I have a two monitor set up going right now hooked up to a dual display KVM switch. Sadly, a recent power outage has caused some finicky behavior in either my KVM or my secondary monitor, since it comes in and out. Will get around to debugging my setup once I have some time this holiday season, but I was also debating on switching to a single ultrawide monitor setup. I’m a software engineer by trade, and I get the most use out of the second monitor while working. However, when I’m doing literally anything else, the second monitor just tends to be Spotify, discord, or some background video or podcast.
What’s your preference? Anyone switch from one to the other? How do you use your setup?
I am a dev also, and I switched to ultrawides 4-5 years ago. Basically with larger monitor you automatically stop running things full screen/maximized, which I have used to do with 16:10/16:9/4:3 screens.
Also having ~3/4 of the width of desktop to IDE and 1/4 to browser when doing web dev is awesome.
