  • Ladies & gents hope you’re well.
    So over the years I’ve tried various screen setups, from a single monitor, to dual monitors, to a TV for a monitor, and right now I’m using a single 34 inch ultrawide monitor.
    So today we’re gonna compare a dual monitor setup to a single ultrawide and this will hopefully help you to figure out what’s the best choice for you. Comment down below what monitor or monitors you’re using.
    Thank you guys so much watching as always, if you enjoyed the video please don’t forget to smash like, subscribe if you haven’t already and I’ll see you next time.

    In case you are into coding, having two screens also comes with the benefit that you could turn one by 90 degrees. Which is convenient to display more limes of code vertically. Or also in case you extensively use the command line.

      @@sunset6958 I personally prefer a three screen setup with one screen turned by 90 degrees. For the reasons given my comment. Maybe it could also be a widescreen and a second turned one.
      But finally for me it totally boils down to personal preference and what you use the screen for.
      For video editing or if you use a daw for example I guess the wide screen might be the better solution.

      I like my 21:9 for design with a second 16:9 (16:10 preferably) monitor for testing how it looks to most. I dont code too much, but I guess I could make it vertical for when I do, I never thought of that, tha ks for mentioning it.
      I just love the horizontal real estate for design, or video editing. I can display so many more tools easier. They always got in the way.

    I’ve had ultra wides and dual monitor setups. It depends what you want to do. I don’t game and use my computer for productivity which is why I prefer dual 32 inch 4k monitor setup. It provides more real estate for all my applications and spreadsheets without having them to stack on top each other.

    Very nice video & video quality!
    While looking around for an ultrawide that does all the things I want it to, I came to the conclusion that that doesn't exist yet... So I am now split between a dual 16:9 setup that does have all the specs I want or waiting for an ultrawide to come to market. Although not being able to buy a graphics card upgrade at the moment is making the choice easy since my current card wouldn't run smoothly on 1440p anyway...

    Great review. I just upgraded my 34 21:9 inch to a 38 inch 21:10 monitor which is on an arm. The extra height on the 38 helps. I also have a tilted 24 inch monitor at around 45 degrees right under my 38 inch monitor. Not the greatest since space is limit but it works since I made sure to get a deep desk 36 inches deep and 52 inches wide.

    • @Revolve-Studios

      Nice, I really wanted a 38 inch version, but LG's 34 GP83A was already expensive, despite the sale I got it on ($800 Cdn).
      My next purchase in a few years will def be 38. By then I'm sure HDR will be improved and local dimming will be a regular thing on most monitors.
      IPS is still tje way to go, but hopefully contrast ratios can be improved, or a new panel will emerge. Gaming/response is incredible on it, but movies are pretty meh.

    Currently run a dual monitor setup. 1 27' with high refresh rate for gaming, and 1 27' high color accuracy monitor for content creation. Also very handy for keeping tabs on discord, wiki's, random youtube, chatting with friends, etc.
    Even if there was an ultrawide that fit all my requirements, I think I would only be convinced to switch it is was something nuts like 4k, 144hz, oled, and just blew all other experiences out of the water.

    I have always used dual monitors (in the beginning it was only the Laptop till I move out). I just recently change my second monitor into a curved one (24 zoll) after my main monitor broke years ago, I changed it to a 28-30 Zoll monitor. Two curved monitor just looks nice in terms of aesthetic. I could go for the same size but I wanted to save up a little bit. It was quite affordable for a curved monitor with a decent size.
    Usually, I game on the main monitor in full screen. The second monitor it kinda depends watching video or chatting, if not gaming.
    My graphic tablet is my third screen. Thanks to the setting, it's also perfect for reading mangas.

    For me personally I run an UW and a normal 16:9 monitor, because especially in slower games i love to have some show or youtube video on, on the side. Which means LOADS of screenspace, but also more space taken by monitors. But honestly that seems to be the best setup, because you can play on the 16:9 in games that are better fitted for it and still can simultaneously watch shows

