Dual Monitor vs Ultrawide Monitor

- The age-old question is should you use a Dual Monitor Desk Setup or an Ultrawide Setup? I used to be a diehard dual monitor fan but since switching to an Ultrawide it's changed my whole perspective on everything. Let me share with you my thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of dual monitors or ultra wide monitors!

#dualmonitor #ultrawidemonitor - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.76[2/2] เดินมาสิบกว่าป่า วันนี้รู้แล้วว่าโจโฉกลัวอะไร!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/R7Yor-t2Au0/mqdefault.jpg)
I have a 43" UW monitor with a curvature of 1800R (fairly aggressive curve) and I've never had any issues with lines. It's hard to explain but the curvature doesn't distort things the way people may think it would. I too was a dual monitor guy for years and switched to the UW 3 years ago, would never go back!
1800R is a gentle curve
I have 1000R
I really love my PD3200Q and 2700Q from BenQ. I use the 27" almost always in vertical, it's big enough and a joy to browse through my pictures this way.
Cool vid, thanks for all the info! Your photography skills - blazing!!
Sold my 2 24" to get me one 34" ultrawide. This is by far one of the best purchases I've made. I dont think ill go back to 24-32" monitors ever.
Shoutout to the white ikea Alex drawers. Liking the clean setup
Good video. I have two 27 inch monitors for productivity but really want an ultra wide screen due to cable management and desk space. I'd say price could be a difference w pros and cons for each depending on resolution and features but overall good points presented. Thank you
Thank you, this convinced me that dual screen is better for me 😅 Ultrawide must be wonderful for graphics and video editors, music producers etc., but for someone who spends most time programming and having Teams meeting, dual screen wins hands down.
Glad I could help
Nice video, but as others have mentioned, the curve doesn't affect anything in the way you think it would. I'm a graphic designer and never noticed any distortion with lines. The only down side is when you use a normal monitor again it will look really weird until you adjust. I initially purchased an ultra wide thinking I wouldn't need a secondary panel but I still ended up using a 27" in portrait for the overflow or reference material.
Thanks for the vid I was looking for a comparison just like this, even better that it's almost the same Benq monitors I was considering. Think you've just helped make my decision 👍
I have a 16:9 43 inch monitor from LG, I love it.
It has 6 inputs 4 HDMI, 1 Displayport and 1 USB-c just for video and the screen can be divided in 2 vertical or 2 horizontal sections, or 4 sections in 2x2
so you can arrange all of these as you please with the remote control or the OSM.
these sections can be connected to the same or to different devices.
so when I tried the 2 vertical sections connected to a macbook pro when it was new like back in 2019 color was the same in both sections but now when I connect another mac, the tone is different, even for simple thing likes macos UI.
I've been running triple mknitor at work and home for last 12yrs.
Also looked at ultra wide but decided a wider (3x28" 4k) display is cheaper and larger. Center screen on rotational stand, two outside monitors on swivel arms.
Have a hutch on desk for those arms.
Hutch has metal plates each side anchoring it to sides of desk.
Many years before when I had 2 screens, one was center and second was off to the side.
To help with reducing the bezels on the triple setup I swing the 2 outside monitors in behind the center screen just enough to eliminate those 2 bezels.
How do you feel about this monitor today?
Currently working with a 27" 5K iMac and 27" 2K apple display.
I have to update my system and have an M1 MacBook Air that I'd like to use, but can't use dual displays, and am considering this monitor you mention.
I edit video for a living, and am torn between a new M1 MacBook Pro 16", or simply using the MacBook Air with the monitor you are using.
Question: Is the monitor sharp? Meaning, sharp as the iMac 5k display (text sharpness, etc...)?
This makes me want to just get a third monitor that is ultra-wide for gaming and editing
Really helpful video, thanks! I'm getting into more video editing and thought a dual 27" monitor setup would work best for my desk and my workflow... but the colour matching process was such a pain.
Useful video! Thank you!
Glad to hear you edited the majurity of your photos on that monitor.
Nice video! Can you share what monitor arm you are using with your monitor?
