25 inch is pretty small. I recommend at least a 29 inch. A 29 inch ultrawide will have the same height as a 23 inch monitor.

29" ultrawide has a similar height to a 24" 16:9. 25" is too small for 21:9 anyways so get a 29" ultrawide minimum.

Agree, depends on space of course, but if replacing 2 monitors then you definitely have space. I have a 29" ultrawide and love it, don't think I could have fitted a 34" in the space I have available.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
