Normally, when I decide to buy a monitor, I suck it up and try to get the best one I can afford at the time. However, my situation and needs are different this time. I am looking a set of quality but affordable monitors that will "get the job done, and well" for my ham shack. These monitors will not be used in any primary way for either watching movies, gaming, photo/video work, etc. Instead, they are for my radio desk where, side by side, one of them will be running ham radio software and the the other will most likely be used to surf the web simultanously.. But, I still don't want to buy junk. The size I am going for is is probably about 35'' each and simply 1080p. Any more resolution will be wasted.
So that is my first question. My second is this:
For those of you who have experience using dual monitors, I hope to be able to run both screens off my laptop as well as use the laptop screen itself as a third monitor. I only have 1 HDMI but two 3.1 Thunderbolt ports. Again, running three programs will not be an issue - they are not demanding on the cpu. Will this be possible based on my setup. I am using Windows 10 Pro, by the way.
Appreciate the help and if you need any more info, please don't hesitate to ask.
