Hoping the small one is a proper gaming monitor. I dread the response time trying to use that behemoth for anything but shows.
Nah, the "little" one is a cheapo 43" TCL. FWIW, the big one does full 4K @ 120Hz w/ HDMI VRR (scaled by the set to the 8K panel) with <6ms input lag. I haven't broken into the ultrawide gaming setting, but I think it just shrinks the 4K space to an U/W (21:9 or 32:9) pixel count given to the OS/GPU so you can game at the game's "full screen" option into a "smaller" panel. They still refresh at 120Hz.
Oh damn so that definitely set you back a pretty penny. Very impressive! I found big monitors and TVs to be way too hard for gaming given the distance my eyes had to snap to see different stuff, so I downsized. Didn't consider the possibility of shrinking it but then again I didn't have a 4k monitor Lol. Definitely something I might have to look into again.
Honestly - I almost never game on my work setup. Heck, most of my game time is on my steamdeck. And for some stuff (space dogfighting in E:D, for ex) VR is the way to go. I hate how low res VR is, but the ability to put my head on a swivel to see around me beats using the hat any day.
