Hah, jokes on you, I have an ultra wide.
Which is basically two monitors without any separator in the middle.
Ooh, the thinest of bezels: none.
once you go two ultrawides you will enter a new realm of existence.
Side by side or stacked on top?
Stacked on top, and vertical orientation since we're not doing Java here!
Six vertical ultrawides is the only way.
Side by side most of the time. I put them on arms so I can move them around and swivel them. It's ridiculous having two 34" Ultrawides. But, I can. So I Do. I also run a 3rd 40" 4k display when I need it or want to sit further back.
34” 5k2k ultrawide as main monitor and a 27” 4k in portrait for documentation.
Have a 27" 1440 in portrait for a side monitor. Best decision I ever made with my monitor set up.
Yeah I went from 1 32" 1440p and two 1080p side monitors to just a single 4k 43" and I'm saying that the time of multi monitor setups has come to an end.
I just made the switch from 3 24 inch monitor to a single 49 inch super ultrawide. It's basically 3 monitors with no bezels. A lot of things are annoying though like full-screening videos/games but there are workarounds.
My biggest problem with 4k and ultra wide monitors is screen sharing (like on zoom/teams/WebEx etc).
Most people still have 1080p screens at best, so when someone with a 4k or ultra wide shares their screen, it's really tough to see what's going on.
My main display is a 4k TV, but if I have to share, I'm sharing a window, or one of my auxiliary (1080p) screens.
I've resorted to just sharing my laptop screen. You can also use picture by picture to get split displays which are easier to share.