    @death-by-ego 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I've been looking into ultrawides for about 2 yrs now. I've been using dual monitors for about 15yrs. The advent of curved ultrawides got me interested. But... I've been waiting on certain things to happen. 1) Gsync. I like it or freesync. But the physical unit drove costs up. Luckily Gsync on certain models no longer requires the unit to reap most of the benefits. 2) Better panel tech and improvement. We have got that over the years but I'm still waiting on some more innovation with things like OLED and for costs to drop. 3) Cost. I've had 0 issue with spending $500 to 800 on 1440p Gsync unit monitors but I'm not interested in paying much more than double for a single ultra wide especially with the added costs of the newer tech despite it no longer having the physical Gsync unit anymore. 4) Screen splitting. There are tons of software options now. And you can even run monitors as 2 separate ones with another cable if the monitor supports it. But it's a curved display. I'd want to be able (at least in a fair bit of games) to have the game playing in the center with 16:9 and have 2 smaller vertical ones flanking it. You can do this but I also want the ability to Fullscreen it. It seems like some software will be able to do this shortly. Funny thing is when all this stuff happens and I finally get an ultra (or super ultra) wide, I'll still probably end up using on of my current monitors as a true second monitor anyway.... I'm too used to it. But I'll probably just use it in portrait mode.

      I use two 27" WQHD monitors. One up front and on at the side because I do not use each monitor 50% of the time, but maybe 75% and 25%, so it helps that my head needs to move less. With one 49" monitor you are pretty much stuck to have it centered. Definitely something to consider.

    I've just recently sold off my old 21:9 monitor in which I bought back in 2017 coming from my old Dell 30" 16:10 monitor from 2010 maybe. Specs were fairly good, and maybe even the best you could get at that time with up to 100Hz refresh, decent blacks etc. What I never got used to was when 21:9 games stretched the view to fit the screen like you showed in your video, seems that at that point you just as well could have had a 16:9 monitor. While my display were fairly good I still had some uniformity problems which is fairly common for curved UW monitors. And coming from an excellent monitor like the Dell with truly good colour accuracy for the time, I really did not like the uniformity problems and the lesser colour accuracy, combined with the small vertical space. I have now gone and bought a 32" 16:9 monitor, will most likely never ever go back to UW again, love the colour accuracy, the uniformity, the non curved screen, great black levels and the higher vertical space. I use this as my main monitor, and a 27" monitor for extra content, even considering try to use my really old Dell 30" as screen number 2.

    I have a 34" LG 1440p monitor as my main, and a 27" DELL 1440p as the secondary (having the same vertical resolution on both is important). They are also physically the same vertical size so it's not visually jarring.
    I use them for work and gaming. Both equally for the former, and the Dell as a secondary screen for Discord, Web etc when playing games on the LG.
    I have a notion of changing to the 49" Samsung Odyssey, but I actually think that I'd miss the secondary display so would probably try and keep it in place somehow

    As an artist/coder/designer I would be lost without my dual 16:10 IPS screens. I can run Visual Studio on monitor1 and I can run Photoshop on monitor 2 with my Wacom A5 tablet mapped to monitor 2 as well. That means my tablet still matches the aspect ratio of a single monitor, which avoids inconsistent X, Y scaling.
    When I used to mod games like GTAV, I would run the game and Visual Studio on monitor 1, leaving monitor 2 for browser, reference docs, 3DS Max or Photoshop... or a combination of those 4. I also use edge-snap a lot, so it's nice having 4 edges to snap things to. I started using dual-screens in the 90's and I'm happy to stay with that setup.
    If my PC was a pure gaming machine, then I would probably have an ultrawide (or triple screen) but it has always been a development PC first and foremost.

    I got my first ultrawide a year and a half ago and will never go back. Movies and games look gorgeous. More of an immersive feel. Mine has a slight curve, not the more hefty curve of the Odyssey. When I checked out a heavy curve (sorry don't know the official terms) I found it too annoying at the edges of the screen, slightly disorienting. Kept my old monitor to use as a second but don't think I've turned it on in over six months.
    I play primarly newer games but now and then load an older game from my Steam library. So far they have all run fine. I don't play any fps games though.

    Some ultra-wide monitors have multiple inputs so they can act like discrete monitors if you want to have something on the side while you play a game in full screen. Would that not work? Maybe you could use a KVM as a quick disconnect in case you want to toggle modes.

    I progressed from 2 x 24" 1080 dual setup to an ultrawide 34" 1440P + 15.6" 1080 laptop screen setup for work. I'm a 'sometime' gamer. My experience is if you're into gaming 2 x 1080p monitors might be the way go. Ultrawide 1440P requires a powerful/expensive GPU which I'm not prepared to buy. Lots of older games that I still like e.g. Crysis--don't do 1440p. I've tried 1080p gaming (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650) on the ultrawide. The visible desktop bordering the 1080p gaming window makes for an ok but not as immersive as I'd like it to be gaming experience. But I bought an ultrawide for work reasons so, that's ok.

