Good call on price drop.

I was able to watch a couple of your vids on YouTube, and I was wondering what size monitor are you using?
I currently have a 7 yrs old 30 inch wide Dell monitor.

Would this monitor work?
LG 34UM61-P 34" Class UltraWide Full HD IPS Monitor
2560 x 1080 Resolution75Hz Refresh RateFreeSync Technology5ms Response Time21:9 Aspect Ratio

I would like to setup like you had the 4 minions on the bottom. I dont need 4k viewing, I just want the main toon to have a decent size so I see what's going on main with a little access to see what the others are doing.
Would two of these be significantly better than one larger monitor?

I currently use a 4K 42" UHD420 display.

In my opinion, I think 1080p stops looking acceptable after ~27" where the pixels reach the point where they can become noticeable, which can affects image crispness.

It's hard to say because it's subjective—some people swear by using multiple displays—but after switching to a single large display, I certainly enjoy using a single large display for everything.

Agree 100% with MiRai. I have 2x Samsung 4k 27" and I can barely stand 1080 on them. When not gaming I'm running them @ 2560x1440. So i imagine 2560 x 1080 would look odd and stretched to me. I've seen several peolpe *swear* by ultrawide displays. I just don't think I'd pay > $200 and only have 1080.

I was tempted to go this route, but utlimately I was able to snag my 2x 27"s for cheaper than a 40". Also having tried a single 40" for about 2 seconds a long time ago @ MiRai's place I don't think I could get used to it.
