Dual monitor w/5k iMac

What are you using with your 5k iMac that's complimentary?

I'm considering switching my current setup to a 5k iMac but my workflow kind of requires two displays and I'm curious as to what others are doing.

I was using the Asus PB287Q. It worked perfectly and the screens scaled to the same size even though one was 5K and one was 4K.

Nice, and I really like the price point also. Can you get them to sit pretty even?

I'm using the Eizo EV3237 without scaling as main monitor and the iMac pannel as secondary monitor:

Yes, the $450ish Asus monitor has height adjustments unlike the $3500 computer sitting next to it. Used mDP to DP to connect it.

Anyone tried a dell 30"? I am replacing my current setup with an iMac 5k. I don't know what to do with my current U3014.

You could have spent a lot less https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042805&p_id=12798&seq=1&format=2 I'm using a dell 2410 as a second monitor. It's glaring the difference between the 1920X1200 versus the 5K. I'd much prefer the second monitor to be 4K

i think that cheap one is the older model that won't support 2500x1600. the one i bought works perfectly. it is monoprice model 6904

How's the dell working out for you? Thanks.

Just curious, does this monitor let you flip vertically? I'm thinking about doing a vertical setup for the left monitor and the right monitor to be the imac.
