I’m reworking my computer setup, and I’m currently debating with myself over whether I want to pick up a second monitor, or sell my current one and replace it with an ultrawide. I figured I’d seek out anecdotes to see which setup people tend to prefer.
Edit: Thanks y’all for the responses. I see a lot of people doing UWD+1, a few using dual, and very few using none at all. I’m at least going to roll with two monitors, but I’ll have to do some measuring to see if I can make an UWD+1 work for my desk.
Dual monitor (for years and years) destroyed my wrist and neck. Currently have an ultrawide, but I like it less than I thought I would just because things open up way off to the side, menus are way off to the side, etc. I need to get used to it, or customize my desktop to be more central. I’m actually considering going back down to a single HD monitor. I will mention that if you do get an ultrawide, get a really good quality one. When I upgraded, I got a cheap Samsung monitor and the picture quality, contrast, sharpness is not nearly as good as my old HD monitor was. Furthermore, it seems like they implemented DisplayPort in a way that did not play nicely with my PC. The monitor was turning itself on and off every two minutes while the PC was sleeping. Removing the DisplayPort cable, and connecting to the PC via HDMI solved this problem.
