Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor? (lemmy.world)

I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?

It's pretty easy to just split the ultrawide into as many virtual monitors as you want. At least on Linux, I have zero experience on Windows or Mac. That said, I prefer 2 monitors, one vertical.

Windows has the free zones powertoy which does the same. So its an option but not in the OS by default.

But why split the ultrawide into virtual monitors when you can just buy 3 monitors for less money than an ultrawide

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it's not something I've felt I need.
