I’ve had ultra wides and dual monitor setups. It depends what you want to do. I don’t game and use my computer for productivity which is why I prefer dual 32 inch 4k monitor setup. It provides more real estate for all my applications and spreadsheets without having them to stack on top each other.
Two monitors is the best choise for web development (27" QHD). Ultrawide is not the same as 2 × 16:9 There is also a problem when you want to share your screen and don't want to show all you have on your only screen. Three monitors is perfect!
@@atl3630 I'm not sure about other software. But MS Teams lets you share only the specific software that you want to share, so you can limit to just that software and nothing else will be shown when sharing.
I'll personally stick to dual monitors. Looking into buying a 144hz monitor as my main display and keep one of my 60hz monitors for other applications that don't need the higher refresh rate
How is that going? For me games would lower to the min refresh rate (in this case 60Hz) if you run them in windowed fullscreen. For games like PoE it was annoying.
Great, informative video - quick question! I edit on two monitors. One is my full 'editing' screen and the other a full screen monitor of the video (I use Vegus like you - I can't beleive people still use DaVinci/Premier when Vegus is by far the easiest, quickest and most intuitive!) So my question is, can I buy a large widescreen monitor and have is split to 'editing area' on one side and 'monitor area' on the other? Would it still need two HDMI inputs from my PC to 'trick' it? Thanks for your help!
To everyone, just be aware that if you move from Curve monitor to Flat monitor, you will face one issue. Edges of flat screen will feel away while the center would seem bulging. It will feel as convex lens. Really annoying. And might feel weird and have strange feelings looking at the monitor. If you plan to have curved at work and at home then it might be ok. but moving back and forth from curve to flat might cause eye strain and feel strange. I have 34 inch curved and I wish I could go back to flat. And at 34 inch size curve is not worth it. It might be useful when you go ultrawide >38 inch and above. Otherwise say away from curve. And curve is going to cost more than flat in most cases.
ultrawide imo, I switched from dual 1920x1080 (27") to a single 5120 x 1440 (49" 1800R), and just having that middle bezel gone is amazing!!! being able to look dead-on is amazing. I'm an electrical engineering student so I'll have LT spice, word, browser, and Arduino open and I can resize the window to work for me. plus there's a PBP mode if you want to watch two different things
@Michal Zuzaniak 2 or 3 monitors IMO. you can angle them how you like them, easy to lock and resize applications using hotkeys etc. one monitor is best if you have an insane video card and care about that kind of aesthetic.
I use two 27" WQHD monitors. One up front and on at the side because I do not use each monitor 50% of the time, but maybe 75% and 25%, so it helps that my head needs to move less. With one 49" monitor you are pretty much stuck to have it centered. Definitely something to consider.
I am using two 27” Acer monitors and quite keen on buying a new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, with it’s mini-LED backlighting, a 240Hz refresh rate and 5120 x 1440 resolution HELL YEAH! I am also considering a larger 65” 4K OLED Smart TV as an alternative. Thanks for creating this video 👍🏻
Yes ultrawides look nice, but keep in mind that a 2x27" Dual-Monitor Setup has a lot more screen real estate than an 34" Ultrawide (assuming both are 1440p)
Currently run a dual monitor setup. 1 27' with high refresh rate for gaming, and 1 27' high color accuracy monitor for content creation. Also very handy for keeping tabs on discord, wiki's, random youtube, chatting with friends, etc. Even if there was an ultrawide that fit all my requirements, I think I would only be convinced to switch it is was something nuts like 4k, 144hz, oled, and just blew all other experiences out of the water.
Yeah i was going to get a ultra wide monitor for productivity and gaming + ps5.. can’t find an ultrawide that supports vrr for a decent price. Might just do a dual monitor setup
Multitasking is better in dual monitors. Multimedia contents are better on Ultra wide. About Chrome, tabs might be smaller but u have another screen for running another app in full screen. Well u can just resize the apps in ultra wide, but it still feels good on dual monitor.
Very nice video & video quality! While looking around for an ultrawide that does all the things I want it to, I came to the conclusion that that doesn't exist yet... So I am now split between a dual 16:9 setup that does have all the specs I want or waiting for an ultrawide to come to market. Although not being able to buy a graphics card upgrade at the moment is making the choice easy since my current card wouldn't run smoothly on 1440p anyway...
@@OmoruyiOmofonmwan Cons: Many apps don't support ultrawide very well. The amount of curve may not be to your liking. (I wish mine was more curved) Too big to transport safely. Pros: First person games look very good.
