MacBook Pro setup

[Coimbra22]

Hello guys i want to buy a monitor for My retina MacBook Pro 13", the screen is to small for programing sometimes i want to use to Programs at the same time and i have to alt/tab a lot and its a pain in the ass! 

I like a lot ultrawide screen But they are a little Bit expensive. 

My question is if is There any  good cheap ultrawide monitor! Or Should I get dual monitors setup?

 And ofcourse can the mbp handle nicely dual monitor, whats the best resolution possible That I could get? 

My budget is around 300/400$

 

Thank you guys!!!

If dual monitor around 24" if not give me your suggestion, Yeah ips would be ideal! Refresh rate im not sure! Is 144hz a diference maker?

Probably 1080p! If you could fit 1440p into the budget perfect

I'd recommend a couple of 24" Dell Ultrasharp's.

if your MacBook can do 4K then as a fellow coder maybe you should look at the ASUS PB287Q 28" 4K/UHD.  It is just under $400US on Amazon and can be flipped to a Portrait setup ideal for coding.

 

Here are a few pics for comparison next to my MAcBook Pro
