Personally, as a programmer I prefer dual Full HD monitors. I can easily maximize the website that I am working on at one of the screens. Since 1080p 24-inch monitors are still the standard, this gives me the guarantee that's probably the format the user will experience the website. Another point for me is that my hardware only supports full HD gaming. Thus, going for ultrawide at 2k or 4k will make it impossible to play games :-/.

Been having this question for a looooooong time. Finally decided to get 2 after this video. Ultrawide is good for fov, but I got that covered with in-game settings. Thank you so much for the advice! Dual is SUPER good for anything like gaming and streaming/recording, or gaming and watching videos/streams, or having 2 tasks. I have actually tried Ultrawide myself, and it comes down to what are your configurations for each task. For example: set recording/streaming software to games specifically, or just having tabs open all at once. Tab mode is better for games while multi-tasking. I hope whoever reads this comment gets what they need!

As a McDonalds customer service employee, duel 8k monitors have really helped me with my job.

I have tried all sorts of setups from single to dual and triple monitors. Mire recently I moved to a 34" ultrawide and love it. But then I added an old 20" monitor on the side in portrait because I still find it useful to throw a window on there occasionally tonget it out of the way but still keep it handy.

thanks.....always enjoy your content. Stay Safe.

Great video man! I just found your channel a few days ago and I prefer it to some of the bigger channels! Keep up the good work!

Great video! great overview of the setups available, keep up great work.

I use an AOC 144hz 27inch monitor as my primary, with a 24inch Samsung set up vertically as my secondary monitor. I use it mainly to keep an eye on my systems temps, memory and CPU usage while gaming. It's also useful for coding and reading in general, since I find it much more comfortable to read on a taller screen than a widescreen.

Hey Thanks for your video. Used to think Ultra wide monitors were a bit of a gimmick but realise what a huge advantage (and fairly affordable) it is. Also, colour matching on dual monitors can be a pain. Great content. Thanks.

Only guy i trust to give me all the important info! Never click baited!! Appreciating you out of the US!

Good one! You should do a review with an ultra wide being used as primary and a 16:9 as secondary probably attached in a mini pc so you can have the best of both worlds

I built my first gaming PC in 2013 but I've had a two monitor set up since 2014. Interestingly enough my needs have changed over the years but they still all match continuing with a two monitor setup.

Thank you for your informative video. Very helpful to me as I jumped into my first dual monitor setup for working from home and the occasional game.

Where did you get that desk! I love it

One primary in the middle widescreen screen and another one to the side for your streams, recording, work and etc.

Thanks mate for the info. 👍

Great vid as always dude. I still just use the one monitor but having reviewed the CRG9 that is what I would upgrade to if I had the pennies. I was very sad to send that back to Samsung. Productivity was awesome on it, using it as two monitors sometimes for gaming with 1440 27” for gaming with map or guide open on the other was really helpful but sometimes just gaming with that huge screen was so much fun.

Thanks for this video, it was super helpful. I want to start multi-streaming soon and I'll need a second monitor for keeping an eye on both KZread and Twitch chat windows. I wasn't sure if I could do different tasks on each window but your video has confirmed that I can. Also I never thought of how much better it would make editing in Premiere Pro - my one annoyance with that is not having enough monitor space, so thanks for that fantastic idea!

I ran a dual monitor setup co prized of two different size and resolution monitors. I recently, a couple months ago, upgraded to dual matching 27” 1440p monitors. I don’t think I could ever go back to a single monitor on my desk setup.

I have been running dual 24" screens for quite sometime. When I do video editing I usually put the editing software on the left in all my file resources on the right. I am thinking about going ultra wide with a 4K screen so I can use the middle area. I am just not sure if I will miss the extra height I get from 2 screens. The ultra wides are expensive. And what if I don't like it. I haven't done any gaming in quite some time but got about Re entering the arena.

Nice video for basic dual monitor setup guide!!!! I have a dual PC setup so 2x monitors required anyway. Gaming rig is 21:9, streaming is 16:9. They are connected via ethernet to my router so they see each other with virtually zero network latency (not wireless), and I use NDI sources to stream. It's a bit overkill but the benefits are insane. The drawback if you could consider this a drawback is that setting up the stream requires a lot more preliminary effort, and of course you're not sharing desktops between PCs so there's no window dragging between both monitors. Built the gaming rig for content creation as well since I'll be starting that soon.

nice review! that ultra-hyper-mega-wide looks awesome! but i guess i'd prefer 2 monitors.

Personally multi-tasking between two monitors is the only option that makes sense due to the games I play. For example, I play Elite Dangerous which means I almost always need external tools open on my second screen while playing. Those tools range from discord, to current in game market data, to a neutron star router. With an ultra wide I would constantly find myself alt-tabbing to find the information I need rather than being able to glance to my left to just read the information.

You dont need to full screen your games on an ultrawide, set it to a max 16:9 ratio and adjust your extra apps to fill in the empty space on each side of your game window. It's like having 2 thin vertical monitors on each side. Or get a 30 to 34" ultrawide and another cheapish monitor and go vertical, slap your other apps on that. Elite dangerous would thrive on an ultrawide tho, so the second option would be your best choice.

49" 4K TV ftw, stuck at 60hz but that real estate...

Very useful video. I'm in the situation you wisely avoided! I don't just have one monitor I want to to keep, I have two. I have my old HP 24", which I have always loved and still do. It has been my working and gaming monitor for years now. But I just fell heir to a 32" LCD TV, on which games look quite amazing (for reasons I don't yet fully understand). So, I'm trying to figure out how to keep the use of the HP for doing stuff like typing KZread comments, and bring in the 32" TV for gaming. Hmmm. Tricky!

At work I find the two workspaces of two, or more, monitors invaluable. At home however, ultrawide all the way. For games it is impossible to go back to 16:9 and the real estate is still very useable even though it's all in one workspace.

2:46 what is the left background image?

I am liking 43” 4K monitors. Still expensive for good specs, but I adjusted to a big screen quicker than I thought. Having 4 usable windows at once is nice.

Would u recommend one for gaming and one for editing

It's a very hard decision for me because I like both so idk

While dual displays are a great choice for development work in terms of productivity, I think the long-term ergonomic issues cannot be overstated. As you pointed out, a dual-screen setup almost always puts the border--the useless part--right in the middle, and your body should really be squared to the middle of your work station, with your knees, hips, shoulders, and head all pointing to the same plane. It would be great to see some dual-screen hardware that can allow the user to easily "strafe" their displays for different scenarios, so at times when one display is going to take the lion's share of the focus, you can put it dead center. . I think headsets are going to be a big dead, but not for several years. To really replace a traditional display for multi-hour use in a collaborative workspace, a lot developments have to be made. They need to become waaaayyyyyyy lighter, with higher resolution, super-tight motion tracking, a see-through mode with a camera (or more likely multiple cameras) and a sort of "virtual see-through" mode so your hands can still find the keyboard/mouse/stylus/what-have-you. . I accidentally made this comment much longer than I intended to. By the time I write a few more comments this long, the headset solution will be ready to replace traditional displays.