As an artist/coder/designer I would be lost without my dual 16:10 IPS screens. I can run Visual Studio on monitor1 and I can run Photoshop on monitor 2 with my Wacom A5 tablet mapped to monitor 2 as well. That means my tablet still matches the aspect ratio of a single monitor, which avoids inconsistent X, Y scaling. When I used to mod games like GTAV, I would run the game and Visual Studio on monitor 1, leaving monitor 2 for browser, reference docs, 3DS Max or Photoshop... or a combination of those 4. I also use edge-snap a lot, so it's nice having 4 edges to snap things to. I started using dual-screens in the 90's and I'm happy to stay with that setup. If my PC was a pure gaming machine, then I would probably have an ultrawide (or triple screen) but it has always been a development PC first and foremost.
dual monitor all the way especially if u have a teacher who uses those annoying browser locked screens for tests. One for the teacher to think ur not cheating and another to cheat with that they wont be able to monitor :)
I've been looking into ultrawides for about 2 yrs now. I've been using dual monitors for about 15yrs. The advent of curved ultrawides got me interested. But... I've been waiting on certain things to happen. 1) Gsync. I like it or freesync. But the physical unit drove costs up. Luckily Gsync on certain models no longer requires the unit to reap most of the benefits. 2) Better panel tech and improvement. We have got that over the years but I'm still waiting on some more innovation with things like OLED and for costs to drop. 3) Cost. I've had 0 issue with spending $500 to 800 on 1440p Gsync unit monitors but I'm not interested in paying much more than double for a single ultra wide especially with the added costs of the newer tech despite it no longer having the physical Gsync unit anymore. 4) Screen splitting. There are tons of software options now. And you can even run monitors as 2 separate ones with another cable if the monitor supports it. But it's a curved display. I'd want to be able (at least in a fair bit of games) to have the game playing in the center with 16:9 and have 2 smaller vertical ones flanking it. You can do this but I also want the ability to Fullscreen it. It seems like some software will be able to do this shortly. Funny thing is when all this stuff happens and I finally get an ultra (or super ultra) wide, I'll still probably end up using on of my current monitors as a true second monitor anyway.... I'm too used to it. But I'll probably just use it in portrait mode.
would be great to cover how to effectively section up your ultrawide so it carries the main advantage of seperete monitors: its easy to organise your windows
Why not both? 🤷♂️ I work as a software developer and I have a 38" ultra wide monitor as my primary monitor and then a 34" ultra wide on top with a monitor arm. I also have my 16" MacBook screen on the side. The things I'm actively working with are always on the primary monitor. On the top monitor I can have a video, some documentation or todo-lists. On the laptop screen I have Slack. For me that works very well and I really like the screen real estate.
I have always used dual monitors (in the beginning it was only the Laptop till I move out). I just recently change my second monitor into a curved one (24 zoll) after my main monitor broke years ago, I changed it to a 28-30 Zoll monitor. Two curved monitor just looks nice in terms of aesthetic. I could go for the same size but I wanted to save up a little bit. It was quite affordable for a curved monitor with a decent size. Usually, I game on the main monitor in full screen. The second monitor it kinda depends watching video or chatting, if not gaming. My graphic tablet is my third screen. Thanks to the setting, it's also perfect for reading mangas.
I tried the ultra wide and hated it. I prefer dual monitors. Actually I REALLY prefer a docked laptop with 2 monitors. I keep my communication apps open on the laptop screen and use the 2 big monitors for my productivity tools.
I personally use a CRT as a second monitor. It's extremely cheap (got my current one for free), supports reasonable resolutions and refresh rates (1600x1200@85Hz atm) and movies, TV shows and your video often look amazing on it.
@@francocolomba nope, high-end PC CRT's will actually do these kind of resolutions and refresh rates and you can still find them for very cheap. Plus they have very deep blacks in the right conditions making them great for content consumption, with only a few exceptions (for exemple shows that are very dark, like batman movies, will be almost unwatchable because of CRT's relatively low dynamic range). CRT's are basically oled, but take up more space and are more flexible in terms of resolution, refresh rate and latency (they can have badically no latency if your GPU supports pure analog VGA, most newer GPU don't support it or convert from DP to VGA, which adds latency.)
I am having difficulty deciding between dual monitors or a single wide monitor. I love multi tasking, playing a game while having RUclips in the background and typically tab between RUclips, other pages for research and Word for writing / note taking. Doing this really fulfills my ADHD nicely.
dual monitors will always be more versitile than one wide monitor. Dual monitor can be stacked up unto each other, you can make the other one vertical for specific purposes and a lot more.
Both. 3440x1440 144hz ultrawide as main and a vertical 1080p monitor for everything else. :) I got a 34" Gigabyte G34WQC for 379 that I have been extremely happy with for the price.
Great review. I just upgraded my 34 21:9 inch to a 38 inch 21:10 monitor which is on an arm. The extra height on the 38 helps. I also have a tilted 24 inch monitor at around 45 degrees right under my 38 inch monitor. Not the greatest since space is limit but it works since I made sure to get a deep desk 36 inches deep and 52 inches wide.
Nice, I really wanted a 38 inch version, but LG's 34 GP83A was already expensive, despite the sale I got it on ($800 Cdn). My next purchase in a few years will def be 38. By then I'm sure HDR will be improved and local dimming will be a regular thing on most monitors. IPS is still tje way to go, but hopefully contrast ratios can be improved, or a new panel will emerge. Gaming/response is incredible on it, but movies are pretty meh.
My favorite game ever is Rimworld. A good portion of the gameplay is spent on menus and the UI itself has a lot of info especially with lots of mods. In this case, an ultrawide would be considerably better since you can have more menus open without blocking your view.
Dont listen to this guy about the cost of a monitor arm. Just check how much weight a specific monitor arm can handle. Then buy accordingly. Wont cost you more than 60 for a monitor arm that works perfectly fine.