Which monitor do you recommend for photo editing and crisp text, maybe partial ps5 gaming? Also, are you calibrating your monitor? I'm using a MacBook Pro
So I have had both set ups. Currently I have an ultra wide monitor but recently there is some pixel damage… still useable but that light saber green line is annoying. So I was looking at another ultra wide but monitors have come so far since I bought my last one. I list daily on eBay and so I want to have a monitor that I can turn vertical to list on a vertical site. Then when not listing have it normal. Issue is finding a monitor that is full lit so I don’t see the light borders. Going to MicroCenter and Best Buy tomorrow. Any recommendations between $100-$200 would be great. Thanks
Agreed on the space with dual screens. Since that is one of the main reasons why I'm getting the AOC 34 inch 144hz screen next month. :)
Hello did you later got d AOC?
I recently just bought a dual Monitor set up.
72 inch Ultra HD Work Bench
Dual Jarvis Arms
2 27Inch 4K IPS Monitors
So I prefer the Dual set up.
Nice. I really do love those Jarvis arms. They’re amazing!
Do a video on a 4k2k ultrawide. That one would probably be great for Photo editing.
Great video enjoyed watching it and it helped me out with the struggle :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Question:
I have 56 inch SCEPTRE monitor that i have partitioned in as two monitors. Unfortunately after doing this I cannot get one of them to display anything. Can you offer any suggestions on why the output from my laptop is not being extended to the other portion of the same monitor? This is driving me nuts
Hey John! I've been bingeing your channel for a couple of weeks now - I had one kind of unrelated questions. What's your decision process when choosing which photos are black and white and how many per job? Up until seeing your vids I honestly hadn't given much thought to giving clients mono photos but now I'm second guessing myself - Thanks for such awesome and informative videos!
Hey John, I'm Just Getting To Buy A BenQ. The SW321C. The Price Is A LOT Higher Than The One You Have. I Can You Link Me The Arm That You Have For Yours? Thank You.
It’s pretty hard going back to a 16:9 after getting used to an ultrawide. Since recently getting into streaming as a hobby having a second monitor really helps. So since my space is small I have my ultrawide on a mount and have a 24 inch monitor right under the ultrawide leaning at an angle. Not the ideal setup but it really helps to have 2 screens but with the main one being the ultrawide.
would like to see that setup. have a link with a picture?
@@briceking669 I actually don’t sorry
Thoughts on the LG & Dell 40" 5k2k monitors?
Very helpfull, I hv laptop Acer Preditor 17 10th gen,32 gb ram, 1tb Ssd, RTX 3060 bought for upto 4k video editing on premier pro so asking u and fellow senior editors who can please clarify - suggest which monitors i need to have ? l'am thinking to buy both, one 29 inches ultra wide 25xx by 1080 for larger view of premier pro and also one 27 inches 4k monitor for colour grading? Any other combination or the same can be done with one monitor (34 inches ultra wide but it's not 4k) ? Please suggest. Thx
I'm in a weird place where I have a 32" monitor but because more of my work is excel and powerpoint, I almost feel like a wider monitor, even at the expense of height, likely makes more sense. Would you recommend going for a 34 UWD in this case or a second monitor?
Double ultra wide
@@willruss went with a 38 ultrawide and absolutely love it for work
I think I'm more of a dual monitor guy..... awesome video bruh!
I felt the same way for the longest time. But then I got an ultrawide and it changed my life forever.
@@jbivphotography hows the response time and refresh rate for gaming?
Can you send a link to that monitor arm you are using?
What about ultra wide, but curved displays?
Pretty sure the LG has some that aren't curved. Good video though. I prefer a dual monitor for music production to separate the plug ins and mixer.
You can use picture-in-picture mode on ultrawide to separate all your plugins and everything else. It has loads of different settings you can use to fit your requirements.
@@cun7us true, but I find it not as quick and customizable as two screens.
@@mrmaramind have you actually tried it? It's got plenty of customisations.
@@cun7us yes, yes I have. And greatly prefer my 2 24” monitors. The Picture in Picture doesn’t give give 48”s of Logic Pro across.
@@mrmaramind fair enough. I'm a Logic Pro user as well and much prefer the ultra-wide aspect. Having a large bezel in-between just doesn't work well for me, plus I get to enjoy 21:9 content. So, I guess it's down to personal preference.
Why not move one monitor to the center and other one to the side in dual monitor setup?)
I am concerned how it works with screen sharing via skype or teams. First if you share the screen most people will see the 21:9 on their 16:9 so it´s going to be small. Second you can´t work on a second monitor while sharing the first screen.
