1440p though.
I'd get a second 27" 1440p monitor, for the sake of consistency.
I can't get along with using two different pixel height monitors. Your other option would be saving for ages and getting a 3440x1440 monitor.
I think 21.5 would just look so small due to the size of the 27" and the fact I use dual 24" at work..
I thought about going with a 4k monitor.. I wanted to keep price under $400 though so that pretty much is out. In the end I would be dumb and want one with gsync to see how that compares to my 1440p :P
