    Thanks for the share.
    This looks cool.
    I am using 3 monitors at the moment which makes 1200 x 3x1920 . while 3ds max is on one window, I put all my 3ds max setting windows etc on one side screen and I put the ref images and chrome, spotify, bridge etc on the other side screen.

    But seeing your screen made me feel one 4k is better than 3 monitors!

      I agree with Mark, big uhd screen gives you a lot of space to play around with your workspace.For me it goes like this:
      Pros:
      • 4x times more pixels on the screen can give you that extra precision when modeling or pixel perfect post
      • Working inside a huge viewport is so neat! It might sound funny but it really helps you to immerse yourself in the project - giving the feeling of control
      • From every day examples, I am able to scale my framebuffer/ maya hypershade (material editor) / UV editor - etc etc. to almost full hd size and place it one of the viewports.
      • This size monitor can easily substitute your TV

      Cons:
      •Requires a bit more power - I have mine plugged to laptop with gtx 1060 and it can sometimes struggle to keep the viewport smooth
      • Can be really heavy, my Benq weights 17kg (!) so if you ever want to mount it on the wall it is not easy to find strong a enough arm
      •Scaling...not a huge issue anymore but you can still find yourself with your nose inside the screen if an app doesn't scale properly. I found Substance Painter to be the worst but that was 6 months ago so maybe they fixed it.
      •Windows 10 scaling is still not ideal, I found 150% scaling to be alright but some stuff still looks blurry.

      Good luck!
      Thank you very much for these detailed pros and cons.
      This really helps me a lot.

        I am using a 38" Dell and two older 24" screen to the left and right vertically. In the middle max is open, which is very nice to use on such a wide display. The left screen has the slate material editor open and the right shows folders and internet.
        All this is on a 3-arm monitor holder, which creates a lot cleaner desk.
        I like to be able to switch between to attached computers easily and using the same mouse and keyboard with the 38" dell. This is nice if another computer is rendering.

            I have not discovered any problems with the different resolutions. Sometimes I would like more horizontal resolution on the two 24" screen 1080px is not very much. But then, the whole setup would be to wide and I had to move my head a lot more.
            I am sitting at arms length from my monitors.

              Nice setup bildform !
              I would like to add my another w cents regarding big 32 inches screen. Recently we acquired 32 inch 4k AsusProArt monitor and my collegue is using it since one week and he complains about its size. By having to constantly moving his head due to its size his neck is painful. I I don't have this problem with mine monitor at home but it is definitely something to consider before getting one.
