Hello!

During the lesson and not only, many ask: “ How to connect two monitors to one computer?" or " How to connect multiple monitors?»

I decided to write an article answering this question. The purpose of the article is not to describe everything in detail, but to show possible options for connecting multiple monitors. I hope everyone understands that the inscription on the picture "Hackerman" is just a joke, and the information here is not the ultimate truth.

Multiple monitors for one video card

As a rule, two monitors can be connected to one video card, but there are video cards that pull more than two. The maximum number of connected monitors is indicated in the description of the video card - on the manufacturer's website or on third-party sites.

Perhaps this is the most "elegant solution". There is no need to invent something here, plus a small power consumption compared to. Minus - less fault tolerance and a large consumption of the video card resource.

Multiple video cards

On the motherboard are PCI Express (PCI-E) slots, you can connect a video card to each slot. Slots are of two types: PCI-E x16(long) and to PCI-E x1(short), but their functionality is similar. There may be other types of slots on the board, but most GPUs are connected via PCI-E.

PCI-E 16x slot

Most video cards standard computers connected through this slot. In case the motherboard has two slots PCI-E 16x, you can connect two video cards. If each video card supports two monitors, then four monitors can be connected.

PCI-E x1 slot

Video card with PCI-E x1

Video cards that can be connected to the slot PCI-Ex1 very little. One of them - HIS Radeon HD 4350.

Riser (riser)

To PCI-E x1 you can connect standard video cards. To do this, you need to install a special adapter - riser . The risers differ in versions, the main difference is the power connectors. Pick the ones that are free on your block.

Connecting multiple graphics cards to the same motherboard is the preferred way in my opinion.

• So we get a more stable and fault-tolerant system. If one of the video cards fails, then one or two more remain.
• The load will be distributed between the video cards. This will reduce the resource consumption of video cards and, in some cases, reduce noise. It is not necessary to install powerful video cards and overclock them, so cards with a passive cooling system (radiator) will do - without a cooler (fan).
• Most likely, this method will be cheaper, than connecting all monitors to one video card, but you need to compare options.

Do you need system support? SLI and CrossFireX on the motherboard? Not! Possibility to combine video cards into a mode SLI and CrossFireX for our task is not needed, but it will not interfere.

Video card and integrated video card

There are motherboards with an integrated video card (integrated video card) to which you can connect one or two monitors, rarely more. Also, most of them have connectors. PCI-E, therefore, you can install a discrete (ordinary) video card.

External video card

Conclusion

Of all the above, I would recommend . Ideally, use the same, preferably digital ( Display port, HDMI and DVI) ports for connecting a monitor. You can also use , but it's harder to pick up, especially if you want to connect six monitors.

If you already have a computer and don't want to change it, I would suggest connecting a cheap video card via . If there is no free slot, connect an additional card using . As a last resort, you can use .

If you have any questions about this topic or any other, be sure to ask them in the comments. I will try to answer in the comments, and in some cases write an article or video.

Thank you all for your attention and good luck!

The multi-monitor configuration of a PC today will not surprise anyone. And soon, we must expect, the presence of a single display on the table will become the exception, not the rule. So say people who have had the opportunity to compare the convenience of working at a computer with one and several monitors. And the second option, according to their words, is much more convenient than the first.

Statisticians are of the same opinion. According to their research, if you connect 2 monitors instead of one, the productivity of personnel involved in processing a large amount of information increases by 15-60%. What can we say about gamers for whom multi-monitor systems are the only way to go headlong into the virtual world?

How many monitors can be connected to one computer. Connection conditions

It is unlikely that anyone is able to name the exact number of possible monitor connections to one PC, but 50 or more can definitely be. It all depends on the budget that you are willing to allocate for it. To create video walls from dozens of modules, as, for example, in the photo below, special controllers are used. Their task is not just to display the image on many screens, but also to provide a decent quality for each picture.

However, video wall controllers are an extremely expensive solution that not every enterprise can afford. A more affordable option is a video server with several multi-channel video cards. But even it can cost the owner several hundred thousand rubles.

The average user, like most of us, does not need such excesses. Home gaming systems usually consist of no more than six monitors, and they can be connected not just to one computer, but to one video card. But in order to achieve the highest possible image quality, it is better to distribute monitors so that there are no more than two or three monitors per video camera.

