    The forced menubar becomes absurd on an ultrawide monitor. Nobody needs a 49" wide menu or task bar

      Well, I also tend to consider ultrawide monitors a mistake in their own right. Why would you want a 49" wide literally anything if it’s not some kind of immersive media experience where menus are irrelevant anyway?

      Of course, if that is in fact exactly what you bought it for, I have no complaints. Even if I disagree with having one for other purposes, that’s still no reason for the OS to punish you for having one when you try to use it that way when that problem is completely avoidable.

        It’s also great when programming. I usually have an IDE/text editor, documentation/browser, email/teams and a couple of terminals open at all times and being able to see all of them at once is really helpful.

        Granted, you could get the same with two 27" monitors, but add ultrawide gaming to that and it’s pretty much a no-brainer for me.

          I’d rather have multiple monitors so I have the more intuituve window snapping. But to each their own.

        A 49" ultrawide is just two 27" bezel-less basically. And games that support 5120 horizontal resolution look amazing.