I've been using an ultrawide monitor for few weeks now and this has been one of the major drawbacks for me personally. When using only the single ultrawide monitor on Teams you can only share a window (which is basically only one application at a time) or your entire desktop which shares everything. Sharing a window has been painful as to switch between different content you need to stop sharing whatever you shared to get to share other stuff - It's not like dragging windows to a completely shared screen like in a dual monitor setup. I've been looking to solve this using applications which can split screen, however Teams doesnt seem to be able display 'half of your screen' to share whatever application you drag in there.
@@rogedacosta this confirms exactly my assumption. Are you planning to add another 16:9 screen to share content via teams? On one hand I don’t like the idea to invest into a new screen and sacrifice the nice big 21:9 because of teams for example. on the other i don’t want to invest into something new and still not have a all around useful solution for home office.
@@mvhan911 Since I use my laptop as the driver for the monitor, whenever I have to share lots of windows - say in a presentation switching between content in different applications - I would share thru my laptop's screen instead and leave my ultrawide monitor with whatever else I'm doing. If it's a single app sharing it's completely fine sharing a split screen - the issue is more annoying when needing to switch between apps int the sharing session. It's not a dealbreaker, however I must say this wasnt my original plan as I intended to only use a single ultrawide monitor. So if you work with lots of sharing over the day you may consider sticking to a dual setup instead. There's pros and cons in both setup forms, hope that helps. :)
@@rogedacosta That is a good advice I think I will consider this procedure with the laptop as an option when deciding to get a ultra wide monitor.
I am not so happy with the 27” only (or two) just because of the sharing issue.
1 huge much better but I can't decide on whether to take 32 or 34 inches (4K or 1440p)... the best is Eizo 4096x20xx but it's like 4500 euros...
dell new 5k2k is nice because its 21:9 ultrawide , 4k and height wise is abit taller than a 32inch 16:9 monitors.
Oh nice. I might have to check that out. Is if curved?
@@jbivphotography yup
Ultrawide always, LG Ultra HD 42 Zoll is great one
Agreed!
There's no way your desk is that clean 24/7
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s not. It’s usually hella dirty all the time.
I am here because my benq monitors are f ked up after year and a half :)
1) gaming on ultrawide is still not supported by the vast majority of games.
2) i think you make problems up with dual or triple screens that should not be an issue.
3) when you need color perfection thatn just focus in your main screen wich should stand right in front of you and do your color stuff there so you still can use a 2n or 3rd screen angeld < and it doesnt matter if the colors there are 100% correct.
i never saw anyone using dual screens like you in your video and being serious about it.
Can I split 4 applications in 1 ultra wide just like I would do in a dual monitor screen?
You could. You just wouldn't have as much space as you would be used to with dual monitors.
@@jbivphotography Thank you for answering the question, John. I normally press Window + arrow keys left or right to split my screen when using dual monitor. Would this option still possible on Ultra wide screens? Or it would just split the screen in two as well, and can't split in 4?
I am currently using two Dell U3415W ultrawide monitors stacked with a pretty heavy duty third party monitor arm. I tried going side by side but that was way too wide for me.
Oh yeah that sounds like it would be super wide
Hey, I want to know before buying an ultrawide, isnt text in the edges of the screen would be far, blurry like?
Im a programmer and I would love go from my 2 24" inch to a 34 flat panel but when I tried to simulate it it looked weird, like the start of my code on the left side and the folder explorer on the right side would be looking far and weird. No one addresses the edges visibility on while working...
I disagree about the curved monitors distorting images. Curve monitors provide better view for our eyes and it won't distort your images. This is because our eyes is convex so it's natural and less straining for our eyes to view curved monitors. This is something similar to wearing glasses for better view or fixing short/long sighted differences. I hope that make sense to you :)
There is some video on your ad. You are supposed to clarify if the video is an advertisement....
?? what was this an ad for ??
Which one is better for logic pro?
Personally I would say an ultra wide. I usually produce in Ableton and I LOVE having an ultra wide for that.
Wait, did you just compare 2, 32 inch monitor to 1, 34 inch monitor ultra wide and say dual is better because it has more screen estate? Hate to break it to you but isn't that obvious?
M1 Mac mini on your desk?
Yep yep. I have a custom build PC Hackintosh and also a M1 Mac Mini. I usually use the PC but bring the Mac Mini with me when I travel and other such things.
