I switched from two monitors to a single, curved, ultra-wide 38" doing 3840x1600 pixels (LG 38UC99-W) about two years ago. I would never go back. I took maybe two days to get used to it. At first it was funny: going back to a flat screen and I would see the flat screen curved (!) but this weird effect disappeared after a few days and now I can use either curved of flat screen and everything always look normal: it's amazing how fast we adapt. That's 3x 1280 wide columns (I don't always use three columns of the exact same width that said). That's a lot of screen real estate already. Common setups I use are three columns (say IDE / Emacs in the middle, browser at the left / terminal bottom left / PDF open on the right / another terminal at the bottom left) or two columns. I often also have one virtual desktop with 9 terminals opened. IMO when you begin to go really ultrawide the pixels "in the corners" are kind far away compared to the others. A slightly curved monitor helps a lot with that. Now I don't game and don't watch movie on my monitor so there may be better 3840x1600 monitors than the one I picked two years ago. I try to arrange things logically and always in the same order, so I always now on with "virtual workspace" I'll find what opened. I use a tiling window manager and keyboard shortcuts to resize windows. Only app I run in full screen is photo-editing software. I take it audio and video editing software would do too.
