Likely to be the best £225 I've spent. Ultrawide is perfect for gaming, but 3:2 is the play for laptops. (lemmy.world)

Fair, and of course that's the ultimate consideration in the end, since any monitor choice has to fit into where you put it. I went to a 32" 1440p center + 2x 22" 1080p sides (pixel size is identical, hence that specific setup) which works better for me due to the versatility, and it just perfectly fits the Ikea desk I have. 😅 But I can understand why someone especially limited in stand-space would go for a single monitor.

I do think multi-setups are inherently more versatile, plus they avoid the built-in occassional software issues with ultrawide-incompatibility.

I’ve yet to hit that second issue about compatibility in 4 years using mine with a combination of Mac, Windows 10/11 and Linux machines. But yes, agreed about that first point. It’s easier to rearrange a couple of physical screens than mess around with software.
