    Two monitors suck, don’t fall for it. Traded out my 24" & 27" setup for a single 32" and loving it

      The key is triple monitors so you don’t have a bezel in the middle of your field of view.

        bezel in the middle of your field of view

        One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.

        Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).

        Triple monitors. Highest quality in the center. One off to the side for videos/discord/other side programs. One off to the side mounted vertically for reading documents and web pages.

          I had the goofiest setup years ago… It was a single 16:9 1080p in the middle, with two 4:3 (1024x768?) monitors rotated. The sizes were just right so the pixel density was the same, and the sides only had a little bit of overscan when joined to imitate an ultrawide.___

          I’m more a fan of identical triple monitors and keeping them all in the same orientation (all vertical for doing a lot of programming; all horizontal for everything else), but that might just be my perfectionism coming through.

      Got a curved 45" ultrawide. It’s one of the highlights of my day sitting in front that thing.

      Still, dual monitors can be useful for sure. It may look ‘messy’, but definitely functional.
