Video Description

In this video, I tell my story of upgrading from using a dual monitor setup to one big UltraWide screen. I share my own story about why I made the switch and how it improved my work and gaming setup, explaining the benefits of having more space on the screen, better organization, and improved productivity, and how having an UltraWide monitor makes it easier to do loads of things at once. I do also touch on some downsides, like some of them needing better response times for gaming, but overall, I recommend UltraWide monitors for anyone looking to boost productivity and have a smart, tidy setup. πŸ›’ GET THE STUFF πŸ‘‡ My Current Dell Monitor - https://geni.us/DELL_40_ULTRASHARP Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 - https://geni.us/57INCH-G9 ($700 OFF) Samsung 49" Odyssey Neo G9 - https://geni.us/ODYSSEY-G9-OLED LG 45" UltraGear - https://geni.us/LG_ULTRAGEAR_SALE ($500 OFF) Secretlab Monitor Arm - https://geni.us/SECRETLAB_MONITOR_ARM (SUPPORTS 57-INCH!)
