I have had that one too, but it was a whole bunch of years ago. I bought it used.

...am I a filthy plebe for only using one 30" monitor that I multi-window on?

It's an OLED, does that make it better?

I use my computer for both work and entertainment. I'm not content with any old things, honestly. Upgraded recently to a 1440p 27" 240 Hz OLED. Not super large but perfect for me at my desk with my viewing distance.

What a world of difference when you stare at the screen upwards of 12 hours a day. It really makes a difference.

Not a plebe, just different workflow/priorities

I mostly use my dual desktop monitors for gaming - so I have the primary monitor (27") for fullscreen gaming and the secondary monitor (27") for a half screen music player window and a half screen voice chat/text chat window

The monitor on the left is the same cheap LED monitor I had for over 10 years up until 3 years ago. It started to have weird shaky horizontal lines all over the screen and later would sometimes turn off and wont turn on for no reason. Surprisingly, worked well so long.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, you are, and it doesn't.

More = Better. I use three monitors at home and four at work.

Fair. Tbh, I just hate the bezels in between the monitors, my brain alerts me to it no matter how thin. The solution is probably for me to get an ultrawide, but most ultrawides nowadays are curved which...I also don't really care for.

Maybe I should use a TV as my monitor...

You just make me realize I technically do use a second monitor... it's my laptop 💀I run Discord/Nexus/whatever through it because my gaming group likes to play on console as well as PC, and it's just easier to take the second screen/voice chat to the TV this way.

Psu probably went poof. You can fix those easily. I did that to my flat screen tv.

Didnt knew it could be the reason. PSU was external, was easier to fix. But I just bit the bullet and got and upgrade to 32inch 165hz monitor.
