For the screen, as a suggestion

Philips BDM4350UC/00 43-Inch Brilliance 4K Ultra HD LCD Display Monitor - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon.co.uk:

Buy

www.amazon.co.uk

Which would be 4K so the equivalent of 4 of the monitors you selected and better colour production and blacks.

Thanks SpyderTracks!
43" not too big for close viewing? The new desk is only going to be 700mm wide!?

No, for viewing, itd be excellent. I have a 28” 4K and I’ve always said 32” is the absolute minimum size really. 43 would be awesome.

Furthermore, you can mount it on the wall if needed with A standard 200 x 200 vesa mount. You can also get desk mounts which I have.

 

[SpyderTracks]

P.S. if you buy from amazon, their returns policy will cover most manufacturing faults out of the box so returns are easy. That’s if in worst case you get a dead pixel or something.

any issues with splitting a single screen for multiple applications? I suppose this is psychological as I always had 2 screens

I could use the wall mount.. the curved ones I had chosen didn't have wall mounding facility.
Straight or curved?

That screen has 4 separate inputs so you can effectively use it as 4 screens if you wanted to and have a quadrant per input.

don't you get that with PCS?

It's a straight monitor.

Yes, but they don't sell these screens.

no, all a single input, but say you are using AutoCAD and say a 3D model, so I would normally have one on one screen and the other on the other..

Yeah, that would be fine, there's a feature in windows 10 where you drag the window to the corner you want it to fill and it will automatically size it to a quarter size. Or if you drag it to the right middle it will split them in half.

Heard that curved monitors were more immersive, not sure if worth spending the extra for the curve?

There is an argument when it's a really large monitor, but imho, anything below about 35" is one of those kinda pointless snake oil things. But that's just me.

The thing with that monitor is that it's aimed at gaming, and so all the money has gon into the refresh rate, and response time, neither of which are relevant for your uses.

Between the two, I'd get the bonkers big one, without a shadow of a doubt.

SpyderTracks, happy with the rest of the PC spec?

The Fractal Meshify S2 is about the nearest in cost that will take the extra size of the H115i
