This hits home as an topic of interest. Last week, I build a new workstation. Now I am confronted with the monitor decision.
My current workstation has side by side 24" 1920x1200
Things I'm considering:
Stick with side by side 24" 1920x1200 - Asus PA248QV
~$400 total
Two LG DualUp
~$1000 total
One 5k2k such as Dell U4021QW or LG 40WP95C-W
~$1800 total
One UHD 4K like LG OLED 48GQ90B-B
~$900
While I'm accustomed to the gap between my two monitors, I've never much liked it. The Asus gap will be smaller than with my current Dell.
But I do like having each computer "full screen". With one big monitor I loose the gap but I also end up with computers that float in the space of that large monitor. Not sure if that'll bug me.
While 1200px height is enough most of the time, I do want more - like 50% more would be great.
Much of my work is RDP based. I just Googled to find that the maximum vertical resolution is 2048, which is less than the DualUp vertical resolution. Is Google correct?
Curious how others resolved these competing visions (pun intended).
For whatever it's worth, I often use my work PC via the default Windows 10 Remote Desktop client on my laptop (old 15" Macbook Pro, running Windows via Boot Camp): 1 x 2880x1800 hi-DPI display, 2 x normal-DPI 1440x2560 portrait displays. Remote Desktop seems to have no problem using every pixel.
A lot of stuff does get confused by the mixed-DPI setup, but it's not obviously different from running the same programs locally.
