My Triple Monitor Setup

NEC PA322UHD 32" Monitor + 2 Dell U2412M 24" Monitors

I am quite happy with my current LCD display setup so I wanted to share my setup in case anyone wants to replicate.

My current setup:
NEC PA322UHD 32" Monitor + 2 Dell U2412M 24" Monitors

Since I am a developer as well as a product design person, I like to have a lot of screen real-estate for multiple views/apps. It also helps me to print less and use less paper.

After having issues with the Asus PQ321Q not running at 60hz because of the SST limitations I decided to upgrade my monitor. I first tried the LG 31MU97-B 31" monitor but I ultimately ended up returning the monitor because it was too dim. It felt like a step down from the Asus PQ321Q.

Afterwards I did a lot of research and tried to find the best 4K display available. I couldn't really find a monitor that stood well above the rest until I read the NEC PA322UHD Review from PCMag.

I always thought that NEC made reliable monitors but I didn't think they had built a super competitive 4k monitor. When I saw the price tag though, I was discouraged. Ultimately I ended up saving money and finding one of these used for about $1000 off of the retail price.

I know the price is a big hurdle but I can tell you this monitor is absolutely worth it. The panel is simply stunning. It's also got a built-in Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) switch, which lets you control two computers with one keyboard and mouse when used with the two upstream USB ports.

When time came to get a second monitor 4K for home I opted to get the Asus PA328Q monitor because it has great reviews. I had a terrible experience with the monitor. From the get-go text was blurry and I had to adjust dozens of settings to get the screen to even look tolerable. It wasn't a defect because I returned the first one and got another one with the same issue. Ultimately I returned that one as well and decided I would wait for another NEC PA322UHD.

I ended up finding one refurbished on eBay for about $1200 off of retail.

I used Listing Lookout to create a price alert for new listings under a certain price.

I also set up an Amazon marketplace alert using the Keepa Box extension for Chrome:

One last note for those of you that might be looking for a monitor mount that supports 30" monitors and greater. The Humanscale M8 monitor arm holds up to 40 lbs. Here it is holding the chunky PA322UHD.

Happy pixel hunting!