Connecting two monitors is supported by almost any modern video card, even built into the processor (chipset). Three or more - All AMD models from Series 5 and NVIDIA GTX 600 and up.

In addition to multi-channel support, the following is important for creating multi-monitor configurations:

• The presence on video cards of outputs that match the inputs of monitors (the use of adapters is allowed in extreme cases when there is no other way to connect). Moreover, AMD requires a mandatory DisplayPort interface on at least one of the displays (with the exception of individual branded video cards with a built-in DisplayPort-DVI adapter). NVIDIA does not set such conditions.
• Support by video drivers for resolutions of all monitors.
• Sufficient amount of video memory. 2048 Mb is a conditional minimum for a two- or three-monitor configuration in a non-gaming system. For four or more monitors, especially if you plan to use the computer for games, the memory should be at least 2 times more.
• High data bus bandwidth (from 128 bits) and good memory speed (the more, the better). The narrower the tire, the higher the speed should be.

To connect monitors to different video cards, the latter do not have to be combined into SLI or Crossfire. In some cases, in addition to a discrete card (inserted into the slot), you can use the integrated video if the BIOS supports it. motherboard(there is an option "Always Enable" for the output of the built-in video card). But in such configurations, each pair of displays served by one video chip operates independently of the other. This means that creating a common visual space on all screens will not work.

If your computer is equipped with a single video card, you can connect monitors to several of its ports, or to one. To connect 2 or more screens to one video card with 1 input, you will need a signal divider - a splitter. For example, as in the photo below. This modification can distribute a signal to 4 monitors, but the picture quality, as a rule, decreases (it depends not so much on the splitter as on the video capabilities). If the stream is barely enough for a single screen, dividing it into “streams” will reduce both resolution and clarity and refresh rate. And the more connections, the lower the quality.

When connecting a splitter to displays with different resolutions, the picture quality on them will be different: on some it is better, on others it is worse. And you won’t be able to correct it individually, except perhaps through the settings of the monitors themselves.

AMD cards with Eyefinity technology (powered by ATI's Radeon R800 series GPUs) allow you to attach up to 6 displays to them and combine them into a single visual space. But here everything is tied to DisplayPort interface which, unfortunately, not all devices are equipped with.

The following are valid combinations of connection interfaces when building multi-monitor systems using AMD Eyefinity technology:

• To combine 3 monitors into one system, one of them must be connected via DisplayPort or miniDisplayPort (miniDP), the second via DVI, and the third via VGA, HDMI or the same DVI.
• If there are 4 monitors, two devices must be connected to DisplayPort, the third to DVI, and the fourth to VGA or HDMI.
• In a five-monitor system, all 5 or 3 monitors are connected to DisplayPort (miniDisplayPort), one or two to DVI and one, if left, to HDMI.
• A six-monitor configuration provides a connection through miniDisplayPort only.

NVIDIA Surround/3D Vision multi-monitor technology allows you to create a shared gaming space from up to three monitors. However, this requires either a dual-processor video card, or a combination of two or three cards in SLI. You can connect several more displays to the remaining video outputs, they will work independently of the others.

If you do not have the task of building a video wall to display one image on several screens, it is not necessary to adhere to the above rules. Monitors can be connected in any configuration through any interfaces, counting 2 devices per 1 video processor. In this case, each of them will display its own desktop, and you can switch between them, drag windows from one table to another, etc.

How to connect and configure additional monitors in Windows

Physical connection of devices

The process of physically connecting a second, third, etc. monitor to the ports of the video card is not difficult. Just plug the connectors of the connecting cables into the jacks of both devices, remembering to unplug them first.

When creating a dual-monitor configuration, use the same interfaces whenever possible, such as DisplayPort only or HDMI only, so that the image quality on the two screens does not differ much. If there are no identical ports on your video card, connect through different ones, for example, DVI and HDMI or HDMI and VGA. Using adapters from one interface to another is permissible only in extreme cases, since signal conversion is always accompanied by its losses, sometimes significant. The same goes for splitters. If it is possible to do without them, try to do without.

After connecting, turn on the power system block and monitors. Recognition of the latter, as a rule, occurs automatically. You just have to customize them to suit your needs.

Connecting a second monitor to laptops is done in the same way as to a desktop PC. The only difference is that the video card that will serve the additional screen is determined by the system, not the user.

