Ultrawide Vs Dual setup?!

Wheatley · 15 Apr 2018 at 09:25

Hi,

I've been using an old (ish) Toshiba 31" TV as my Monitor and it's decided to kick the bucket. Now I am looking for a new one but but not sure if I should go dual or ultrawide. I have been looking at the LG ultrawides and seem good for the money.

I'll be using it for Photoshop,gaming and music production software. What size should I go for ( ultrawide) or should I go for a dual set up? I'm only be using it at 1080p with a 1060 6gb and I don't mind that it's 60hz

Many thanks
my budget is £250

If you can step up an extra £10 I can highly recommend the LG 29UM68-P, I use it at my work and it's a pleasure to work on.

That's the one I was looking at or the smaller 25" version to save some money. How tall is the 29" and what mount does it use if you can mount It?

25" with Ultrawide is not a nice experience, I'd definitely opt for the 29".

The monitor itself from the bottom bezel to the top bezel is around 13" high and has a built in stand and as far as I can see does have VESA mounting holes.
