Should I get two monitors (27") or just one 34" monitor?

Two 27" monitors total width is around 1000-1100mm
One 34" monitor width is around 810-820mm

Purpose: Multi browser (youtube/watch streams/movie)

Get 2, just like handphones.

Never stop at 1.

Easier to refer, work & multi-task.

1x 34" + 1x 27" or
1x 34" + 1x 24" in portrait mode or
1x 42" + 1x 49" - my current setup.

Your budget is probably a bit low for Ultrawide.

Any reason why 28 inch was chosen for movie and why the 27" gaming monitor can't be use for movie?

And mind sharing the models?

4k movies kut.

As for gaming I think because the lower resolution helps with fps.

As I mentioned Acer Predator XB271HU is 165Hz 1440p monitor and the other is Acer Predator XB281HU 60Hz 4K monitor. So i chose to use the 4K monitor as movie monitor as my GPU might not be up to the task. ahha. Using GTX 1080 Ti Mini. And i dont mind gaming in 1440p instead of 4K xD rather watch movie in 4K than game in 4K. haha.. My thoughts la.. xD sweat.gif

you can play at 4k full screen but game internally still can run 1080/1440
then you can enable image sharpening in your LCD or via GPU driver.

i never play games at exclusive fullscreen mode due to slow alt-tab switching.
