Comment on Ask HN: Ultrawide vs. Dual Monitors

Comments

I've used both, and I prefer using multiple monitors over the ultrawides. I've found that multiple monitors gives me much more flexibility, as I can orient them in a manner that's most conducive to the task at hand (for instance, being able to aim one monitor towards visitors to show them things).

But, honestly, my preference is a slight one -- if I have to use an ultrawide instead, that's actually fine.

I use both,and i find that both setups have their advantages depending on the intended use, i use an ultrawide in my home studio for music production and video editing, this is great because i can see a long horizontal timeline. At work instead i use 2x24in to view datasheets and schematics side by side.

This might be the way I go...

Cool, thanks! I'm actually still keeping my dual monitor setup at work and similar to you, at times I move the mount so I can show co-workers some code or UI.

I'm looking to update my setup at home to maximize productivity. Interesting points you brought up!
