Dual monitors are so 2000’s. It’s all about the single large ultra-wide monitor now. You get the benefits of a dual monitor setup without the line in the middle and the RSI neck pain issues.
Yep and in Windows 11 you now have premade window placements so if you hover the maximise button you can select e.g. “right hand, one third width” and another program for “left hand, two thirds width” etc. I use it all the time. I do have a second monitor on top of the ultra wide but mainly because it’s a special colour accurate monitor, for productivity I was doing fine with just the one big UW for years.
I bought an ultra wide at the beginning of COVID and when I started my new job, my employer gave me another one. Now I have two side by side (the newer one is in the middle) and my laptop to the side. Sometimes I struggle to open enough applications to fill all that space.
Had this happen but I wasn’t the only one; one lonely soul before me had the same issue and never got a solution. In the end it stayed unsolved and I just used a workaround.
