I’m reworking my computer setup, and I’m currently debating with myself over whether I want to pick up a second monitor, or sell my current one and replace it with an ultrawide. I figured I’d seek out anecdotes to see which setup people tend to prefer.

Edit: Thanks y’all for the responses. I see a lot of people doing UWD+1, a few using dual, and very few using none at all. I’m at least going to roll with two monitors, but I’ll have to do some measuring to see if I can make an UWD+1 work for my desk.

    Dual monitor; this is because my workflow requires me to use two very different tools together and having them on large and wholly separate monitors helps maintain the separation while retaining a pleasing aspect ratio.

    When I had a single ultrawide it worked but it always felt awkward even though technically it wasn’t cluttered.
