Hi carvalho2012,
Are you asking for suggestions?

The only way to choose a chair is to sit in it to see how it feels.

As for monitors, get the ones with the highest resolution that your graphics card will support.
Oh -- the bigger the better.

Cheers,
VS

My monitor is AOC Q3279VWFD8
By far the cheapest monitor for his specs which are PERFECT for poker -
31.5", 75 Hz, Freesync, 2560 x 1440 resolution, IPS
Costs ~$250

As for the chair - Vorpal is right. Don't buy it online just because it looks cool! Go to a store and try it!

I have moved your thread to our computers and technology section. There fits it better.

Cheers,

Looks nice -- but $CAD 535 is out of my price range.
Do you run it at full native resolution?

I wonder if I could stream that resolution...

Woah, is that the best price you can find for it? I bought mine for 440 BGN (CAD 350) 2 years ago.
Yeah, I run it at full native on 75Hz, using HDMI to a laptop. No problems whatsoever.
There's also a DisplayPort support. IDK if it makes any difference.

Totally my best purchase ever! :f_cool:

Actually it was the 1st price I saw.
I found lower later.

I don't actually need it atm, but I have a very old 22" 1920x1080 that will need replacement one day.
It does OK, but is losing contrast

I have the predecessor model and am still happy with it. But I'm using the display port. Very soon I also will plug the hdmi as well to switch quickly between two settings (PC / laptop) wihout a kvm switch.

Nifty idea -- I have never tried that.

And it works like expected (and more important like I need it). Takes about eight seconds to switch between hdmi and dp - I let you be the judge if this counts as quickly.

Choose mesh-type chairs instead of gaming chairs, they are far better for your back and more comfortable than most gaming chairs.