Let me clarify, if you want an adjustable arm it'll cost you more. I did as you say, looked up the max weight capacity and according to their specs it should've been fine but it couldn't handle it. I may have gotten unlucky though.
I don't agree with the competitive point, because we react faster to things appearing out of the focus part of the vision. We need to think before act when the things run on front of our eyes, but when it appears on the sides, we just move by reflex, so the reaction time is really shorter
its mainly that most devs design game ui intended for normal displays and an ultra wide causes you to have giants gaps between important indicators on opposing sides of the screen
Thank you for the great review. I have order the new Studio Display, but right now I still use my 27" iMac with a 5K Retina display and a 2nd monitor of Iiyama, also a 5k 27" monitor. But I'm wondering of a Widescreen like for Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo Mini LED or Samsung Odyssey G9 QLED won't be a better choice instead of two seperated monitors? Thank you already for your time
I just bought a Samsung G9 ultrawide but wondering if I should send it back and just get dual monitors. I'm not gaming, but would like less clutter for all of my needs (browsing, trading, and video editing).
Problem with dual monitors in my experience is that they are nice if you got lots of shit running that you might want for references etc, like a word document open as you edit something in InDesign. But you can already do this with ultrawide even in Windows Vista. If you are casual user, dual monitors are mostly used for having stuff like Steam chat, web browser or Discord open while you play your game on main monitor, but if your game does not support borderless which is A LOT of games out there, you basically have to minimise the game to change something in the browser or your discord, some games crashes when you minimise because they are just that poorly designed. And again if you run borderless mode, you sacrifice performance, for some people it could mean 5 fps which would mean you go from stable 30 fps to 25 which is no bueno. Most ultrawides allow you to just crop the sides of the monitor if you go fullscreen in 16:9 mode in the game, there different scaling methods inside the monitor settings most of the time. But really, dual monitor setup has quirks and ultra wide has quirks too but its just one monitor and its far more versatile than dual monitors, considering these days ultra wides are like 200 euros for a high refresh rate one, I am starting to think it just makes no sense going for dual monitor anymore because at the end of the day if you are going to do work, ultra wide gets the job done, but if you game and you run borderless you can still just lock your game to half the screen and have your discord on the other halve, so effectively you still have the same setup except its in one screen.
Maybe ultrawide would be better than dual setup if you can also easily share your screen (I meant specific split screen) for Zoom meetings without installing any softwares to do so. Let's consider those who have company-provided PC that you would like to connect to personal monitor. Even if you buy LG ultrawide with onscreen software, it would be useless with company provided computers since the IT would prohibit you from installing or uninstalling softwares which means you could only use windows snap. At least with dual monitors, multitasking and sharing one screen for presentation during meeting is easier.
I got my first ultrawide a year and a half ago and will never go back. Movies and games look gorgeous. More of an immersive feel. Mine has a slight curve, not the more hefty curve of the Odyssey. When I checked out a heavy curve (sorry don't know the official terms) I found it too annoying at the edges of the screen, slightly disorienting. Kept my old monitor to use as a second but don't think I've turned it on in over six months. I play primarly newer games but now and then load an older game from my Steam library. So far they have all run fine. I don't play any fps games though.
good point that most movies are shot in 21:9 ratio, now I undertand why the top and bottom black bars are shown on my 16:9 monitor and tv when playin a movie in "full screen" without distortion
I want an Ultrawide, but i can't work with just 1440p or 1600p. So the 5K|2k seems like the solution to it, but they are still expensive. I will wait for a year or 2.
One thing I don't like about ultrawide is that it's too big to run just one program. Even if you make the window small, I'd rather not look at such a big display when there's no need to
Everything works as you said until you open a steam game then the 2nd monitor goes to no signal and picture is only on 1 screen. Then when you exit the game it goes back to ultra wide. Smh completely pointless. I wonder if is a steam setting or something
Good idea! I am planning on a video comparing different monitor panels (IPS, TN & VA) where I will focus more on productivity. I think for productivity it depends on what that means for you. If you need to read a lot, the extra vertical resolution you can get from a 16:9 display is handy, whilst if you're editing videos or producing music you may appreciate the extra width with the ultra-wide.
@@Revolve-Studios The definition of productivity for me is odd. I do read a lot of articles as part of my work, but I also have many tabs or applications open, some of which require horizontal scrolling. So I'm finding 21:9 AR the middle ground between 16:9 and 32:9, but I may add one vertical monitor. Idk. Point is, you make a valid point. Productivity is different for everyone. Looking forward to that video though!
Am using the ASUS VG27AQ paired with a AOC C27G2Z. I switch between these two depending on what type of game I am playing. The VG27AQ for not so competitive games(story games, laid back games, and etc.), and then the C27G2Z for competitive games (mostly shooters)
For me personally I run an UW and a normal 16:9 monitor, because especially in slower games i love to have some show or youtube video on, on the side. Which means LOADS of screenspace, but also more space taken by monitors. But honestly that seems to be the best setup, because you can play on the 16:9 in games that are better fitted for it and still can simultaneously watch shows
I progressed from 2 x 24" 1080 dual setup to an ultrawide 34" 1440P + 15.6" 1080 laptop screen setup for work. I'm a 'sometime' gamer. My experience is if you're into gaming 2 x 1080p monitors might be the way go. Ultrawide 1440P requires a powerful/expensive GPU which I'm not prepared to buy. Lots of older games that I still like e.g. Crysis--don't do 1440p. I've tried 1080p gaming (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650) on the ultrawide. The visible desktop bordering the 1080p gaming window makes for an ok but not as immersive as I'd like it to be gaming experience. But I bought an ultrawide for work reasons so, that's ok.
