You vs the Guy She Tells You Not to Worry About
Banana for scale but, also, the desk is 6' long and the little monitor is 43" (and will be re-purposed elsewhere).

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.