Multi display adapters

If the picture quality on the main and additional displays varies greatly, and also if you need to connect not one, but 2 additional monitors to your laptop, a specialized device will help out - a multi-display adapter. This is a small box with a processor inside, resembling a multiport splitter, and a few cables included. With one cable, the box is connected to the output of the video card, the rest are connected to the monitor inputs. It receives power from a USB port or an external adapter.

An example of such a device is Matrox DualHead2Go Digital SE.

Setting up additional screens in Windows 10 and 8.1 and 7

After the first turn on, the image on the additional monitor, as a rule, duplicates the main one. Sometimes the desktop is stretched to 2 screens at once. To select the desired mode, press the key combination Windows + P (Latin) - this will open the projection panel.

On Windows 10 and 8.1, it looks like this:

In Windows 7, like this:

The option "Duplicate" (Repeated) reproduces the same picture on all displays. "Expand" - makes the second screen a continuation of the first.

If the system could not automatically recognize the second display, open via context menu desktop "Display Settings".

Click the Detect button (In Windows 7, Find).

If the device is physically intact and properly connected, the system will most likely recognize it immediately. If not, open the "Multiple Displays" list and select "Try to connect anyway..." to a monitor that is not detected.

If this does not help, you should check the contacts and, if possible, connect the device with another known-good cable to another video output or another video card.

The "Define" button in the same section allows you to choose which of the two displays will be the main (first), and which - additional (second, third, etc.).

To change the settings of one of the displays of a multi-monitor system - the size of the displayed elements, brightness level, orientation, resolution, color reproduction, etc., click on the rectangle with its serial number in the gray field under the heading "Customize your screen".

Changes will take effect after saving. You don't need to restart your computer for this.

Additional configuration settings for multiple displays are found in the NVIDIA and AMD Catalyst Control Panel menus.

Setting Up Additional Screens in Windows XP

To access display settings in Windows XP, also open the desktop context menu and click Properties. Next, go to the "Settings" tab.

If the second monitor is correctly recognized, 2 display icons with sequential numbers will appear in the gray box. "Find" options, as in modern Windows versions, there is no.

By default, the same desktop image is displayed on both screens. If you want to stretch it, click on the second display icon and check the "Extend desktop to this monitor" box.

Setting up each screen individually is done in the same way as in Windows 10: click on the monitor icon in the gray field and set the desired parameters. The "Screen Resolution" and "Color Quality" options are there, while the rest - scale, adapter properties, etc. - is hidden behind the "Advanced" button.

Most of the settings take effect immediately, but some - only after restarting the computer.

Not every video card can withstand the connection of three monitors and make them single system. This is what cards are for. AMD from series no. 5 and above and NVIDIA from 600 series (it's easier with them). Show how to connect 3 monitors to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.

At PokerStars, all players are given gifts!

So you can connect as many monitors as the video card is designed for. At the same time, monitors can be positioned vertically in the “portrait” version or horizontally - “landscape”.

Monitor Requirements

You can make a system from monitors of different brands and with different diagonal sizes, but their resolution must be the same - do this in advance in the screen properties settings.

When you connect a system of 3 monitors, #1 will be the master. And the system determines the sequence of monitors by the order of their connection to the map. Therefore, if you want to make the main central big monitor, connect it first and so on with the remaining two.

When you have set all the necessary settings, click on "OK". After that, the monitors will go out, and then light up again. Your desktop is now spread across all 3 monitors. This whole system has a resolution of 5760x1080 with a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

How to connect 3 monitors to AMD card:

I am constantly striving to optimize and improve my workflow and space, and have come to the conclusion that in my work, in order to perform as many tasks as possible at a time, there are not enough monitors on which to display and receive information at the same time. because I have a laptop, then the thought crept into my head - how to connect more than possible, and perhaps only 2 screens - one external and standard laptop screen.

The only sound idea was to buy an external USB video adapter. This is what I'm going to talk about my experience.

And I bought a USB video adapter from the manufacturer STLab. I chose a manufacturer for a long time, there are quite a few of them now, and I chose this particular manufacturer, because I had previously worked with several devices from this vendor.

Here's what it looks like out of the box.

STlab VGA Adapter

Why exactly DVI, and not VGA and not HDMI, for example, a VGA bay right away, since VGA technology, although time-tested, unfortunately allows you to transfer only analog signal, but I wanted to get a more or less high-quality picture. Not HDMI - since not all even modern monitors have this connector, but I wanted to get an easily replaceable system. DVI has become like the golden mean, it already transmits a digital signal and is present on every more or less modern monitor.