I currently have 2 x monitors, but have just picked up a 34" curved Samsung monitor. I am hoping I have made a good decision. We'll see in the next week or two. If I can have two displays on the bigger screen without dramas then I'll be chuffed.
@@manumoroncini3939 Yeah they will always post half the story and then the vital part of the story is missing. LOL makes no sense to even post the first part, just a waste of time.
what if you use picture by picture mode, and make it so that its 2 monitors. does the performance take a hit when you minimize the game to change the the other window?
I have always used dual 27" monitors but my new employer gave me a laptop with a USB C that doesn't support video. I just received my Samsung 32" M8 UHD/4K Smart Monitor. Will never go back to two monitors again. Getting used to using the snap-to function to organize my display and has plenty of room to read one document will typing on another.

Actually I've had problems with this, at least through MS Teams, when sharing your screen or even a window (if it's fullscreen e.g. Powerpoint) it will share the black bars on the left & right sides.
That’s a really good point.. one I’d not thought about until you mentioned it! Would be good if teams had a mode to capture an area of the screen, not the full screen or an app.
why not just get a spectre 49" super ultrawide that can be 2 27" 1440p screens i just bought it not saying go out and buy it but it seems to be a good find. but im cheaping out right now. i cant live without an ultrawide now.. but i wasent going to get the same ultrawide i had.
I need a wide monitor/dual monitor so I can play split screen co-op Lego games with my buddies and girlfriend, it's hard to see the screen when we have to share it vertically split.
I will share one more opinion on this.. with dual monitor setup you can continue working on personal things on one monitor and only share the one which has your code or professional work running. The other is completely out of view.. and you are still sharing your entire monitor... I typically have one personal chrome profile and my whatsapp which sits on one monitor and my work google chrome profile open on another monitor and i make it a point to share entire screen with only the professional google chrome profile.
Some ultrawides can be used as two displays - so basically a dual screen setup. This could fix some of the gaming issues while still giving you the option to have the advantages in productivity
@Meiariscando It is called "Picture by Picture" (PBP). You turn it on, connect the 2 cables you would connect to different monitors both to the ultrawide, so you have 2 cables going from your laptop to an ultrawide and you can use it as 2 monitors.
@Meiariscando I think i remember the LG ones having that. They give a you a spl LG monitor manager software also to install on your system. And that gives you a lot of shortcuts and productivity modes...like you could instantly split into 4 monitors (divided into 4 portions basically). I guess thats ideal for these stock market traders etc.
I use 3 Monitors: 2 ultrawides + 1 full hd all from LG, still considering to add another ultrawide here because i still notice i do ran out of spaces and happens to do alot of Alt + Tab when doing my work. What is my benchmark whether i need another monitor or not? how many alt tab per minute. If in average i have to do 0.1 alt tab per minute, i will start to consider adding new monitor, having more than 1 alt tab per minute, i already decide to buy a new one
great video, could someone assist me in splitting an ultrawide screen monitor into sections, that i can actually MAXimize ? using windows 7. AGON ultra wide screen. the software included just makes a green grid but can not maximize in it .

I am using two 27” Acer monitors and quite keen on buying a new Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, with it’s mini-LED backlighting, a 240Hz refresh rate and 5120 x 1440 resolution HELL YEAH! I am also considering a larger 65” 4K OLED Smart TV as an alternative. Thanks for creating this video 👍🏻
Well you asked for it, so here it is :)
Yes ultrawides look nice, but keep in mind that a 2x27" Dual-Monitor Setup has a lot more screen real estate than an 34" Ultrawide (assuming both are 1440p)
Not a lot. A LOT. :)
Currently run a dual monitor setup. 1 27' with high refresh rate for gaming, and 1 27' high color accuracy monitor for content creation. Also very handy for keeping tabs on discord, wiki's, random youtube, chatting with friends, etc.
Even if there was an ultrawide that fit all my requirements, I think I would only be convinced to switch it is was something nuts like 4k, 144hz, oled, and just blew all other experiences out of the water.
Could you you tell which monitor you're using?
Yeah i was going to get a ultra wide monitor for productivity and gaming + ps5.. can’t find an ultrawide that supports vrr for a decent price. Might just do a dual monitor setup
Are the color profiles similar. I need a cheap one to code with my current gaming monitor?
Multitasking is better in dual monitors.
Multimedia contents are better on Ultra wide.
About Chrome, tabs might be smaller but u have another screen for running another app in full screen.
Well u can just resize the apps in ultra wide, but it still feels good on dual monitor.
Just use vertical tabs and it will be magical
@@2GreeDie Not every application supports it.
Specially esports game
@@anshulsingh8326 no, i am talking about the browser having vertical tabs for tab holders because you mentioned tabs might be smaller
Very nice video & video quality!
