Updating my two monitor setup to a three monitor setup. Currently running a 24”, 1080p, 75hz SCEPTRE monitor (F24) I got for free. A Samsung editing monitor 28”, 4K, 60hz, I bought three years ago (UR55).
The idea is to have a gaming, editing, and entertainment setup that has a large 32 inch main Hybrid screen for work, movies, and youtube. Then flanked by two 27-28in monitors with the left being Gaming focused and the right video & photo Editing focused.
The Hybrid should game (4K fps/hz 120+) and edit (decent DCI-P3/8Bit) decently. Then a Gaming focused monitor (high fps/hz 144+) and the Editing monitor (high DCI-P3/10Bit).
Should the editing monitor have more than 60hz for editing video?
How important is 10 Bit outside of editing, for watching movies?
How good is OLED? Is it worth it?
Uses:
PS5 gaming 4K 120fps
Pc gaming 1440p 144fps
Netflix, HBO Max, Youtube watching
Day Job- Emails, Docs, Excel

What’s the need for a third monitor? Due to limited space, I’d take that smaller monitor and turn it vertical. Then I’d get the same model (or at least the same size) monitor on the right. You may have to stack those vertically due to space though.

You could put two 27” portrait on each side of the main monitor, or stack a similar size monitor above the main and have one / two in portrait on either/both sides. That’s what my options would be
