Mistic , in Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

3 monitors for me

Simply because I want 2 stacked on top of each other with 1 more vertical on the side for apps like Discord, Notepad, etc.

It has a lot to do with my job, though. Otherwise, I would've just taken 2 monitors.

Ultrawides don't have this versatility. They are great for immersion, however.

Home office has a single ultra wide plus my laptop screen under it. Work on the big screen, YouTube and teams on the laptop.

At work I have an ultra wide with a 16:9 portrait display (turned 90 degrees) on the side. That leaves the big space for work, and the side one for teams, YouTube, and any documents I have to reference.

First time using a portrait display, and it is so much nicer for reading PDFs and the like.

3 monitors, any day. I already hate 16:9 over 4:3

16:10 FTW!

Single ultrawide for everything. The ergonomics are superior.

Blackmist , in Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

Just a single 16:9 for me.

If I want immersion, I'll wear my VR headset.

Not sure for triple, because you can face the central screen and have two satellites, but for two screens yeah, one wide is much better. I'm not going back! Was always turning my head and having to pick one or the other. Was not convenient at all.

I’ve been using an ultrawide since 2017 and I have no desire to go back. If anything I want to get an even wider monitor next time. My advice is to make sure that you don’t get a 1080p ultrawide. The 1440p versions are well worth the price difference. Had a 34” 2560x1080 monitor at work one time and it felt really claustrophobic compared to the 34” 3440x1440 I had at home.

filister ,

I also have 3440x1440 curved at home and flat at work. My personal recommendation is to get a curved one. But if I have to shop now for a monitor, I will simply get a 4K flat. 32-34 inches. The lost vertical space is a real deal breaker for me and it annoys me.

Ultra wide are nice for example for audio/video editing, where you want to visualise the timeline, but majority of tasks you would do, including gaming on them are better on a standard 16:9 monitors.

deranger , in Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

I run triple LCDs at work and an ultrawide OLED at home. I prefer triple for productivity because of W11 window snapping, you can divide the three screens up really well in no time. For games I prefer the ultrawide, the unbroken picture and smooth curve are great.

You might be interested to learn of the Fancyzones Powertoy which makes snapping windows to preconfigured zones quite easy.

Almost as good as Divvy, but free

scytale , in Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

I've used multiple monitors (2-3) for the longest time. Switched to a widescreen last year and never looked back. Now I just use one monitor plus my laptop as an extra screen for static apps.

Can't forget all that cat hair to reinforce the dust.

sudoroot , in 10 years later and I've finally upgraded from 16GB to 32GB of ram

I just went back looking at pcpartpicker list from my 2017/18. Paid $175 for 16GB of Corsair lpx modules, so glad prices aren't like that any more

Original RAM was $150CAD before taxes, with tax $172.49CAD. My New RAM was $80 with tax. Love me a good sale.

Thank you :)

comfyquaker , in 10 years with this tube, and the day has finally come. RIP.

The post shows more devotion than many relationships found in my family tree.

Zorque ,

I've got half a dozen tubes floating around somewhere in various totes and drawers.

funkless ,
