I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?

    32:9

    You cannot go back after trying it :D. Ultrawide screen for life. (i’ve been a 29 ultra wide + 24" user. Then I changed for a standalone ultrawide 34". Since december I changed for a standalone ultrawide 49". And it’s like a dream for me.)

      I did! Used to have a Samsung 49" ultrawide. After using it for a couple of years, I sold it and got a 16:10 32" QHD, which I found worked better for me (+ one or two laptop screens for chat / random stuff when I’m doing serious work).

      The biggest issue I had with the ultrawide is that most of the games that I played weren’t optimised for it, especially in some games where things like the mini-map might be at the far end of the screen, or worse, if it was an older game then you’d have to put up with black bars, or play the game in windowed mode.
