and only displayports are left, i have adapters but hate adapter

2017-11-23 23:57:59 UTC  

makes it a pain to manage the monitors-umbilical

2017-11-23 23:58:58 UTC  

when you have an inch and a half thick bundle of cable running along the wall the last thing you need is to add four inches of adapters

2017-11-23 23:59:30 UTC  

you could put the adapter on screen side / behind the screen if that's the only reason

2017-11-23 23:59:39 UTC  

the weight makes the connection unstable since displayport isn't latching

2017-11-23 23:59:49 UTC  

or use a DP-HDMI cable

2017-11-24 00:00:14 UTC  

DP on video card side, HDMI on monitor side

2017-11-24 00:00:24 UTC  

dp-hdmi cable doesn't work for this, need an active adapter

2017-11-24 00:00:55 UTC  

the only monitors I can think of with your constraints are professional eizo devices >1k

2017-11-24 00:00:56 UTC  

tbh i may even go for usb3.0 displays if there really isn't any sub-$200 monitor with DP

2017-11-24 00:01:25 UTC  

that isn't fuckoff huge

2017-11-24 00:01:41 UTC  

maybe you can find older ones from 2010-2011, iirc that was when they started using DPs

2017-11-24 00:01:50 UTC  

second hand eizos

2017-11-24 00:02:14 UTC  

considering 3/4 of my monitors are dell 1708s, i wouldn't mind older, any good pixel/$ models i should look for?

2017-11-24 00:02:52 UTC  

flexscan series are the cheaper models

2017-11-24 00:03:10 UTC  

you might have luck with those , I can't suggest you specific models

2017-11-24 00:03:30 UTC  

well, 3.5 since i got a tv for free in a raffle i stuck over my rack to manage stuff that doesn't have IPMI on

2017-11-24 00:04:32 UTC  

holy shit that price range is wild, ebay search'd flexscan and i get $120, $300, $1000, $550, $140

2017-11-24 00:06:01 UTC  

yes new ones with higher specs are >1000

2017-11-24 00:06:28 UTC  

EIZO FlexScan EV2730QFS3 is a nice meme

2017-11-24 00:07:35 UTC  

1:1 display

2017-11-24 00:07:44 UTC  

1920x1920

2017-11-24 00:07:57 UTC  

3 of them next to each other wouldn't even be that bad

2017-11-24 00:08:20 UTC  

yes

2017-11-24 00:08:30 UTC  

or 16:16 for the marketing

2017-11-24 00:08:42 UTC  

i just need two more monitors

2017-11-24 00:08:45 UTC  

since we say 16:10 and not 8:5

2017-11-24 00:10:29 UTC  

tbh for my use case 1920x1080 is kinda overkill on anything but the primary monitor

2017-11-24 00:11:43 UTC  

only one of my VMs has a desktop environment installed so the rest i can have a smaller window for, four terminal emulators tiled per monitor on 1280x1024 monitors with a small font in the terminal works great for the rest

2017-11-24 00:14:14 UTC  

honestly though let's be real you don't do a 6 monitor setup because you need to, you do it because it makes your cunt moist

2017-11-24 00:15:10 UTC  

"need" would be just one monitor with stacking wm a taskbar and workspaces

2017-11-24 00:42:14 UTC  

one of these is not like the other.
