About monitors
OK, so the discussion over in the main Witcher forum got me thinking about this. I think I need new monitors, but I have absolutely NO idea about all of the current technology stuf, except that a lot seems to have happened in the last few years. So I need some advice.
What I have: Two 20" 16x10 Dells, about seven years old.
How I use them: I tend to play games on a single monitor, often windowed, with the second monitor being used for other things, like watching the forums. I drag windows between monitors a lot.
I don't use 3D, nor am I likely to.
I don't use my computer as a primary method of viewing movies or TV, nor am I likely to.
I have a single GTX670 and don't want to upgrade in the next year, but will when I have to. I don't want to go with SLI or Crossfire in the foreseeable future.
I have enough desk space to handle two x 24", or a single 48".
Questions: Can someone explain in simple language all of the new features that monitors seem to have got over the last few years? And how important they are?
Does anyone have a 21x9 aspect ratio monitor. If so, can you tell me if it can be configured so that I can move stuff around as easily as with the dual-monitor setup?
