I have 3 - all different brands…
The oldest one is a Lenovo I bought in 2022 - I actually bought 2 - but one of them has failed (see further up). I replaced it with an AOC branded curved gaming monitor…
So (L-R):
- Lenovo “G32qc-10” - 150 Hz QHD curved (my work MacBook) - HDMI
- AOC CQ32G4E - 180 Hz QHD curved (my AMD Ubuntu desktop) - DisplayPort
- Gigabyte “G32QC A” - 165 Hz QHD curved (but on Mac it can also do 3840x2160 - but that’s too small (my personal MacBook) - HDMI
Plus atop the AOC monitor on my Linux desktop I have a flat Lenovo 32" QHD (only goes to 50 Hz) - that’s also on Displayport - purchased in 2020 - still sorta going - except it no longer does HDMI
And I “drive” the two MBP (M1) from Synergy KVM running on my Linux desktop…
Also - off the right side - I have 27" AOC FHD monitor that I mostly use with my RPi5 running Ubuntu…
I bought that AOC monitor in 2011! So - AOC seem a better brand than Lenovo!
At one time - I did have all 3 curved monitors running on my Linux desktop machine - my AMD Radeon RX6600 has 3 Displayport and 1 HDMI - but I didn’t find a single game that would span all three monitors - so gave up on that idea…
I need both Macs for work - some apps don’t play well on Linux - like Microsoft AVD (yeah you can do it in a browser - but it’s shitty - Microsoft have “Windows.App” to run remote Windows stuff hosted in Azure - there’s nothing for Linux) - I did try some sort “remote desktop” thing from Linux to control the Macs - with mixed results - so each Mac gets its own monitor…
Also - my work issued MBP is fairly locked down - so it will probably block me doing anything like TeamViewer or AnyDesk or NoMachine… I’m just glad they let me use Synergy KVM Client - and ResilioSync (they don’t let me use USB drives!).
