Photos of our PCs

I already saw that you were taking them all,…you didn't give time to think,…Great job!,...when you have any left, let me know,..

by the way,...a luxury for the senses,...and for the others, the reviews from your place

Jajaaaaa, .

I had been thinking about this idea for a while, and by a while I mean almost 1 year. I already made an attempt a couple of weeks ago, where you already know. :), to get one, but the other day I saw two for sale and I didn't think twice, I went for the 2. The third one came almost by itself.

The truth is that we can have very good PCs, but what really gives you the perception of what we try to "live", through games, are our peripherals. Good sound, and of course a good image, see for example virtual simulators, or futuristic movies in the style of "Gamer".
What we always look for is to immerse ourselves as much as possible, in that battle, race or fantasy world…. I think that surround sound offers that, as well as 3D. And of course seeing yourself surrounded by these 3 beauties in all aspects, both in specifications, and in size, helps a lot.. ;).

This week I will probably try a 3D Surround with the Asus of 27", My first idea was to make a 3D surround with those, but as these Dell, you can't get them easily, I saw the opportunity and I took them. If when I try the 3D, I like it, like to change these, you will be the first to know............. ;).

Don't worry, I will create the corresponding thread to share my tests.

You watch too many movies, remember kids the most expensive toy is not always the most fun

Honestly I don't understand, where it comes out, that the most expensive toys are the most fun. Because we learned that a few years ago.

However I can assure you that I have more fun playing with 3 monitors than with one. Whether they are 100 or 1000 €.

[Bm4n]

As you are doing such good advertising, I wanted to add a pinch of realism, better without a doubt, unnecessary to have fun as well. Although perhaps it is from the point of view of someone who wants to have fun to someone who wants to live it (complicated for now).

peace brothers.
i think that if i could afford it i would do it too ( well i think i and everyone;D )

Since the prototype of the Nec ultra panoramic monitor came out a year ago, the idea of 3 monitors has been on my mind, and even so, I think it's great, I just don't share the opinion that you're going to experience anything new through them. You'll enjoy a normal monitor as much as a 21:9 and as much as 3 16:9 monitors. Personally, if I won the lottery, I would buy a 21:9 because I think it's ideal, but everyone has their own tastes.

To experience a game more, like a simulator, a good chair that transmits the movement of a car game, that does add something new or better. Whether you put 3 monitors or just a good TV (as many do) won't make much of a difference, a more panoramic format than that of a cinema is difficult to take advantage of visually.

And I repeat that I think 3 monitors are great, I've always thought so, although now I have another idea, but I wouldn't sell it as if you're going to experience something else by having it. I also don't sell the idea of controllers like the wiimote or move as such, although I do think they're pretty cool, but I know that with a mouse or a champiñón you enjoy just the same.

[deeiivid]

I have also been attracted to 21:9 monitors, to be honest, I think they are wonderful.
Until I can afford one, I use two 20 monitors and I am quite happy. At the time it was like buying two 27s now xD

Having two monitors also has its advantages, such as being able to run something in full screen and still have another monitor, for example, to browse the internet.

Right now, if it weren't for the multiple desktops of Linux or the full screen apps of OSX on the macbook...

[Sylver]

I think more or less like Bm4n, the use of three expensive monitors together is not really an "out of this world" experience, so to speak exaggerating the terms, but rather a way to deploy visual field with independent definition in three sectors, and in my opinion it is not the best, given the need to live with those two black stripes on both sides. That is why 21:9 monitors have become a much better option when it comes to obtaining that result without so much inconvenience. Given the choice of spending a good amount on three high-quality monitors, I see a better option to invest that money (and a little more) in one of 21:9 since the result will always be better in every way.
Of course there will be those who can afford it and those who have no choice but to approach it with 3 monitors of 16:9, but today, life is like this, one thing is optimism or what one would have and another is reality or what one can have.

@deeiivid in the end I'm using the extended desktop ipad and it doesn't work badly hehe, now even though I have a big desk I can't fit everything, between the PC, the MacBook, the iPad and the papers... In the end I'll have to hang the monitors on the wall jajaja.

Which by the way, let's see if I put a couple of photos that last time I put I really had a reduced space... :ffu:

[Bm4n]

From left to right the LianLi with the i5, the 22" PB with the PS3 camera that acts as a webcam and microphone, the iPad showing the nvidia inspector, the Macbook for browsing-email-notifications and my new jewel the LaserJet MFP 175nw. On the other side the plasma that I use for the PS3 with a "pair" of games and the amp with the speakers.

[deeiivid]

Reduced..?
If you saw what I have now in the student apartment… xD

At no point do I think I'm selling the idea of experiencing something new, what I mean is that the experience is much more immersive with 3 monitors than with one and therefore more fun and that's not just me saying it, it's just like that. Even if it doesn't seem like it to you.

You may or may not like Surround, that's already subjective for each individual, but the experience is what it is, like 3D, you may or may not like it...

