How does this compare to two regular monitors stacked on a monitor stand?


This is basically two 1440p panels attached together... so not too different if you have really thin bezels.

But what I'm curious about is if this acts as one monitor or two? None of the images show windows that overlap the middle of the screen. So is it one or two "virtual" screens?

If it is one virtual screen, I might think of it as more useful to me in the 18:16 orientation.


You can run it as two 16:9 monitors or one 16:18 monitor


If it's not actually two monitors, power toys' fancyzones[1] can duplicate that behavior in Windows.

It is two monitors, you can plug 2 devices at the same time.


It is one panel and has an internal kvm so you can use two devices at the same time.



That image is not evidence it is one panel, especially since the image on the screen is photoshopped and not a picture of the live monitor.


It’s one panel. I have this monitor.


The slideshow just below shows it used as a single monitor.


From someone that does a 3x2 setup I'll add one downside: on my split setup I run the bottom row 90 degrees from the desk while the upper ones are angled down and slightly so that both are viewed straight on when glanced at. Not having a physical split like this makes it so the top and bottom will always seem angled.

I suppose if it were curved it'd solve that problem but then it would come with assumptions about how far away you sit and create new problems like glare streaks.


Also easier to reposition as a single unit.


More flexibility when splitting stuff? With 2 screens, I often found I wanted a main thing in the middle and a small window on each side, but that's really ackward if you have a bezzle. Then again, that makes more sense for an ultra-wide than an ultra-high monitor in my opinion.


Only one image (unless you use the split feature) with no gaps in between, and only power input.


no bezel comes to mind. also easier to mount than try to align two perfectly