STlab DVI Adapter

And in the box there is nothing more than natural - the video card itself, a disk with a driver (non-final version) and a small instruction manual. Everything worked the first time, but not quite as we would like - which was expected :). I tested this video card on 2 computers and on 2 different operating systems Windows 7 and Windows 8. Looking ahead, I will say that there were no problems at all on Windows 8, which was a pleasant surprise.

I had to play around with Windows 7 a little, because if you send the computer to sleep while the video card is connected, then in 80% of cases when you resume work, you will need to restart the device, as the system fell into a BSOD. The problem was solved quite easily, I had to go to the official website of the manufacturer and download latest version software, after which the system stopped falling out into the BSOD.

Summing up my impressions, I’ll say that I thought it would be worse, but this video card is not suitable for games, but it’s 100% enough for work. I use a monitor that is connected to this card, a screen with an almost static picture, but also for other needs system administrator or an office worker is enough.

I will give below specifications to make it even clearer what I'm talking about:

Inexpensive multi-monitor system | Maximum screen space at minimum cost

If you're not familiar with multi-monitor gaming, here's a quick comment: three displays connected to the same graphics subsystem are installed side by side and used as one big screen, providing a wider view of the environment and a deeper immersion in the game process.

Let's list the benefits of three 1080p monitors versus a single 4K panel. First, the installation of three screens greatly improves the visibility of the periphery, which is combined with the process of processing visual information by people. Secondly, three 1920x1080 monitors combined have a quarter fewer pixels than Ultra HD panels with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, as a result, the load on the graphics subsystem is lower, and the frame rate is higher. In addition, the triple configuration is cheaper. You can buy three LCD monitors with a diagonal of 20-23 inches for less than $400. Meanwhile, the price tag for a 4K display starts at $500. And it will be a screen with a refresh rate of 30Hz. Panels at 60 Hz are noticeably more expensive. In addition, multiple monitors are much more convenient to use for work.

But there are also disadvantages. The most obvious is the use of more components. Three panels take up more space and are harder to organize on a table or wall than a single monitor. Not all games are multi-monitor compatible. There are also opponents of such configurations, in particular, some gamers believe that such configurations are more distracting, which negatively affects efficiency. But we do not agree with this and believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The more screens, the more fun!

Considering that three 1080p displays are typically less expensive than one 4K monitor, we decided to build an inexpensive system for gaming on three monitors. We'll be testing two low-cost graphics cards (under $150) to see if they can deliver the level of performance required to comfortably run three monitors.

Inexpensive video cards for a triple bunch of monitors

For this article, Gigabyte offered two budget cards: Radeon R7 260X and GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Outwardly, they are very similar. However, the Radeon has a CrossFire connector on the top of the card, while the GeForce SLI bridge does not. They are approximately the same size, assembled on a blue printed circuit board and are equipped with coolers of the appropriate class. The I / O panels are slightly different: the Radeon card has one HDMI and DisplayPort output instead of two HDMIs.

GeForce GTX 750 Ti has 640 CUDA cores and 2 GB of GDDR5 video memory on a 128-bit bus. Prices for various models GeForce GTX 750 Ti settled in the $150 range, although you can find cheaper ones with discounts. Perhaps the most important benefit of the 750-series GPU is its power-efficient architecture. In particular, the reference video card from Nvidia does not even require additional connector nutrition. The Gigabyte version is still equipped with an additional six-pin connector, which increases the headroom for overclocking.

In the opposite corner is Radeon R7 260X with 896 stream processors and 2 GB of GDDR5 video memory also on a 128-bit bus. It can be found for around $130, and that's not counting the New Year's discounts offered by some retailers. Nvidia calls the multi-monitor technology Surround, while AMD calls it Eyefinity. Both methods have been constantly improved over the years and now work almost perfectly, although Eyefinity is arguably a bit more complex to set up, while still offering more flexibility when configuring monitors with different resolutions.

Inexpensive multi-monitor system | Triple monitor setup

Nvidia Surround

Setting up Nvidia Surround is quite simple: open the Nvidia Control Panel and select "Setup Surround", then check the box next to "Extend displays using Surround".

