I have a two monitor set up going right now hooked up to a dual display KVM switch. Sadly, a recent power outage has caused some finicky behavior in either my KVM or my secondary monitor, since it comes in and out. Will get around to debugging my setup once I have some time this holiday season, but I was also debating on switching to a single ultrawide monitor setup. I’m a software engineer by trade, and I get the most use out of the second monitor while working. However, when I’m doing literally anything else, the second monitor just tends to be Spotify, discord, or some background video or podcast.
What’s your preference? Anyone switch from one to the other? How do you use your setup?
i’ve been rocking dual monitors since the early 00’s.
for the last decade or so, i’ve used a primary monitor, with a decent sized TV on the wall above it. recently i upgraded the TV to a 45 inch 4K model. i mainly did it so i could give one of my kids the previous TV. i typically watch a fair bit of high def stuff on it.
the part i wasn’t prepared for, on making the jump to 4K, was how useful the real estate was for productivity.
