  • Can’t remember if I have asked this before or if someone else has but please do enlighten me (again). Thoughts on ultra wide monitor vs dual monitors setup? I am debating between the 2 options and currently more keen on the ultra wide option but I have never used one so what are the negatives?

  • Two monitors are better in situations where you want reference images etc on a separate screen. Much less alt-tabbing back and forth. Also means you can watch netflix while you're supposed to be concentrating on other stuff.

    Other than games I don't think there's much software which is specifically designed to take advantage of 21:9 displays, although there may be benefits with applications that allow you to customise the interface.

  • I bought a new one for 3d work recently (which I think is your field?) and ended up going with a QHD 32" (not ultra wide) with one little one for emails and extra windows. As a side, I've just been in Hayes Davidson's offices and a few of them were using the same set up, albeit with the smaller one in portrait so it matched better with larger one.
