hey guys david here and so i’ve had my newdell ultrawide monitor for a month now and i love it. but i’ve been going back and forth on whetherfor productivity was ultrawide the way to go? or is a dual monitor ideal? obviously for gaming and video, ultrawideautomatically wins out, but for purely productivity purposes which works better? first let’s quickly look at it from a resolutionstandpoint. for roughly $900 canadian dollars you couldbuy a pair of 27†1440p monitors or the
same amount you could buy a single 34†3440x1440ultrawide monitor. from a basic resolution stand point the dualmonitor setup has about 49% more screen real estate. so that’s a huge amount of extra space butyou’ll have to deal that bezel in the middle that can be a bit distracting.tbut screen real estate isn’t everything to consider when it comes to productivity. how you can manage your workspace makes abig difference as well. take the example that you’re running twoinstances, on the dual monitor setup maximize on one, and maximize on the other and awayyou go.
but luckily thanks to the built in windows10 snap feature you can pretty much do similar on a single ultrawide by dragging the windowto the left or right and they’ll automatically expand to half the screen. or if you want you can also do this from thekeyboard by pressing the windows key and the left or right arrow. you can also click and drag between the twowindows to automatically resize them both. or you can drag the window to fill a corner. this window snap feature works whether youhave a single ultrawide or multiple displays so it’s really handy to use regardless ofyour setup.
there are also optional applications thatcan come with your dell or lg monitor that will allow you to virtually divide your screeninto custom areas if you have a preferred screen layout for your windows but i findthese tools a little too cumbersome for my workflow so i just stick to the built in windows10 snap feature instead. so far comparing the ultrawide and the dualmonitor setup they both work comparably well but one area where the dual monitor setupstands out is if you want to multi task with an app that needs fullscreen mode. the example i have here is youtube on onehalf and another window on the other. i can’t maximize the youtube video withoutit taking over the entire widescreen.
but with dual screens you can maximum thevideo on one display and continue to do whatever you like on the other. this workflow can also apply to other applicationsor games that need to be maximized on screen for full benefit. something you won’t be able to do on a singleultrawide monitor. (not entirely true there’s chrome pluginto maximize youtube videos within a browser but i find it too cumbersome to use regularly,and you could run dual inputs to the ultrawide and run it in picture by picture mode butthat also has its own limitations that isn’t worth it)so it’s not a huge win but in my mind between
a single ultrawide vs a dual monitor setup. i think the dual monitor setup wins slightlyin terms of just pure productivity for me. the windows snap feature is a really big helpto manage multiple windows on a single ultrawide but it’s not perfect compared to havingtwo discrete displays. but even though i prefer dual monitor forproductivity a single ultrawide is almost just as good of an experience and you haveadded benefit for games and video so i can see it winning over most people. or if you can afford it an ultrawide pairsvery nicely with a second 2k display like i have right now, or any old spare monitoryou have should do just nicely.
with this setup i typically just use the ultrawidemonitor by itself most of the time and the second monitor is just used as an accessorymonitor when i need just a little more space for reference material or to keep organized. so now i figured out my ideal monitor setup. it’s time to clean up and redesign desksetup but until then, hope you guys enjoyed this one. you know what to do. and i’ll see you in the next video.
