It is a question I have been asked a lot, which is better? Ultrawide or dual monitors and it's a complicated answer as mostly it depends on what your use case is but in this video we will be going through some of the pros and cons of both ultrawide and dual monitors. So if you're asking yourself the question what monitor should I get? then look no further, in this video I talk about everything from price to performance.

My Monitors:

Being a relatively new gamer I never really thought about the monitors. This video has me thinking!!! Great breakdown, well done!

I bought a 34 inch ultra wide monitor, and it’s perfect for me! When k need to work on a project, I can have my research, comms, code etc open. Sure I could just two monitors for that, but the immersive experience it provides for gaming is great.

I recently went from a triple monitor setup, one 1440 27 inch, and two 24 inch 1080's, to a single 34 inch ultrawide. I ended up putting my 27 inch 1400 monitor back in the mix, and now run with
the 34 inch ultra wide and the 27 inch both at 1400. My Adobe apps, Premier, Lightroom, Photoshop, my games, and movies, all look and feel and even seem to function better running full screen on the ultrawide, but its just too useful to have a second monitor to run your side apps on.

One other con to dual monitors is that together they consume more energy than one single ultrawide. Mostly because power supplies are not 100% efficient, so two identical power supplies of the same power rating end up wasting more energy than one higher rated power supply of equal or higher efficiency.

I felt immersed in my flight slim on my 15" CRT all the way back in 1995...

i have been on an 49" ultrawide - i am on linux and use a customized twm so arrangment etc is no problem for me... i was quite happy but the more i progress in my craft the more i wish for vertical space... atm i am considering going 32" 4k with a side monitor on either side in portrait... if only the 5k2k uw would have more than 60hz...

I love how the image of rain coming down against the window was mirrored digitally on the monitor

Great video. Useful benefits and drawbacks. Clear, fast and simple. Loved the video

I am shocked thta you dont have 4K monitor. For me its #1 reason why I prefer dual monitors, not ultrawide

[patricknestor]

Really good review, decision made ... many thanks

Great video. I only use my monitor for work. The key function I need is having 2 - 3 excel workbooks open side by side to use at the same time. Do you thing a 49 inch ultrawide would be best for this as based on your video above I am seriously thinking about buying one. I have a huge home office L Shaped Desk that is 2meters * 1.6meters also so would fit nicely.

this got me thinking!! awesome video boss :)

Hi I'm an architect, ultrawide monitor is good, planning to get one, but I have no idea how it will be useful to me.. currently I'm using a dual 24" monitor.

Isn’t the only negative really the price? If a game doesn’t support ultrawide, I can just play it in a supported aspect ratio in the middle and use the side(s) for discord or other programs right? So unless I want to have a vertical screen, I can use an ultrawide the exact same way I’d use a dual screen setup just without the border in the middle and the added benefit to position my main window in the middle

Hey man, got a question for you regarding monitor arms. Do you find having 1 dual or 2 singles are better. Looking at the ergotron LX series in matte black and currently have a monitor for my gaming PC and a laptop (macbook pro) which I was gonna use as secondary screen and get a vesa converter. Not sure which would suit me better and returns are hard to do where I am unless amazon is more forigiving.

Thanks for the tips mate cheers!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾

[jbimmerle]

super helpful as I'm currently trying to decide between an ultra wide or dual 4ks. unrelated question - where did you get the rain desktop/screensaver shown at 0:24?

[dancarpenter]

What do you feel is the best monitor for preventing eye strain from working from home ? Thanks for your time

[busterizow]
