+1 for my new home office.

I’ve gone from a 27” to a 49” ultrawide to a 38” ultrawide and, aside from wanting an OLED version, I’m super happy with where I’ve ended up.
Found the 49” to be annoying because it’s too wide. Impossible to take in the whole screen at once so you’re constantly moving your head from side to side.

I like ultrawide. I've got 34"3440 x 1440 which is about the sweet spot I reckon.
Prefer it to dual monitors as you can have something directly in front of you with no bezel and it's ideal for very wide spreadsheets.
I normally have either two things as if it's a dual monitor or three things (one either side and slightly bigger in the middle).

24" was the sweet spot for 1080p pixel density and 27" is the sweet for 1440p.
I have a 27" 1440p running at 165hz and it's perfect for me.
I have another 60hz one for my secondary and a 3rd 24" 1080p (but I only use that for work)All mounted with ergotron LX arms

But DO I want a pair of 27" screens? My reasoning is so I can have editing software (realistically PUBG) on one screen and a script/brief/email/research whatever on the other
Going back to your original question, I don't think buying two new identical monitors makes any sense these days. Just buy a bigger one.

I wonder if I'm looking at things the wrong way. I've been holding out for something 'right' to come out and nothing has materialised.
I THINK I want a pair of 27" monitors, 1440p or higher, minimum 144hz (240 would be lovely). No big bezels/logos/physical switches on the front, no RGB gibberish.
A variant of the Dough Spectrum looks pretty solid to me but I'm advised by the resident bmx116 not to risk giving them money.
But DO I want a pair of 27" screens? My reasoning is so I can have editing software (realistically PUBG) on one screen and a script/brief/email/research whatever on the other.
But can you compartmentalise an ultrawide? What about performance? Where would I get the best performance? Two x 27" or an ultrawide? I'm presuming I don't want a regular 16:9 in 40" or something? If it's two x 27" monitors, I'd like both to be the same - ideally with some calibration so if I ever cross between windows with software my colours won't shift.
Who's using what? At home I'm currently on a single 27" 1080, 240hz screen which is absolutely fine for PUBG but I struggle with juggling work on it (though I do plug the editing monitor over a decklink, to a SmallHD Cine 13)
