I've never gotten the point of ultrawide. It's bigger and more expensive than 3 monitors, yet can fit as much as 1... Because yk, you can only have 1 fullscreen window per monitor.
Yeah, I'm triple monitor all the way.
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
Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it's not something I've felt I need.