With a 21:9 screen we can’t split it with a 16:9 Windows to stream it, and get a 5:9 to get stream information
I live stream on my ultra wide all the time. It actually works out great. I just designate a section of the monitor for the actual stream and then the other section for controlling my stream. You can check out my most recent stream here to see it in action. th-cam.com/video/C9geNe9jbBQ/w-d-xo.html
Nice the style of the screencast tha you share with me.
If you want record a fullscreen without the margins. ( and have a portion of the screen without recording to put a prompter or a storyboard. ) Is Possible with a 21:9 screen ?
Dual is the best for daily, ultrawide if you're a videographer.
1:51 I REST MY CASE..... this is ALL u needed to say.
I have one monitor specifically for photo... I wanna get another one for gaming... now I'm not too sure ahahahah
Nice! It's always nice having one for both of them. But one for each I'm sure is nice.
Resolution dpi gets worse with an ultrawide. If you aint robbing the bank. 4K*2 or stretched 4K.
The amount of cables being among 3 major arguments against a 2-monitor setup shows how weak those arguments really are. Add 1440 on 34", and there's no way to make a single ultra-wide setup a reasonable choice.
I use my computer to write Sermons, Searching the Web, Netflix, and TH-cam TV, etc... but not gaming. Would a Ultra Wide Screen be better than 2 monitors?
Your resolution will be lower on a curved ultrawide, meaning that text will be less crisp. I find pixelated text to be tiring to stare at for 8 hours a day, and I imagine that a relatively low-resolution screen would be a liability to someone who does image editing.
You could get a flat ultrawide, but that means that you will stare at the outer edges of the screen from such a sharp angle that they will look compressed. The big difference in the distance from your eyes to the middle of the screen and from your eyes to the edges of the screen would also mean that your eyes would have to refocus a lot, which is tiring.
You could probably get a curbed ultrawide with a high resolution, but you would have to get a second mortgage.
A disadvantage you missed is that older games don't display properly on ultrawide.
not only older games even recent games can be a pain in the ass. But ultra wide has a way better immersion when it actually works
Just get dual-ultrawides! 😂
no one seems to use these dual monitors for general office work ahhh
Oh really? That's interesting. I'm thinking about going back to dual monitors. I've been on an Ultrawide for some time now but I really like dual monitors.
Heya John,. don't take offence as I don't mean it negatively, but have you ever had your eyes tested for colour blindness? I notice on almost all your photos your skin tones (for white skin) is VERY pink. Like salmon skin haha. It might just be your personal style that you like. It would personally put me off using your services, your photos are lovely though. Since your monitors are all calibrated I thought there should be 0 reason for such weird/unnatural skin tones. I'm also on regularly calibrated Benq monitors just in case you think i'm nuts. I know some people are completely unaware they see colour differently.
No offence taken. I've taken a color test before and my eyes are pretty accurate. I tend to lean towards magenta on most all of my edits. To the point of almost being a little too heavy with it. I'm aware of that. But I love my magentas #magentaman
@@jbivphotography haha! Well I'm glad you're aware and obviously your clients LOVE them, so don't change by all means, just not my particular taste. I'm glad everyones different :D #magentaman! lol love it!
I work as a programmer and I've tried to use one monitor in potrait mode. Totally useless imo.
Interesting. Most programmers I know really like it. Thanks for that info.
Biggest thing you didn't mention is that you can't have full screen applications alongside other applications in ultra wide. IE you can't have TH-cam in full screen and have other apps open too. Biggest reason I'm going to get 2 monitors
Actually you can, in picture-in-picture mode. It allows you to view multiple windows in various sizes or orientations to fit your requirements. It might not be "full" screen, as in 16:9, but it's close enough. You can even have picture-by-picture mode to view two different sources if you have another computer.
@@cun7us is this available on Mac os? And can I use it for a full screen video game and some other app at the same time?
@@aubame-bloodclut-zette6745 for sure. It's available on both Windows and Mac. You just want to make sure you have a decent CPU and memory so that it runs smoothly.
@@cun7us alright thanks I'll look into this
with one widescreen monitor would dell display manager solve the zoom calls screen sharing problems?
the downside of most wide monitors is are not 4K
I hate Curve wide monitors, wide Flats are the way to go!
how wide can a flat go before your angle of view impacts what you see? 32 max or what?
It took me 2 days to get used to the curve. Now I love it. The curve serves the same purpose as dual angled towards you. The edges you want close to the same distance as the center.
@@zmanphx now I hate all wide monitors lol, I'm back to the classic 27 or 32.
Less demonstration, too much talking.
