Good day, everyone!

I'm looking for some help on a setup for a work device I need to setup for my office. I need to setup a Windows device at our firm that needs to have 4 monitors. I'm trying to go with a smaller form factor desktop (mainly been looking at Dell) that can support that many monitors, but struggling to find one that has more than 3 ports. Now I'm looking at discrete video cards, but struggling to find one that fits the system that isn't overkill. The only reason we really need the video card is for the multiple displays, not for any additional performance.

I've seen the NVIDIA T1000, just not sure if it will fit in the small form factor Dell Precision/Optiplex line of desktops.

I've also had the though of just daisy chaining the 4th monitor, sind the Dell Precision/Optiplex models have 3 DP ports, but again, not certain if this will work or not.

Thank you in advance for the advice/thoughts!

Hey everyone, I would greatly appreciate advice on a new work & gaming station. I currently have my L desktop, extended into one long desk with my personal on the left and my work laptop attached to two monitors on the right. I slide back and forth between the two but it is kind of annoying and not the most efficient. Current setup is a 32 in curved main monitor, 28 in asus on the left, and old 23.5 in asus on the right. My work station is a 15in laptop, and two hp monitors with one being a docking station as well. 25.25 in and 24.5 in for the size.

Current setup: https://imgur.com/a/dTr5j1E

New things for my workstation:

• Desk
• Monitor Stands (To be able to hold up to 6 large monitors in total, potentially 4 32in)
• Monitors (Always open to recommendations)
• A midi sound controller to switch from headphones, mic, speakers etc
• Speakers

My thoughts are to stack the two work monitors on the left, keep my main curved monitor in the center then get two or three new monitors to complete the 2 row setup. I'm mainly concerned with what desk and monitor stands to buy for all of this but midi & speakers would also be appreciated.

Have a rog Strix g18. Does anyone make a triple screen add on that matches the screens on lap top. Just now found out they made triple screen options

Selling my Quest 2 as I want to try a triple monitor set up and as my first instinct was cost over homework...... that was an Offerup/ open box/ Samsung S32c394ean32" with a 1000R Curvature (for a great price) screen

Screen

So as this is my starting point what should use for the two side screens do I continue with two of the same or would wide flat screens be the way to go.

I hate to look for the easy way out but if anyone could point me to options for the other screen I would be grateful.

I am also selling the Logitech gear for a Fanatic set up so the sim rig is going to be reengineered in the coming months to accept the upgraded gear

BTW this is the1st sim build which worked great with the Quest 2 and a next level racing Motion platform simple and effective for fun driving obviously it needs improvement for the future.

Simple

I'm glad I found this sub. My current setup is 2x PC's (two keyboards, two mice, etc.) with 6x 21.3" eizo S2133-BK monitors. I have it setup 3x wide, 2x tall like this. I'm having issues with the square monitors. It's all just really old hardware and the resolution gives me trouble with some websites and applications.

I'm looking to get widescreens and I'm torn between K.I.S.S. and just go buy 6x 24" monitors... Or should I do something like that giant Dell 43" monitor that supposedly splits into 4x screens?

One of my biggest concerns is screen sharing and remote desktop sessions. Right now I use RDP and VNC a bunch, and I'm often on a call where I need to share screens. That's perfect now because I can rdp into a machine, share that screen, and still have a ton of extra space for other things. Windows RDP doesn't really like to do the whole split-screen thing... And I don't mind split-screen if the monitor is big enough, but I feel like with a 27" monitor we have, full-screen is a bit of a waste for some things, but split-screen is a little too narrow for two web-browser sessions.

What's a good balance going from 6x 21" square monitors to 3-4-5-6 widescreens? I was thinking maybe three: Two on the right in landscape and one on the left in portrait mode. Or maybe four: Two on the right landscape and two on the left that are 2x smaller 24" monitors.

I'm also a little OCD: I'd like the whole thing to be square/rectangle. I really don't want different sizes and lines that dont't match up, etc.

​

If possible, I would prefer not to use nvidia surround

Hey all.

Looking for a setup for productivity, which is mainly IT support/excel, screen sharing, a bit of dev work.

Currently have 1 X 38" screen and whilst it's good for most things, I miss having multiple screens properly segregated. Also on a work laptop can't use power tools.

At my office desk I have 2 X 27" screens and I feel that's not quite enough, hence looking at 3 X screens.

Considering either 24" or 25" so the peripheral view isn't too crazy.

Ideally all one usb-c, will be using a MacBook Pro and a Dell laptop (separately)

Any thoughts on hardware/Res?

I looked at the dell 2534 for example and many others.

Thanks v much

I need a Bezel-Free Kit for a triple 31.5" R1000 monitors(MSI MAG325CQRF QD) setupSomething similar to thisAmazon.com: ASUS ROG Bezel-Free Kit ABF01 Universal Multi-Monitor Setup with Optical Micro-structures Easy Assembly (Set of 2) : Electronics

I don't see any way to change theses options and the "PC screen only" seem refer to the screen #1 and "Second screen only" refer to the screen #3 even my screen #2 is check as my main windows …

Someone have a way to change those settings ? the goal is switch to my main screen only when I play some big AAA game, to gain some FPS because is already an ultrawide screen !