Then click "Settings" and select the position of each display, indicating the number of the corresponding monitor. If desired, you can perform bezel correction to compensate for the physical space between the edges of the monitor. To do this, click "Frame Correction" and highlight the number. A small window will appear in which you can define the required area. After, click "Enable Surround". Ready.

AMD Eyefinity

Activating Eyefinity isn't much more difficult, although we had to repeat the process twice because there was a mistake in the first place. First, select "Create a display group in Eyefinity." Then select your monitor configuration (in our case, 3x1, that is, three screens wide and one high-rise) and click "Next".

Set the position of each display by selecting the corresponding blue square to link to that position the monitor that will be displayed in blue. After selecting two monitors, positioning will be completed. This is where we made a mistake, because the setup process was not entirely intuitive.

AMD allows you to use displays of various sizes and resolutions, which is a nice addition. You can also compensate for the bezel area of ​​the monitors. Just press up or down on each screen to align it with the grid pattern.

Inexpensive multi-monitor system | Test stand and benchmarks

As already mentioned, not all games support multi-monitor sets equally well. First-person shooter (FPS) games and simulation games have the best compatibility. In this regard, to test the capabilities of our inexpensive system, we chose four "shooters" and two racing simulators. We took the most popular modern games like Battlefield 4, Titanfall and Grid 2, as well as a few older games like Call Of Duty: Black Ops II and Dirt Showdown. We used Fraps to record the frame rate in the tests. GPU-Z will show characteristics and data from sensors. MSI Afterburner will help with GeForce overclocking, and the Overdrive utility in the Catalyst Control Center package will allow you to squeeze more performance out of the AMD Radeon graphics card. To fix issues in games not working with multiple monitors by default, we used free utility called Widescreen Fixer. This program has saved the situation many times.

It's hard to get consistent performance in multiplayer, so we've tested a number of levels multiple times to get a bigger picture of performance in each game. Both graphics cards used the same graphics settings to ensure a fair comparison.

As a test system, we used a PC with the following configuration: Intel processor Core i5-3570K overclocked to 4.2 GHz, and RAM Corsair LP Vengeance DDR3-1866 in DDR3-2133 mode on an ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M motherboard. this system too powerful for testing inexpensive GPUs, but we need to unleash the full potential of video cards, eliminating platform bottlenecks.

Inexpensive multi-monitor system | Test results

Battlefield 4

We often use Battlefield 4 for testing and have a good idea of ​​how the game performs on various settings. It uses a powerful engine that adapts well to hardware of various performance levels, so we are very interested to see how the game behaves on inexpensive video cards.

In the diagrams below, you will see that our configuration allows us to comfortably play at low detail without vsync. With these settings, the graphics quality is much less impressive, in addition, there are undulating frames due to poor synchronization. That's a trade-off you'll have to make if you want to take advantage of full peripheral vision on the battlefield.

We experimented with overclocking, changed the resolution to 4800x900 pixels and increased the level of detail to medium. The game began to look better, and without loss of FPS. With the help of the MSI Afterburner utility, we set GPU Boost at 1213 MHz and memory at 1470 MHz, resulting in a noticeable increase in frame rate.

Eyefinity on Radeon R7 260X

We started testing Eyefinity on the medium preset graphics settings at 4800x900 pixels as they provided more high score with an Nvidia card (we also included AMD's Mantle API). As it turned out, both cards provided a similar level of performance. Mantle seems to give a few extra frames per second on average, but it does not affect the minimum FPS.

Overclocking with MSI Afterburner causes the system to freeze. Fortunately, it was easily replaced by the Overdrive utility in the Catalyst Control Center. Map saved stable work at 1244 MHz for the GPU and 1650 MHz for the memory. Higher values ​​resulted in a freeze. However, the results in Battlefield 4 rose to 57 FPS. Not so bad!

Titanfall and Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Titanfall

Titanfall has a lot of customization. To get a comfortable level of frame rate, we used a mixture of medium and low detail settings.

Surround on GeForce GTX 750 Ti

We tried to run the game at native resolution with minimal graphics settings, but we were not happy with the result. Although the average frame rate hovered around 30 FPS, we wanted to see a richer picture. To do this, we set the resolution to 4800x900 pixels, overclocked GPU and increased some detail settings to medium, and left some on low. As a result, we got a better image with a decent level of performance.

