Elite Dangerous is one of the games that I cannot imagine playing on anything smaller then my current setup where a 42" television is my main monitor.
 
Yeah I got an Asus ultra wide, beautiful monitor. The wide aspect helps a lot in elite.

People underestimate a good monitor. You shouldn't, after all its the window to your world.
 
I've been considering getting a monitor to run on my laptop, something bigger than the 17" that it came with. My main worry is that adding the second monitor will cause issues for the GPU.

Nice to know it makes a big difference though.
 
You're really hurting youself with that antique 1920x1080 res. I've got the PG278Q for a while now, all the same spec, but 2560x1440. I will never look back. Instead I'm starting to look at the new 32 or 34" curved displays in 21:9. Not yet fast enough though.

I looked long and hard at those before buying the 278Q. From what I've seen, backlight bleed is a really serious issue with them.
 
i use a 24" monitor for browsing and a 42" monitor / led tv for playing games :) Bloody brilliant :D

What TV model do you use? What controllers do you use? and how far are you sitting from that tv screen?

I'm looking for a similar solution with 43" UHD 4k TV :)

Yeah, I went through a few of them before settling on 1440p with the AOC Q2770PQU. All suffered with fairly bad IPS glow, backlight bleed and ghosting, and I found them all unfit for purpose ( playing in a dimly lit room ).

The newer models are no doubt starting to improve, but the early ones were pretty bad.

You should see it on an oculus rift devkit. Reolution is crap and the screendoor effect is all over the place but the experience beats my tripplescreen setup by far still.
Following your enemy with your eyes and head is that moment where you think you sit in that spaceship.

Cannot recommend current 4k tv's though there has been very few very high end ones of late with log input lag, currently most of them have quite a bit of input lag which could make the experience bad.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna get it when it comes out, though still skeptical thinking in terms of eyes getting tired and such, and wondering how it will be with glasses.
 
I should probably get a new monitor myself. I've been using my almost-decade-old 26" HDTV as my computer monitor for...well, almost a decade, and it's starting to show its age. I do have a spare monitor from when I won the contest where I got my current PC, but it's not as big. I just hope my current HDTV doesn't die anytime soon, because I don't want to have to squint to a smaller monitor. :p
