There were two very large drawbacks to this setup however, the first being that the cabling was not clean nor particularly simple to deal with considering the lack of gaming GPUs with three of the same output. HDR was a mess back then, with no one really following any standards and as for adaptive sync? We first saw it in person and started our investigations in early 2015, though we had been looking at screen tearing and frame times for several years.įor those reasons, a 3K display which could be easily switched to a 1080p for more demanding games made sense, especially after investing in a triple monitor mount which let you switch between portrait and landscape with a bit of work.

This was also before the hardware to drive a game engine at 4K with reasonable frame rates was effectively available.ĪMD and NVIDIA were just starting to play with dynamic resolution features to mitigate effects enough to let you play at reasonable frame rates. At that time it was significantly less expensive than purchasing a single large display, especially one of a 1440p or possibly 4K resolution to offer a decent looking pixel density.

For about six years I have been staring at three ASUS VS229H-P 1080p displays fixed at 60Hz refresh, and displaying the desktop and games via AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround.
