Hi all. I am new to this thread and I have just purchased three 30" 1600p monitors from Dell. Graphics is not a problem since I am running a liquid-cooled triple-Titan rig. I mainly use this for school/document work, Civ 5, music production, and just browsing around.
Now my dilemma is whether to set the three displays in portrait or in landscape.
As of right now, portrait sounds more appealing because:
1. 30" displays are massive and putting them in landscape might make me move my head a lot sideways and may be uncomfortable.
2. Document work, school HW, and browsing all seem better with portrait displays since (naturally) we always scroll vertically when doing such activities.
But now here is the problem:
Music production, which I cannot give up has a longitudinal (horizontal) workflow. We scroll through the musical ideals horizontally and edit/arrange all horizontally. So this is an issue because I absolutely love music production.
I think the deciding point will be how Civ 5 matches up with the setups. What do you guys think? Does Civ 5 go better with portrait or landscape? What would you guys do in this situation?
Thanks