While looking around for an ultrawide that does all the things I want it to, I came to the conclusion that that doesn't exist yet... So I am now split between a dual 16:9 setup that does have all the specs I want or waiting for an ultrawide to come to market. Although not being able to buy a graphics card upgrade at the moment is making the choice easy since my current card wouldn't run smoothly on 1440p anyway...
Very informative video. I just bought an ultrawide to replace two monitors, and it's an improvement in some situations, and annoying in others.
Cheers! Yeah for sure, it's tempting to have a second monitor anyway but then I'd need an even bigger desk
Can you please list the pros and cons?
@@OmoruyiOmofonmwan
Cons:
Many apps don't support ultrawide very well.
The amount of curve may not be to your liking. (I wish mine was more curved)
Too big to transport safely.
Pros:
First person games look very good.
@@MattRoszak Seems to be more cons than pros. Haha. So should I just get multiple monitors then?
@@OmoruyiOmofonmwan In most cases, probably.
As an artist/coder/designer I would be lost without my dual 16:10 IPS screens. I can run Visual Studio on monitor1 and I can run Photoshop on monitor 2 with my Wacom A5 tablet mapped to monitor 2 as well. That means my tablet still matches the aspect ratio of a single monitor, which avoids inconsistent X, Y scaling.
When I used to mod games like GTAV, I would run the game and Visual Studio on monitor 1, leaving monitor 2 for browser, reference docs, 3DS Max or Photoshop... or a combination of those 4. I also use edge-snap a lot, so it's nice having 4 edges to snap things to. I started using dual-screens in the 90's and I'm happy to stay with that setup.
If my PC was a pure gaming machine, then I would probably have an ultrawide (or triple screen) but it has always been a development PC first and foremost.
dual monitor all the way especially if u have a teacher who uses those annoying browser locked screens for tests. One for the teacher to think ur not cheating and another to cheat with that they wont be able to monitor :)
Haha, that is not a use case I considered :)
I haven’t thought about this thank you
the lockdown browser covers both screens
@@korruption2802 if you have a laptop, just link it to one of the monitors
Why is there so little blink, kinda creepy lol. But good video, helped a lot!
Haha probably too focused on not messing up my lines, cheers!
Very good comparison! (and production, new sub here)
I've been looking into ultrawides for about 2 yrs now. I've been using dual monitors for about 15yrs. The advent of curved ultrawides got me interested. But... I've been waiting on certain things to happen. 1) Gsync. I like it or freesync. But the physical unit drove costs up. Luckily Gsync on certain models no longer requires the unit to reap most of the benefits. 2) Better panel tech and improvement. We have got that over the years but I'm still waiting on some more innovation with things like OLED and for costs to drop. 3) Cost. I've had 0 issue with spending $500 to 800 on 1440p Gsync unit monitors but I'm not interested in paying much more than double for a single ultra wide especially with the added costs of the newer tech despite it no longer having the physical Gsync unit anymore. 4) Screen splitting. There are tons of software options now. And you can even run monitors as 2 separate ones with another cable if the monitor supports it. But it's a curved display. I'd want to be able (at least in a fair bit of games) to have the game playing in the center with 16:9 and have 2 smaller vertical ones flanking it. You can do this but I also want the ability to Fullscreen it. It seems like some software will be able to do this shortly. Funny thing is when all this stuff happens and I finally get an ultra (or super ultra) wide, I'll still probably end up using on of my current monitors as a true second monitor anyway.... I'm too used to it. But I'll probably just use it in portrait mode.
would be great to cover how to effectively section up your ultrawide so it carries the main advantage of seperete monitors: its easy to organise your windows
Why not both? 🤷♂️
I work as a software developer and I have a 38" ultra wide monitor as my primary monitor and then a 34" ultra wide on top with a monitor arm. I also have my 16" MacBook screen on the side. The things I'm actively working with are always on the primary monitor. On the top monitor I can have a video, some documentation or todo-lists. On the laptop screen I have Slack. For me that works very well and I really like the screen real estate.
I would like to see this setup.
I made up my mind we are going ultrawide baby
Thank you sir
Nice one, enjoy!
I have always used dual monitors (in the beginning it was only the Laptop till I move out). I just recently change my second monitor into a curved one (24 zoll) after my main monitor broke years ago, I changed it to a 28-30 Zoll monitor. Two curved monitor just looks nice in terms of aesthetic. I could go for the same size but I wanted to save up a little bit. It was quite affordable for a curved monitor with a decent size.
Usually, I game on the main monitor in full screen. The second monitor it kinda depends watching video or chatting, if not gaming.
My graphic tablet is my third screen. Thanks to the setting, it's also perfect for reading mangas.
I tried the ultra wide and hated it. I prefer dual monitors. Actually I REALLY prefer a docked laptop with 2 monitors. I keep my communication apps open on the laptop screen and use the 2 big monitors for my productivity tools.
This is how my setup is in office and I’m the weirdo who uses my laptop keyboard with a mouse on the side and to me it’s perfecttt
I personally use a CRT as a second monitor. It's extremely cheap (got my current one for free), supports reasonable resolutions and refresh rates (1600x1200@85Hz atm) and movies, TV shows and your video often look amazing on it.
