Post your rig setup

I just got the Surface Pro 7 and I'm loving the power of USB 3.1 gen 2 (the USB-C port on the side).

I have everything connected via a single USB-C dock including two more monitors.

My main workstation is in the lower level.

Never really understood why images get turned. On my PC it showed normal.  Ok, upon click it comes up right.

 

Anyway, the above is where I mostly live.

You're most welcome! I gave up looking for a better quality monitor when I got my BenQ's, there is absolutely nothing better.

Enjoy! :-)

Go with the Benqs if you can afford it, great monitors.

 

That said, I don't know what graphics card you run, but with my Radeon card, I am able to run the Samsungs at most any resolution I want.  Higher than native.  I run at 2560x1440, even though the monitor isn't supposed to go higher than 1920.

If you want screen clarity you need to stick with 'native'. When doing graphics I never mess with the res....;)

That is one crazy case Jafo. Kind of got me wanting to have something a little more esoteric next time.

When I did my machine it was essentially the 'best money could buy' - at the time... back then around 8k USD.

Rule is....it's not going to be replaced/made redundant any time soon.....[divorce, anyone?]...;)
