This is a real gamer, going for that mad refresh rate on the right and the fabulous view on the left
Singleplayer on the left, multiplayer on the right
Not having a CRT monitor is my new excuse for sucking at CS:GO.
Either mad refresh rate or maybe more accurate sprite blurring for emulated old console games.
You got LCDs these days that go up to 500hz, CRTs aren't the best at it anymore really. Maybe they still have slightly better response times, but even that is a losing battle for them.
iirc it's still 0.001 ms on CRTs vs 0.1ms on the best LCDs?
But that's not their main advantage, their main advantage is having absolutely zero motion blur thanks to natural, inbuilt BFI (having one frame that just gives way to another causes some amount of them blurring together in your visual cortex, while if there's a black frame in between that keeps them perfectly separate, and even when running, 90% of a CRT's screen will be black at any given time). Also that natural BFI makes them look a lot smoother than an LCD, like a CRT at 60hz will look as good as an LCD at 120hz.
This is the monitor setup that I'd prefer. Especially if the CRT can run at 1600x1200 or even 1920x1440.
Digital Foundry did a video on modern gaming on a CRT and it was pretty compelling. I did think about getting one for a bit after that episode.
They're a lovely didplay technology, very nice to use

The CRT is not the problem, I have two myself, one high-end graphics monitor from 2003 and an average office monitor from 1993.
The issue is having the CRT right beside an ultrawide with no other monitors (like, say, a 16:9 or 16:10 for things that do not play nice with 4:3 or ultrawides), and also the part where that ultrawide is the the crime against good taste that is 32:9
You and I have different definitions of the word "dual"
There are only two monitors on the picture, bigger one have wallpaper that kinda makes it look like two separate monitors
it's not two wallpapers it's been actually split into two monitors with software look at the taskbar it's centred on the middle screen
Id say split into two desktops, not two monitors. But i love semantics lol
Your definition of dual isn't two?
right monitor is for nostalgia purposes or they just spent all their budget on the left monitor
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
