How to find a monitor with a specific height requirement for a sick setup?

Patrick_37 · Jul 18, 2017

I am building my dream setup wchich main part is the Asus PQ348Q Ultrawide Monitor. Now I am trying to find two additional monitors that I will put on both sides to make more work space.

The problem is I have no idea how to find those monitor, where to search and where to start and that is why I ask you for help. I have access to the Polish and German market.

I do not need any features in this additional monitors (refresh rate, sync etc.). The only thing that I care about is that they fit to my main monitor to create something like this (easier with 3 similar monitors):

The requirements are:
• 36-37cm height.
• Silver/Grey bezel similar to Asus PQ348Q
• VESA mount
• 16:9 or 16:10 = Non ultrawide

Bezel size is different from monitor to monitor and there is no-way I can check and know every available monitor on the market.

However, what I can tell you is that 34" 21:9 is the ultrawide version to 27" 16:9.
The height of 27" 16:9 and 34" 21:9 should be extremely close or not the same.
So, you should be on your way comparing all those 27" 16:9 monitors.
To achieve best result, you should look only for 27" 1440p 16:9 monitors.

Most spectacular rigs (as your using the image) are done by homebrew people, meaning NO you can't "BUY" like a car a specific size, color, etc. UNLESS money is no object and contact one of the Gamer Build Makers out there to do all the 'work' for you and all you do is set it up in your house (these are typically $3000-5000 ultra rigs).

If you want specifics, then you need to be a Mod maker yourself http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/casemods04.jpg
While you don't need to be that extreme, you do need the same basic skills they have, where you know how to use electric saws, airbrush painting, etc. they all espouse (basically have your own metal / wood working shop) and can 'customize' to YOUR vision down to the "mm" . http://www.overclock.net/t/1403910/bezel-painting-guide

That is your two choice.

Thank you very much! The 2560x1440 monitors are a bit expensive for a "secondary monitor". Does it make a big difference when used with a 3440x1440 main monitor and is it worth it or should I just buy an standard 27" 1920x1080?

Will there be any problems when I buy the 1080p version or anything bad about it?

If you use a 1440p as main or center monitor from 3, having 1 1440p and 2 1080p will cause an esthetic issue e.g. if you move windows from monitor to monitor, they will change in size, etc.
Games on surround will have different sharpness too.
I would not do this but you? I do not know, how you will see this esthetic issue.

Now, is it worth it to get 3440x1440? It depends on your taste and usage. I went for XB270HU and PB278QR (only 2 monitors). There is no general answer for this.

The new question if getting 3x1080p is enough, there is also no general answer to this.
I would not go back to 1080p but this is mainly because of the extra pixel real estate I need for work.
