I have a monitor that's almost like this and it's surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn't a factor.

The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

EDIT: a word

Everyone at my work who has this runs into issues whenever they need to share their screens, apologizing for low resolution or painstakingly resizing every window to mimic multiple screens anyway.

I just share one window at a time. I put the meeting on one half and the window I want to share on the other, which makes it 16:9 and works perfectly for what I need to share.

Yeah people do that, until you're sharing a code window and then need to see if it works on a browser and then your dev tools are popped out so you have three windows...or you don't want to just have one meeting and one window visible, you also want slack or a window for googling or something similar...

It's all workaround-able, it's just minor annoyance after minor annoyance lol.

So new technology will require new solutions to operate more effectively? Just another turn of the wheel.

[-] Milx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the benefit of the new technology doesn't outweigh the slew of minor annoyances associated with making it work in a world designed for regular sized monitors.