Is this a joke.. Right
@@francocolomba nope, high-end PC CRT's will actually do these kind of resolutions and refresh rates and you can still find them for very cheap. Plus they have very deep blacks in the right conditions making them great for content consumption, with only a few exceptions (for exemple shows that are very dark, like batman movies, will be almost unwatchable because of CRT's relatively low dynamic range).
CRT's are basically oled, but take up more space and are more flexible in terms of resolution, refresh rate and latency (they can have badically no latency if your GPU supports pure analog VGA, most newer GPU don't support it or convert from DP to VGA, which adds latency.)
I am having difficulty deciding between dual monitors or a single wide monitor. I love multi tasking, playing a game while having RUclips in the background and typically tab between RUclips, other pages for research and Word for writing / note taking. Doing this really fulfills my ADHD nicely.
Very good video. brought it to the point.
I use mine 3 screens for Gaming...one for front and two for sides...
dual monitors will always be more versitile than one wide monitor. Dual monitor can be stacked up unto each other, you can make the other one vertical for specific purposes and a lot more.
I think an ultra wide with a vertical is the best way to go.
Both. 3440x1440 144hz ultrawide as main and a vertical 1080p monitor for everything else. :)
I got a 34" Gigabyte G34WQC for 379 that I have been extremely happy with for the price.
Why so little subs, I thought you have 1 mil cause of content, video, thumbnail quality
Cheers! The algorithm hasn't swung in my favor yet haha
Great review. I just upgraded my 34 21:9 inch to a 38 inch 21:10 monitor which is on an arm. The extra height on the 38 helps. I also have a tilted 24 inch monitor at around 45 degrees right under my 38 inch monitor. Not the greatest since space is limit but it works since I made sure to get a deep desk 36 inches deep and 52 inches wide.
Awesome! I would love a 38 but they're too pricey for me at the minute.
Nice, I really wanted a 38 inch version, but LG's 34 GP83A was already expensive, despite the sale I got it on ($800 Cdn).
My next purchase in a few years will def be 38. By then I'm sure HDR will be improved and local dimming will be a regular thing on most monitors.
IPS is still tje way to go, but hopefully contrast ratios can be improved, or a new panel will emerge. Gaming/response is incredible on it, but movies are pretty meh.
Im so confused about your ethnicity
Me too haha. Hungarian parents, born & raised London, now living in Sweden.
@@Revolve-Studios bruh
im gonna get a 34inch as my main and a 27 inch in vertical as my second
Ok, so dual ultra wide monitors then...
My favorite game ever is Rimworld. A good portion of the gameplay is spent on menus and the UI itself has a lot of info especially with lots of mods. In this case, an ultrawide would be considerably better since you can have more menus open without blocking your view.
Dual 4k 43" monitors for me, Ultra-wide is too short top to bottom.
Dont listen to this guy about the cost of a monitor arm. Just check how much weight a specific monitor arm can handle. Then buy accordingly. Wont cost you more than 60 for a monitor arm that works perfectly fine.
Let me clarify, if you want an adjustable arm it'll cost you more. I did as you say, looked up the max weight capacity and according to their specs it should've been fine but it couldn't handle it. I may have gotten unlucky though.
How about a dual setup, one ultrawide and one regular
I don't agree with the competitive point, because we react faster to things appearing out of the focus part of the vision. We need to think before act when the things run on front of our eyes, but when it appears on the sides, we just move by reflex, so the reaction time is really shorter
its mainly that most devs design game ui intended for normal displays and an ultra wide causes you to have giants gaps between important indicators on opposing sides of the screen
Thank you for the great review. I have order the new Studio Display, but
right now I still use my 27" iMac with a 5K Retina display and a 2nd
monitor of Iiyama, also a 5k 27" monitor. But I'm wondering of a
Widescreen like for Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo Mini LED or Samsung Odyssey
G9 QLED won't be a better choice instead of two seperated monitors?
Thank you already for your time
I don't game, but I like having multiple programs on my screen. What's a better option?
if you already have a 16:9 moniter what shall be 2nd one ?
I just bought a Samsung G9 ultrawide but wondering if I should send it back and just get dual monitors. I'm not gaming, but would like less clutter for all of my needs (browsing, trading, and video editing).
Problem with dual monitors in my experience is that they are nice if you got lots of shit running that you might want for references etc, like a word document open as you edit something in InDesign.
But you can already do this with ultrawide even in Windows Vista. If you are casual user, dual monitors are mostly used for having stuff like Steam chat, web browser or Discord open while you play your game on main monitor, but if your game does not support borderless which is A LOT of games out there, you basically have to minimise the game to change something in the browser or your discord, some games crashes when you minimise because they are just that poorly designed. And again if you run borderless mode, you sacrifice performance, for some people it could mean 5 fps which would mean you go from stable 30 fps to 25 which is no bueno.
Most ultrawides allow you to just crop the sides of the monitor if you go fullscreen in 16:9 mode in the game, there different scaling methods inside the monitor settings most of the time.
But really, dual monitor setup has quirks and ultra wide has quirks too but its just one monitor and its far more versatile than dual monitors, considering these days ultra wides are like 200 euros for a high refresh rate one, I am starting to think it just makes no sense going for dual monitor anymore because at the end of the day if you are going to do work, ultra wide gets the job done, but if you game and you run borderless you can still just lock your game to half the screen and have your discord on the other halve, so effectively you still have the same setup except its in one screen.