I'm planning a three monitor setup, a couple of 27s and an ultrawide (probably a 34 unless the price on the 38s collapses, lol?). I want to have the two floating over the ultrawide but damned if I can find anything searching "2-over-1" or "Inverted Pyramid Mount". Does this thing exist and I'm just searching for the wrong term? Would I be better off keeping the two on one arm (probably a tall mount) and the ultrawide on a single-mount (probably regular height)?

Thank you!

Hello, I am new to this and trying to set up my laptop with 2 other monitors. The laptop is an older HP 15. I bought my 2 monitors and realized the type C port is data only and does not support display. Is there anything else I can buy to bypass that? please help.

thank you!

Hello,

I've dell latitude 3400 at my work and wanted to use 3 monitors (1x vga, 2x hdmi)

I requested Usb-c hub from it, which is baseus 9in1 with 1x hdmi and 1x vga ports.

I connected all monitors but vga and hdmi had mirroring so it was like 'abb'.

When I plug off integrated hdmi it goes back to 'ab' through usb-c hub. I couldn't make 'abc' and still have 1 dead monitor on my desk.

Any ideas to make it work in some way?

Hi! I have a 3 monitor setup [ ][ ][ ] with adjacent curved 2560 x 1440p monitors. Sometimes I like to use NVIDIA's Surround feature to combine all displays into one ultrawide 7680 x 1440 for fullscreen applications to enable immersive gameplay or design. However my common use case is that my center screen is my "work" screen and the side screens are informational aides.

The current process is to enable surround when I want to use it and disable it when I don't, but this isn't ideal as I have to open various menus and click various settings and wait. I'd be much happier if I could set "templates" to swap between that carry over the information so that switching is a matter of 2-3 buttons rather than 2-3 different menus with subcategories that have to be set independently each time.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way where I can utilize Windows' multiple desktops / multitasking features to have virtual desktop 1 configured for my main use case and virtual desktop 2 configured to be extended so all I have to do is swap between virtual desktops to have my video settings the way I'd like them.

Also, if windows and NVIDIA don't allow for this natively (I suspect they don't based on my testing) does anyone know if there's a decent third party software that would enable this with a fairly simple process?

Thanks in advance! I'm hoping you guys can help me but if this is the wrong place please direct me to a better one. Thanks again!

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a triple monitor setup to work in kind of a scuffed manner. Let me explain.

I have a laptop for which I'm trying to get an additional 2 monitor output out. It is a modern laptop with 2 usbc ports and 2 usb a ports. I am using a dock that has an HDMI output along with 3 usb ports.

That HDMI is going to my main monitor. This works completely. In addition, I have a USB type 3 B port to use the additional 2 USB ports on the monitor. The monitor also has HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort, along with the USB 3 type B.

However, this is where I am running into problems. I am trying to use a 3rd monitor with it. I cannot connect this third monitor to my laptop because the dock I am using only has 1 HDMI output and I don't have another USBC to HDMI adapter. This third monitor is a bit older with an HDMI, VGA, and DVI.

Basically, I cannot get this triple monitor setup to work. I have a few HDMI cables, a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, a displayport to displayport cable, a vga to vga cable, and the aforementioned usb 3 type b cable. I was wondering if any of yall knew any method to get this third monitor working.

Again, thanks for reading and trying to understand my problem.

Hi All,
Was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what to do. More a problem-solving thought experiment than an actual request for help. I believe my situation is too niche to be able to get help for.

I'm looking to upgrade from my current 3 identical looking 24" (2x60Hz, 1x144Hz) monitors by adding a new primary 32" monitor. I will move the 144Hz monitor from its current display cable to an HDMI cable as it will no longer be the primary and limiting it to 60Hz will be fine.
Graphics card has 3 Display ports and 1 HDMI, otherwise I would have all 4 monitors on Display Port.

As this would no longer look the same as the others, I would ideally have the 3 smaller monitors above this new larger primary monitor. Ideally, would do it this way to keep the primary monitor at a good viewing angle.
I cannot however find a stand that supports this. All 3+1 stands I have been able to find have the 3 below the +1 rather than above.
I am using a large corner desk at this time, facing the room, not the wall. This makes a stand with 2 bases unusable for me. This has removed some 6 monitor stands from my options list.

Hope this problem tickles someone's fancy, and while I don't think it will help me anytime soon. Perhaps it might help someone else with a similar issue in the future.

Thanks,
smoze

Hi all! So I have a few requirements that I'd like to fill to help build a 6-screen setup.

What the build will include

- 5 monitors, all the same: Link

- 1 Desktop (connected to three monitors via DisplayPort, connected to remaining two monitors via USB-C hub)

- USB-C hub for desktop

- 1 Laptop + VESA mount (connected to two monitors via USB-C hub)

- USB-C hub for laptop

- Whatever KVM switches I need (something from Startech maybe?)

