My Asus VG248QE is in the top center. The 120hz ViewSonic V3D245 in the upper right was my primary screen before that. The far right is a ViewSonic VX922 from 2005. It was the world's first 2 ms LCD and my first LCD. I still use it today I had to replace a couple capacitors that went bad in it last year but otherwise it is working just as well when I first got it. The others are all ViewSonics; VP2250wb, VX2233wm, VX2439, and VX2453. Every time I have upgraded to a better model I have just shifted the old monitors over as secondary displays. I have been lucky and haven't had a single bad pixel yet.

Wow dude lol, if the apocalypse ever happens and Skynet takes over we are using your house as the command center for the resistance!

We might need it tonight

That...that guy came at him with an axe, wow.

This thread makes me feel so poor

VG248QE in the center for gaming, and my old Samsung 226BW on the left to handle extra stuff.

The guys who I feel sorry for are those who are spending too much on displays that don't work well for their purposes.

You have some capable displays and one that's ready for G-Sync. I don't have a 248QE and I wish I did.

But yeah, that Vega guy. Jesus! That is more than money. That guy has some absolutely stunning passion!!! And who knows, it could have been purchased on credit! Don't envy anything but his passion is my advice. When it comes to being passionate, we all have the same resources to pull from. So DIG DEEP AND SUMMON YOUR BEST!

Very true. I would be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied with my setup. All I need now is Gsync and a 760 to run it and I'll be one very happy camper.

I never thought I'd see someone with 7 monitors, and all different ones at that. That must be a calibration nightmare when I can't even get my two to look similar.

Here's my setup currently with my new Asus VG248QE and my old Samsung 941bw:

Other gear: Rosewill MX Brown mechanical keyboard, Logitech G400s (though I need a bigger mousepad) and Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones. I also have an even older Viewsonic VA1912wb but I haven't figured out how to arrange my desk to make room for 3 monitors yet since I can't put the tower on the floor.

Excuse the quality...iPhone in low lighting.

This is my 21:9, 2560x1080, LG Flatron 29EB93-P (May 2013) Monitor. There is a 6500K backlight behind the display.

+ Love the aspect ratio for gaming!
+ Almost perfect sRGB after calibration.

- 1080 is not enough vertical resolution
- Grainy Anti-glare coating. Would much prefer a glossy panel and I am too paranoid to remove the AG coating myself.
- IPS glow
- On light gray backgrounds, I can faintly see a scan line moving from top to bottom...its very weird! I am using a very nice DisplayPort cable too, and I have a voltage regenerator (I am an audiophile..what do you expect? LOL!). This is the only monitor I have had this problem with.
- If the monitor is powered ON when I boot Windows 8.1, then it defaults to something like 800x600. Turning the monitor OFF/ON fixes the issue. Very annoying.

Looking forward to a 2560x1440+ GSYNC monitor with a glossy VA or IPS panel!

Identify your gear, brother! What kind of audiophile doesn't even say what kind of headphones he has.
