A 25" is about 1.5 we" displays. So it will just kinda depend on if you workflow will be hindered by the bar in the middle of the two monitors.

I'd go for two 22" unless you can get a 29" ultrawide.

My setup alternates between an ultrawide and 2 monitors and I much prefer the ultrawide for everything especially productivity.

 

Saying that I would not go with a 25 inch one as they are really quite small, personally I would try and get a 29 inch one.

The Problem is that the 29 inch is not readily available where i live and the one that is , is imported so its ridiculously expensive

Given that enhanced productivity is the end goal:

 

What apps will you be running?

Do you need to run several simultaneously?

What is the budget?

Is pixel density and color accuracy a concern?

I will be running 2-3 IDEs at once along with 2-3 Terminals
I have to Run atleast 3 of them simultaneously (I use windows snap feature as of now)

the budget is $240 (equivalent) ....NOTE that the 29 inch ultrawide is not available

The PPI and Color accuracy is not a concern but i atleast hope to have 1080p resolution