Eyefinity on Radeon R7 260X

We again tried running the game at 5760x1080 with low detail settings. Although the image quality was still not very good, we wanted to compare with GeForce GTX 750 Ti. After that, we again duplicated our own settings at 4800x900, improving appearance games.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops II

The Call of Duty series is made up of action-packed first-person shooter games, and Black Ops II is no exception. The game is relatively old and has a large community of fans. The game engine is not particularly demanding on hardware, so we expect to see high performance when using three displays. Since CoD is not optimized for multiple monitors, we used the Widescreen Fixer application, which makes up for what the developers missed.

Surround on GeForce GTX 750 Ti

We started testing with a resolution of 5760x1080 pixels at medium graphics quality settings with AA and FXAA disabled and with the view range limitation enabled. With v-sync disabled, you'll see frame drops, so we set the resolution to 4800x900 and overclocked the GPU. As a result, we got an average value of 95 FPS, and a minimum of 58 FPS. When V-Sync was enabled, the frame rate dropped to 30fps too often, which was not very pleasant for the gameplay.

Eyefinity on Radeon R7 260X

By analogy with GeForce GTX 750 Ti, the game runs great on an AMD card, albeit with the same stutters and stutters. Having lowered the resolution to 4800x900 pixels, the influx is gone, and CoD has become much more pleasant to play.

Grid 2 and Dirt Showdown

The triple monitor configuration greatly enhances the Grid 2 experience. We used the built-in benchmark during testing and also ran a few runs to check the results.

Surround on GeForce GTX 750 Ti

At 5760x1080 at custom settings without v-sync the game ran pretty smoothly. After overclocking, we ran the tests again and saw a performance increase of a couple of frames per second. We would not say that this case overclocking is needed.

Custom settings include Medium Graphics Preset, Enhanced Fog Disabled, Long Render Distance with Distant Background Blur Disabled, High Quality Ground Coverage, High Quality Brake Trails, No Enhanced Illumination and Global Illumination.

Eyefinity on Radeon R7 260X

This game is part of the AMD Evolved program, so we expected equal or greater high level performance compared to GeForce GTX 750 Ti. And so it happened. But overclocking did not give a significant result.

Dirt showdown

This is a relatively old game and we expected it to work well on our system. We used custom settings: disabled MSAA, fullscreen, 60Hz, and high detail. Enhanced Illumination and Global Illumination have been disabled.

Surround on GeForce GTX 750 Ti

GeForce GTX 750 Ti easily copes with the game on our settings.

Eyefinity on Radeon R7 260X

As with Grid 2, AMD's card performed well, as Dirt Showdown also applies to Gaming Evolved. The game looks great and the frame rate is second to none GeForce GTX 750 Ti .

Inexpensive multi-monitor system | It's not expensive, it works, it's fun

Hardcore PC gamers may assume that inexpensive graphics cards are not capable of providing acceptable performance for three screens at once. However, after extensive testing, we can safely say that this assumption is not true.

The purpose of this article is not to compare GeForce and Radeon, but to prove that both cards are worthy of managing multiple monitors in a bundle. Both AMD and Nvidia are selling sub-$150 cards that can handle games on three displays. Not so long ago, just one 19-inch LCD monitor cost more than three cheap 1080p monitors today. This is a good example of how technology gets better and cheaper over time. As a result, a configuration that once belonged to the ultra high-end segment is now available to gamers on a budget.

Three displays not only improve the quality of the gaming experience, but allow you to perform daily tasks more efficiently. For example, while working on an article, the author opens the web browser on the left screen, text editor in the center, and music / photos / notes on the right screen. Windows do not need to be scaled, minimized or maximized, they are always open. Photo editing is also greatly simplified.

We can definitely call this experiment a success. Of course, budget graphics cards will not be able to provide maximum detail or resolution in modern, hardware-demanding games, but you can certainly immerse yourself in computer games on a whole new level.

Of course, we know that 4K displays are already out there, and we're thrilled that Ultra HD is gradually becoming more accessible. But we believe that the extra pixels don't compare to the surround effect. In addition, many games (especially older ones) do not have a scalable user interface(UI), and playing in 4K becomes essentially impossible, because important information for the player is displayed at a very small scale. On the other hand, widescreen system at 5760x1080 supports UI standard size, and video cards have to work with fewer pixels, which has a positive effect on performance.

Having tried three monitors in action, it will be difficult for you to refuse them. We can confidently recommend such configurations and hope that we have dispelled at least some of the speculation and misunderstanding surrounding them.
