21:9 vs 2x23"

[Rob200088]

I am in the market for a new monitor but i can really choose between a wide angle monitor (29") of a setup of 2 23 inch monitors. My pc will be able to run both of the choices but i cant decide. My price range is about 300 euros. i can buy one wide angle screen or 2 separate screens. What is the best option?

Btw my choises a either one :Lg 29UM57-p or two LG 23MP67VQ for those who are interested.

One wide angle is far better.

I would probably say 1  ultrawide, unless you can take advantage of having a second monitor as opposed to having 1 big one (like you will game on 1 monitor and watch a video on the second)

 

Personally I use 1 24" and 1 22", which are decent... But it's still a bit annoying having them 'spread out a bit'

Also, is any of these monitors IPS? That might be something to think about too

[Rob200088]

The monitors are both 1080 and ips of course

I'd go for 2 23' - sorry but dual monitor is too awesome to pass up

For gaming and some desktop things like video editing I would go with the single ultra wide but for most other uses I would go with two.

I would say go for ultrawides if you can utilize it for both productivity and entertainment eg; movies, video games or videos

The dual monitor set-up is more useful as a productivity (sometimes entertainment) system

 

I personally want to get a second monitor for my CAD and video editing

One single is way better i use the LG 29um67-p and it is way better than my previous two 16 by 9 ones