    I am using a dual monitor today and although it is fine, I am looking to change things up. I would love to cut the visual noise because even though I do like having my screens separated the cables being more abundant and having the bezel in the middle really is starting to get on my nerves and the most I do with my dual monitor setup is actually do my workouts using my main monitor and the second monitor I got twitch up so I can watch my friends stream in the mornings but I'd love to have a more immersed experience when I do game especially now that I got a steam deck and a deck that the plan is to use it to play games with my niece when she is a little older kind of an at home arcade deal so I'm not sure whether to go for an ultrawide or keep my dual monitors

    Great, informative video - quick question! I edit on two monitors. One is my full 'editing' screen and the other a full screen monitor of the video (I use Vegus like you - I can't beleive people still use DaVinci/Premier when Vegus is by far the easiest, quickest and most intuitive!) So my question is, can I buy a large widescreen monitor and have is split to 'editing area' on one side and 'monitor area' on the other? Would it still need two HDMI inputs from my PC to 'trick' it?
    Thanks for your help!

    To everyone, just be aware that if you move from Curve monitor to Flat monitor, you will face one issue. Edges of flat screen will feel away while the center would seem bulging. It will feel as convex lens. Really annoying. And might feel weird and have strange feelings looking at the monitor. If you plan to have curved at work and at home then it might be ok. but moving back and forth from curve to flat might cause eye strain and feel strange. I have 34 inch curved and I wish I could go back to flat. And at 34 inch size curve is not worth it. It might be useful when you go ultrawide >38 inch and above. Otherwise say away from curve. And curve is going to cost more than flat in most cases.

    I don't agree with the competitive point, because we react faster to things appearing out of the focus part of the vision. We need to think before act when the things run on front of our eyes, but when it appears on the sides, we just move by reflex, so the reaction time is really shorter

      @Meiariscando It is called "Picture by Picture" (PBP). You turn it on, connect the 2 cables you would connect to different monitors both to the ultrawide, so you have 2 cables going from your laptop to an ultrawide and you can use it as 2 monitors.

      @Meiariscando I think i remember the LG ones having that. They give a you a spl LG monitor manager software also to install on your system.

I guess thats ideal for these stock market traders etc.

      @@francocolomba nope, high-end PC CRT's will actually do these kind of resolutions and refresh rates and you can still find them for very cheap. Plus they have very deep blacks in the right conditions making them great for content consumption, with only a few exceptions (for exemple shows that are very dark, like batman movies, will be almost unwatchable because of CRT's relatively low dynamic range).
      CRT's are basically oled, but take up more space and are more flexible in terms of resolution, refresh rate and latency (they can have badically no latency if your GPU supports pure analog VGA, most newer GPU don't support it or convert from DP to VGA, which adds latency.)

    Problem with dual monitors in my experience is that they are nice if you got lots of shit running that you might want for references etc, like a word document open as you edit something in InDesign.
    But you can already do this with ultrawide even in Windows Vista. If you are casual user, dual monitors are mostly used for having stuff like Steam chat, web browser or Discord open while you play your game on main monitor, but if your game does not support borderless which is A LOT of games out there, you basically have to minimise the game to change something in the browser or your discord, some games crashes when you minimise because they are just that poorly designed. And again if you run borderless mode, you sacrifice performance, for some people it could mean 5 fps which would mean you go from stable 30 fps to 25 which is no bueno.
    Most ultrawides allow you to just crop the sides of the monitor if you go fullscreen in 16:9 mode in the game, there different scaling methods inside the monitor settings most of the time.
    But really, dual monitor setup has quirks and ultra wide has quirks too but its just one monitor and its far more versatile than dual monitors, considering these days ultra wides are like 200 euros for a high refresh rate one, I am starting to think it just makes no sense going for dual monitor anymore because at the end of the day if you are going to do work, ultra wide gets the job done, but if you game and you run borderless you can still just lock your game to half the screen and have your discord on the other halve, so effectively you still have the same setup except its in one screen.

    • @dianneT
      @dianneT ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe ultrawide would be better than dual setup if you can also easily share your screen (I meant specific split screen) for Zoom meetings without installing any softwares to do so. Let's consider those who have company-provided PC that you would like to connect to personal monitor. Even if you buy LG ultrawide with onscreen software, it would be useless with company provided computers since the IT would prohibit you from installing or uninstalling softwares which means you could only use windows snap. At least with dual monitors, multitasking and sharing one screen for presentation during meeting is easier.
