What monitor

[chml]

Hi all, I’m looking at picking up two monitors - probably from Currys just because I need them sooner rather than later and it’ll be easier.
Use Excel for work (not heavily) and then mainly just Salesforce and other web based systems so nothing too taxing. Would like 30” or as close to as possible and HDMI input into them in case I want to plug a Sky mini box in occasionally. What would people recommend out of the below please?

Thanks,
Mike

Can your PC drive two 4K displays?

I dunno, didn’t know that could be an issue It’s just a work Dell Latitude lappy so probably not if it needs a high spec

Shamelessly bumping this

Has anybody experience of two curved monitors, would the ‘middle’ curve be annoying?

In my experience (running 2 27" 4K displays) unless you need two separate displays you may be better off with a single ultrawide (34" and 49" seem common). The break in the centre can be irritating. I need accurate, high quality screens for photo editing, so a dual set up made more sense. Dual displays are also helpful when running multiple machines, which I routinely do whilst working from home. Again, if you want the width but are only going to be using one machine, consider an ultrawide.

Thanks Julian, would prefer two monitors as I can then use my personal laptop on there as and when I need to rather than faffing around. Not sure I’ll need 4K but just trying to make sure it will work with my laptop and be easy for a technophobe like me!

I keep getting tempted by a new ultrawide monitor - some of them let you attach two sources and view them side by side.