Maybe ultrawide would be better than dual setup if you can also easily share your screen (I meant specific split screen) for Zoom meetings without installing any softwares to do so. Let's consider those who have company-provided PC that you would like to connect to personal monitor. Even if you buy LG ultrawide with onscreen software, it would be useless with company provided computers since the IT would prohibit you from installing or uninstalling softwares which means you could only use windows snap. At least with dual monitors, multitasking and sharing one screen for presentation during meeting is easier.
such a good video.
A nice mixture of pros and cons thus it helped me a lot with my own decision between those options.
Thanks for this informative video 👍 I would loved though to get some insights on the picture in picture feature.
I got my first ultrawide a year and a half ago and will never go back. Movies and games look gorgeous. More of an immersive feel. Mine has a slight curve, not the more hefty curve of the Odyssey. When I checked out a heavy curve (sorry don't know the official terms) I found it too annoying at the edges of the screen, slightly disorienting. Kept my old monitor to use as a second but don't think I've turned it on in over six months.
I play primarly newer games but now and then load an older game from my Steam library. So far they have all run fine. I don't play any fps games though.
hey bro, now what do you use for work?
good point that most movies are shot in 21:9 ratio, now I undertand why the top and bottom black bars are shown on my 16:9 monitor and tv when playin a movie in "full screen" without distortion
Great video, this was exactly the type of comparison I was looking for!
I want an Ultrawide, but i can't work with just 1440p or 1600p. So the 5K|2k seems like the solution to it, but they are still expensive. I will wait for a year or 2.
0:12 Dual screens for work, Ultrawide for gaming.
One thing I don't like about ultrawide is that it's too big to run just one program. Even if you make the window small, I'd rather not look at such a big display when there's no need to
Great explanation 👍
Everything works as you said until you open a steam game then the 2nd monitor goes to no signal and picture is only on 1 screen. Then when you exit the game it goes back to ultra wide. Smh completely pointless. I wonder if is a steam setting or something
Could you make a version of this video for productivity users over gamers?
Good idea! I am planning on a video comparing different monitor panels (IPS, TN & VA) where I will focus more on productivity. I think for productivity it depends on what that means for you. If you need to read a lot, the extra vertical resolution you can get from a 16:9 display is handy, whilst if you're editing videos or producing music you may appreciate the extra width with the ultra-wide.
@@Revolve-Studios The definition of productivity for me is odd. I do read a lot of articles as part of my work, but I also have many tabs or applications open, some of which require horizontal scrolling. So I'm finding 21:9 AR the middle ground between 16:9 and 32:9, but I may add one vertical monitor. Idk. Point is, you make a valid point. Productivity is different for everyone. Looking forward to that video though!
i have 8 monitors, my life is a mess
Am using the ASUS VG27AQ paired with a AOC C27G2Z. I switch between these two depending on what type of game I am playing. The VG27AQ for not so competitive games(story games, laid back games, and etc.), and then the C27G2Z for competitive games (mostly shooters)
Could you tell me the difference between the two monitors and why you chose to play a certain game over the other? Thanks
For me personally I run an UW and a normal 16:9 monitor, because especially in slower games i love to have some show or youtube video on, on the side. Which means LOADS of screenspace, but also more space taken by monitors. But honestly that seems to be the best setup, because you can play on the 16:9 in games that are better fitted for it and still can simultaneously watch shows
movies are NOT shot in 21:9 unless theyre anamorphic 💀
2:34 I have just ordered and received exactly that product. Is it really that bad? Dont have ordered new 27 inch monitors yet though.
It's nice to be longer, but Curved Monitors are rubbish and can't be applied to the design at all.
I progressed from 2 x 24" 1080 dual setup to an ultrawide 34" 1440P + 15.6" 1080 laptop screen setup for work. I'm a 'sometime' gamer. My experience is if you're into gaming 2 x 1080p monitors might be the way go. Ultrawide 1440P requires a powerful/expensive GPU which I'm not prepared to buy. Lots of older games that I still like e.g. Crysis--don't do 1440p. I've tried 1080p gaming (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650) on the ultrawide. The visible desktop bordering the 1080p gaming window makes for an ok but not as immersive as I'd like it to be gaming experience. But I bought an ultrawide for work reasons so, that's ok.
I currently have 2 x monitors, but have just picked up a 34" curved Samsung monitor. I am hoping I have made a good decision. We'll see in the next week or two.
If I can have two displays on the bigger screen without dramas then I'll be chuffed.
How did it go? How was your experience this month going from 2 monitors to 1 ultra wide?
@@manumoroncini3939 Yeah they will always post half the story and then the vital part of the story is missing. LOL makes no sense to even post the first part, just a waste of time.
Post a response, coward
Great information. Very much on point. Unlike tons of superficial covers by other RUclipsrs.
what if you use picture by picture mode, and make it so that its 2 monitors. does the performance take a hit when you minimize the game to change the the other window?
No performance issues but takes a toll on the ratio
I have always used dual 27" monitors but my new employer gave me a laptop with a USB C that doesn't support video. I just received my Samsung 32" M8 UHD/4K Smart Monitor. Will never go back to two monitors again. Getting used to using the snap-to function to organize my display and has plenty of room to read one document will typing on another.
