I have a 32" curved ultrawide (3440x1440) at home and a 32" 4k at work. I work and game from home, and I mostly prefer the ultrawide even though it has less pixels. For the ~ decade before I got this monitor I used to use 2x24" 1080p displays at home, but always ended up craning my neck using them as you either have the bezel down the centre to fit and then you're constantly looking to the side, or have one monitor way off to the side so it's even less useful. I find myself turning my head much less with an ultrawide for whatever reason. Compared to the similarly sized 4k monitor I use at work, the one at home is essentially just shorter. It makes using 4 tiled windows not as good, but I don't really miss it (though this could be due to the tiling WM I use). I don't do a ton of gaming anymore—but when I do, it's awesome. Surprisingly immersive. I dual boot my computer at home with Linux / Windows, and use Linux as my daily driver with i3 [1]. I do find the monitor much more usable in Linux with i3 managing windows and workspaces than the occasions I need to develop on Windows (on Windows, I hate how windows just pop up pretty much where-ever). When working I tend to keep two windows side-by-side, one for my editor and the other for whatever I'm working on (terminal instance, android emulator, website, etc). I then use hotkeys to switch instantly between workspaces so it's quite fluid, but the monitor plays less into that. When I first bought mine I had visions of using 3 windows side-by-side, but I just never do that in practice for some reason. I also run everything at 1x scale, so the added vertical screen real estate (1440 vs 1080) is quite useful. I use LG monitors almost exclusively, but that's simply because of cost—they're almost always cheaper than other brands and I've never had any problems with them. They may not be as high quality or stacked as full of features as other brands but they've always been good enough for me. I'm never going back to dual-screens—to me they seem embarrassingly bad in pretty much every way compared to a single ultrawide these days. [1]: https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/
