Is the open office layout dead?

I use an X34 at home, aside from quality issues (needed a warantee repair after 6 weeks, nontrivial shipping and hassle), it's a fantastic monitor for every task.

I've never understood the tendency towards multiple monitors over one larger monitor.

I find multiple monitors easier to manage with a tiling window manager and offer a better "separation of concerns" in terms of grouping of active applications I want to see. But my home set up includes 3 28in displays so I may just have a problem, ymmv.

Nice. Mine could only do 95hz after a while on 100, started flickering; other than that no issue.

I surround my home X34 with two U2412Ms on an Ergotech stand.

It's a pretty neat setup.

Its easier to independently change the workspace running on a secondary monitor than it is to rearrange individual applications.