Question: I see others have touched on the same topic but wrt gaming, have you had any experience using Display Fusion and setting up virtual screen (VS) so that the game runs in the center most VS in 16:9?
Very helpfull, I hv laptop Acer Preditor i 7 10th gen,32 gb ram, 1tb Ssd & hdd, RTX 3060 bought for upto 4k video editing on premier pro, so asking you and fellow editors who can please clarify - suggest which monitors i need to have ? l'am thinking to buy both, one 29 inches ultra wide 25xx by 1080 for larger view of premier pro and also one 27 inches 4k 16.9 monitor for colour grading? Any other combination or the same can be done with one monitor (34 inches ultra wide but it's not 4k) ? Looking solution not on too higher side for the price. Please suggest. Thx
why not just get both :) double screen and having the ultrawide on top
Zgo tech monitor arm are only $100 and I have a msi ultrawide 34’. The arm holds it very well! Worth the money
Will it work in a dual monitor setup? (One smaller monitor stacked on top of the curved)
@@RighteousSword6 depends on the monitor size, usually with stack monitor, the arms will have to be on a pole, which these companies don’t sell a pole version of their monitor arm. My is still holding well on my 34 ultrawide
So you dont even have the 2 27in to show us the comparison... Weak dude
how does FancyZones influence playing that SKyrim in the middle of the screen while having, say, 2 more windows popped on the left and right side of the main gaming window? would it also work for WoW/ SC2? informative clip, thx!
how does ultrawide works when you have to share/present your desktop? does it present just one thing of your whole desktop?
Actually I've had problems with this, at least through MS Teams, when sharing your screen or even a window (if it's fullscreen e.g. Powerpoint) it will share the black bars on the left & right sides.
That’s a really good point.. one I’d not thought about until you mentioned it! Would be good if teams had a mode to capture an area of the screen, not the full screen or an app.
why not just get a spectre 49" super ultrawide that can be 2 27" 1440p screens i just bought it not saying go out and buy it but it seems to be a good find. but im cheaping out right now. i cant live without an ultrawide now.. but i wasent going to get the same ultrawide i had.
I have 2x 24" curved Philips monitors connected to my 16gB RAM Mac mini M1 - it is beautiful
Just make the screen for gaming smaller and fill the rest with your browser or something else.... Love my Samsung g9.

Dual is better for work. Ultrawide is great for games
This rebrand seems extreme, but I suppose you’re stressed. Good luck with your divorce and NotGayJared.
One large 43 inch monitor is cheaper than two monitors side by side.
3x 32" monitors. Trying to find a better solution
I need a wide monitor/dual monitor so I can play split screen co-op Lego games with my buddies and girlfriend, it's hard to see the screen when we have to share it vertically split.
I will share one more opinion on this.. with dual monitor setup you can continue working on personal things on one monitor and only share the one which has your code or professional work running. The other is completely out of view.. and you are still sharing your entire monitor... I typically have one personal chrome profile and my whatsapp which sits on one monitor and my work google chrome profile open on another monitor and i make it a point to share entire screen with only the professional google chrome profile.
dual setup is cheaper than one ultra-wide now.
Some ultrawides can be used as two displays - so basically a dual screen setup. This could fix some of the gaming issues while still giving you the option to have the advantages in productivity
@Meiariscando It is called "Picture by Picture" (PBP). You turn it on, connect the 2 cables you would connect to different monitors both to the ultrawide, so you have 2 cables going from your laptop to an ultrawide and you can use it as 2 monitors.
@Meiariscando I think i remember the LG ones having that. They give a you a spl LG monitor manager software also to install on your system. And that gives you a lot of shortcuts and productivity modes...like you could instantly split into 4 monitors (divided into 4 portions basically). I guess thats ideal for these stock market traders etc.
@Meiariscando Just look for an ultrawide monitor with "Picture by Picture". Sample would be LG 34WP85CN (2022 model).
I use 3 Monitors:
2 ultrawides + 1 full hd
all from LG, still considering to add another ultrawide here because i still notice i do ran out of spaces and happens to do alot of Alt + Tab when doing my work.
What is my benchmark whether i need another monitor or not? how many alt tab per minute. If in average i have to do 0.1 alt tab per minute, i will start to consider adding new monitor, having more than 1 alt tab per minute, i already decide to buy a new one
Wow, that is a lot of screen real estate :)
great video, could someone assist me in splitting an ultrawide screen monitor into sections, that i can actually MAXimize ? using windows 7. AGON ultra wide screen. the software included just makes a green grid but can not maximize in it .
I like having one gaming spec monitor and one that is better for reading and coding. Ive actually been considering adding a third monitor that is an E-paper one just to be extra nice on my eyes when i have to read a ton
Where are the monitors from and what are they called
Using an 2k res ultrawide 29 inches for my main, second is 1050 x 1680 22 Inch
How about triple screen vs ultrawide?
Double screen places the bezels in the middle of your view area if you are playing most games.
I finally decided against the ultrawides and went with 3 28" instead, love them
Next to Skyrim also Ms. Packman looks awful on an ultrawide screen - seriously dude?
i know this is an old video but thank you
