My journey for dual displays with my M1 Pro Mac (2021)

I switched to an ultrawide and will never look back. My last setup was 2 monitors. Having 2 1440p monitors basically stuck together to make an ultrawide is a dream come true. It’s 100% worth the switch.

My M1 Air runs my ultrawide at 60hz and is buttery smooth.

IMO, 1440p is too low of a pixel density for productivity. My first 1440p monitor was 10 years ago. If only 2160p ultrawides weren't prohibitively expensive.

Agreed, 4K is my favorite resolution. I was going to add above that the only way I’d buy another monitor was if it was a 4K or higher ultrawide.

I've long preferred one large monitor. Which ultrawide do you have?

I bought this one but it was overkill for my needs. I think the model below this one is a better buy. They were out when I bought it.

I highly recommend the Dell UltraSharp U4919, of which I currently have four (two at home and two at work). Almost my entire department switch to them as soon as they came out.

My other ultra-wide is an ASUS PG348Q. It's crazy how that monitor felt huge when I got it, but it just seems tiny now.

Two 49" monitors? At the same time? That sounds crazy! I like the Dell UltraSharp though.

I have an Acer XR382CQK which is 3840x1600 and can do 75hz. I can’t live without it now.
