Donna, I just bought a 34” curved monitor not Tv, is it necessary to use display fusion??

I get it Dave. At the time of my purchase two years ago I caught a buy one get one free monitor offer with four 24″ monitors (with displayport inputs) costing me around $600. All four monitors are attached via a 1 over 3 monitor stand ($100, to $300) and as such my desk top footprint is the same as having a single monitor stand. With the ability to daisy-chain each monitor, and USB connections combined with wireless mouse, keyboard, speakers, printer, etc., and while having all minimal wires hiding behind the single post monitor stand, I have absolutely no wires to clutter my work space. With such a setup, the outside two monitors are floating above the desk (no visible wires), thus one has work space area under each outside monitor.

The setup took a lot of initial outside time to work through, however it was easy to replicate when I set up a 2nd work station (via a network).

Keep in mind that driving this monitor issue is the space to mount multiple monitors or a single large screen monitor/TV. Some offices have limited space, as mine does. Secondly, the larger the monitor chosen, typically the farther in front of it a person should sit, i.e., the more distance between eyes and monitor. Also investing in multiple monitors and mounting systems costs more than one large monitor.

To address this question seriously, I considered a curved display setup a couple of years back, but ultimately went with 4 separate monitors that have nearly a zero side edge. With the 3 lower monitors (outside 2 at slight angles) the end viewable result is curve like, but at half the price. Key in my decision, was that my monitors all have displayport connections that enables daisy-chaining, meaning a single display cable from the computer is all that’s needed where as each monitor with then connect to each other. This same daisy-chaining works with USB cables, again a single cable from the computer and with USB cables connected from computer to computer, I have 12 active USB inputs (all from my monitors) via a single to the computer cable. Besides being a very clean install, with such connectivity, I still have 4 open HDMI inputs (cable box, game console, DVD, etc.), and 4 open DVI inputs (hooked to 2 older computers). As such, I have a live football game on one monitor, two monitors dedicated toward my current work, and the 4th monitor is being used to access an old computer to find a comment.

The curved display is cool, but the flexibility with multiple monitors is what drove my decision.

I just purchased this 49″ Dell curved monitor. I really like it and I was able to get rid of some of the clutter of wires.

If this is a technology question, I won’t be satisfied until the coach chimes in to tell us how to run our empires off a 2″ display Blackberry.

I will never go back after adding a TV. I have a 43” Sony Bravia 4K tv in the middle with display fusion creating 4 additional screens. I also have my 3 27” monitors on each side. So I have a total of 7 screens to work with. I can add more or reduce the amount of screens as well. It has made me more efficient and productive. Highly suggest getting a large screen 43” or bigger.