Moreover, you're criticizing them for being expensive, and you put the NEC CRV43 as an example, a monitor of about $8,000, with a resolution of 2880 x 900p, which doesn't even reach Full HD, and whose aspect ratio, if you allow me the correction, is 32:10, not 21:9. With a dot size of 0.53 I think, which seems more like a crater than a dot size.
Well, the experience is more fun, the more you see, and in a surround of 7680 x 1440p or 5760 x 1080p you see much more than in 2880 x 900p.

But what I liked is this: "_Of course there will be those who can afford it and those who have no choice but to approach it with 3 monitors of 16:9, but today, life is like this, one thing is optimism or what one would like to have and another is reality or what one can have.

What a lovely living room, sir, I've always wanted to get one of those discreet rugs for the floor, they give the room character and make it cozy in winter :ugly:
The set is nice, the desk is well distributed, the games station with the play 3 and the music system… of course many of us would like to have everything as tidy as this xD

Jotole, I personally have not talked about the NEC, but about monitors with a 21:9 ratio in general, like the LGs, to give an example, which are far from those exorbitant $8000, but not even close…
It's what you're saying, a fun experience in which you see more than in a normal monitor, but without bars in the middle as in a 3 monitor setup. That for that it's better to have a monitor that gives a resolution of 7680 x 1440p or 5760 x 1080p alone? Sure, the thing is that I'm not aware of any, and if I'm bothered by the bars on the sides then I'll buy a 21:9 or even the NEC that Bm4n proposed (pending to try it and check those drawbacks you attributed to it) and enjoy a greater field of vision and a great experience, with all the resolution values, color, etc, unified.

Once again it's a matter of taste and possibilities, I'm not saying I wouldn't set up three monitors if they were given to me or if I won the lottery, but if I had the necessary capital I would look for every means to find a monitor large enough to achieve the same effect without having bars in the middle and without having to use three power outlets and image sources.

If you're not selling it to us, perfect :ugly:, of course it's more immersive and I don't dislike it. I prefer ultra-wide, for now 21:9 2560 x 1080, in a few years the market will be better prepared.

What you quote refers to the fact that now you can't have a cinema screen for gaming unless you use a good projector, and setting up 3 monitors has drawbacks (borders, resolution, space, etc.) but it's the closest thing.

When playing an FPS you have your view fixed on the center 90% of the time, and when aiming you don't turn your head physically but with the mouse, so the sides only give you a blurry image 90% of the time, which does give greater immersion and is great. Is that the whole story???, let's not get too carried away... And I haven't talked at all about the economic aspect, putting up 3 monitors isn't expensive, for €900 you can have IPS monitors and graphics to move it, of all if I were to spend that money I would probably consider a 1080p projector.

@Sylver:

Well it's organized from time to time jajaja and the rug needs vacuuming often ¬¬ What I'm very happy about is the table, a cheap IKEA one!

[Jotole]

We agree on that, the ideal would be a monitor like the NEC we mentioned, but with a minimum resolution of 2560 x 1080 like the one you mentioned, which the LGs have, or the new DELL Panoramas, but I know people who have had that Dell for example and it lasted them hours… I'm used to a 27.

The image is much more "narrow", in a 21:9 than in a 16:9. And consequently it seems like you're missing a monitor.

I've played on many monitors from the first 15" CRTs, to 50" TVs, and I still prefer surround, until I try something like the 43" Nec. But at those prices…..........Uf!!

You've already mentioned the disadvantages of surround, 3 power outlets, 3 connections and graphics to move that. The thing about the edges of the monitors I was reluctant to it at first, but once you try them, when you play, you don't even realize they're there.

When you play you always look forward, yes, but the side monitors are for peripheral vision. It's like when you're walking, you don't have to turn your head to know what's happening on your sides. With surround it's the same. As long as you put them at a certain degree with respect to the other, if you turn them too much, you lose that view, and totally flat, it doesn't give you as much immersion. I have mine at about 25,30º, and they help a lot in having more field of vision to detect an enemy earlier, see more of the map, etc...

Anyway, everyone has their preferences...

Of course these 21:9 are like a 27" flattened, perhaps changing from one to another doesn't appeal to you, but to me changing from a 22" in the future does seem interesting especially because it's a resolution that isn't hard to move and it's a good size. Although the NEC's aspect ratio was better, it was like two screens joined which is something you can't do today because you're left with the border in the middle.

Now that the games look great...

@Bm4n:

Of course these 21:9 are like a 27" squashed, perhaps changing from one to the other wouldn't bother you, but me, in the future changing from 22" would seem interesting to me, especially because it's a resolution that isn't hard to move and it's a good size. Although the NEC's aspect ratio was better, it was like two screens joined which is something you can't do today because you're left with the border in the middle.

Now the games look great…

In that video it looks perfect, yes. And I'd venture to say that the ones on top are my old U2312HM.

In that case the change to a 29" you would notice it, as long as you're increasing inches the change is more significant.

In my case changing that surround of the image for a 29" panoramic, would be losing field of vision…

Best regards..