- Electric standing desk

Current Plan

The desktop can stay on the ground or be on the desk, I don't care. The laptop will be connected to a USB-C hub for video output to two additional monitors. The desktop will always be connected directly to the 3 bottom-row monitors, and then to a second USB-C hub. Both of these USB-C hubs will connect to a KVM that allows me to switch the remaining two monitors between the mounted laptop and the desktop.

Misc

For the desktop I plan to have two GPUs, both 3080s or 3090s, if I can't get ahold of a 4000-series when they release. I have a sound bar already that will sit beneath the monitors and be connected to the KVM for audio output. Don't worry about budget.

What I Need Help With

I could use some help finding a sturdy electric desk that could support all of this, a good USB-C hub that I could buy two of, a KVM switch that can swap outputs to two of monitors, and a monitor mounting arm of some sort to mount the 5 monitors + laptop tray. Any and all advice is very welcome and appreciated!

What are your favorite games that support 3 monitor setups? Looking to expand my library and see other peoples suggestions.

So, I see this is a question asked a lot on some subreddits but I would love to read some inputs for my specific case.

2 years ago I used to have just an old single 1080p/60hz monitor for gaming and occasionally working, but then I was moved to home office due to covid (I'm a web full stack developer), and as I was already looking for a gaming monitor, I went for a 1440p 32inch 144hz, and started using the old one as a secondary.

Thing is I hated it because of the difference in colors and image quality (it was an 8 years old monitor, so old panel with washed colors). But I could get the job done and could not justify buying another one just because of that.

Then last week this old secondary monitor died on me, and now I'm only using my main 1440p/144hz, and was looking to buy a another one because once you get used to dual there is no turning back, right? My workflow and general productivity took a hit by using only one so I was looking to buy a second.

Now this is where I can't decide what to do. At first I was looking for a 4k monitor to use as secondary because it would make more sense for my workflow, but I would probably run again the same problem with different colors due to different panels and also would lose the chance of buying a high refresh rate... I'm also a simulator gamer, I play a lot of driving and flight games (have wheels and HOTAS), so I always dreamed having a triple monitor setup for a surround cockpit experience so I thought this would be a good opportunity to buy a second monitor just like mine, and then like 3 months later when I have some spare money again, buy the third one.

Thing is, I was measuring my desk and maybe triple 32 is too big for working but yet it would be awesome for gaming on sim games. I love my 32 inch monitor, I think the resolution is great for me, but now my problem is physical size only and how comfortable it would be.

What would you guys do? Should I buy a 27 inch high refresh, and later on buy 2 more 27 and sell my 32 when I do it, considering I'm gaming on them? Or should I just go for 3x32? Will my neck hurt from so much turning around while working on a daily basis on them?

I saw in another post with a similar question someone saying that he used a triple 32 setup, but two were side by side, and one on top. Unfortunately that would not work for gaming, as I would need the three side by side to be compatible with most games and nvidia surround and not suffer from a bezel on the middle of the "screen".

What should I do? I can't decide what path to take. Would love some inputs.

Ps.: Just to be clear, I know I need a beast of a station to run 3x32 144hz on most new games and it's in my plans already to buy this a powerful pc when as soon as I finish a project I'm working on and get paid. This is not the problem here.

Black monitors and blue arms are the current setup. I am looking to add the burgundy color 24" monitor and am looking for suggestions for what kind of arm to kid. There is no room for another blue style of mount because my desk is not big enough to fit three (speakers would get in the way).

Just like the title, I'm about to purchase a third VG29AQ ASUS 1440p 165hz, and know I'm not going to be able to run the full 3x resolution in any meaningful way with my 3060ti. The plan was to run them in 1080x5760, because that should be fine, but as I'm goofing around with the two monitors I have, I'm having a hard time forcing them into 1080p, in a way that is recognized by NVIDIA Surround. I still only get the option of making a double wide resolution with a height of 1440p. Are the scaled resolutions supported on the application side mainly, or is there a way to force them into a custom resolution on the OS level? Any help is appreciated!

Just curious if anyone can help with this. I use 3 monitors and smart plugs so that my monitors will automatically turn off when I go to sleep because I lazy. Problem is when the plugs turn back on every application I have open defaults on to my primary monitor.

I already have the apps set to launch on the monitors I want them on (as in opening them from closed, they still won't go back when those monitors power on if they were already open) and I've tried having them turn off in different sequences with the same result. Whenever another monitor that isn't my primary turns off all the open windows just go to the primary, even if it's already off.

Wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows a workaround or just knows how to force applications to stay on the monitor they're open on even when it loses power.

I have 2 S2721DGF, one vertical one on the side, the horizontal one is HDMI and the vertical is DP. I also have a main S3222DGM that is in the middle connected with DP.

I have windows set so that it knows my middle monitor is the main, the password screen and logos are all on it. However when I try and get into my BIOS, its on my vertical, and not vertical.
