Paid for my own website for the next 3 years. I'm trying to make a career of being a writer, publishing my books on Amazon, etc. So I bought myself an author website to help build some buzz. Of course I have no idea how to put a WordPress website together so it'll be a few days at least before it's suitable for public viewing. But it's nice to feel like I'm taking my career seriously.

I've been fairly annoyed with my current triple monitor setup for a good long while now, just 3 24" 1080p monitors on a relatively cheapish monitor mount that is honestly terrible sooo...

https://www.decogear.com/products/deco-gear-34-ultrawide-curved-monitor-144hz < Ordered this, with a 15% off coupon for a grand total of $325. Not the most amazing monitor in the world, but $325 for a 34" 1440p@144hz ultra wide is pretty ok.

https://www.amazon.com/ErGear-Monitor-Grommet-Mounting-Computer/dp/B085Y3XT5Z/ < And then will probably order one of these as well to get it mounted on my desk.

Will still probably keep one or maybe two of my monitors for side stuff, but man having an ultrawide will certainly be nice :lol:

Welp, got the monitor and stand today.

The monitor is ok, it's a VA panel so has the usual ghosting but otherwise it's not too awful, I think the ghosting is a little bit better than the 24" 1080p 144hz Viewsonic I was using I'm basically used to it. Claims to have HDR10, but as expected it's not good :lol:. Overall though pretty ok, color accuracy isn't too atrocious when configured yourself and yummy 144hz so that's all good.

The mount is pretty eh though, very wobbly unless I have it in a somewhat specific spot which is annoying but ehh it's a cheapo mount so I can't complain over much. May upgrade it later on but for now this works just fine.

Only ended up having space on my desk for just one of my other monitors, but that's fine, the 34" is certainly bigger than I was expecting so overall screen real estate makes this more than a good enough replacement lol.
