Same monitor, just rotate it.

We need the same monitor, vertically!

As someone that first learned to program in 8008 machine code, you aren't really wrong, but formatting is and always will be for the weak.

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 bought one after some months of remote work in 2020. Then when I started my new job they gave me another one (different manufacturer but exact same panel size). I needed to rearrange my desk a lot, but holy shit so much room for error messages!

Yes, I'm a Java developer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The real advantage of two monitors is that you can turn one off if you don’t need the full 50000px width.

Hello world in Java:

class 9-A {
    public static endangered therefore protected final void main(String[] args) {
        System.prepareTheOutputBufferForPrintingAsTheNextStatementWillDoSo(args);
        System.in.out.in.out.shake.it.all.around("Java is a programming language " +
            "invented by the intelligent monkeys " +
            "working at Sun Microsystems.");
        return void; // duh!
    }
 }

Yeah, you never see this in enterprise settings. Sure builders or streams can get a bit long but you just pop each .x() on a new line.

And when they're on new lines intellij has a cool feature where it creates a little UI only comment next to the line showing what type it returns.

Java is a programming language that is notorious for being verbose, the joke is that you need a massively wide monitor to view it without the text being cut off

The joke is Java is verbose. It takes many characters to accomplish simple routines. Depending on your view that could either be good or bad for reading the code later.

The ultra-wide's big appeal is definitely more for gaming than programming.

I use a Ultrawide as my main monitor, a 1440p vertical one on the right and 2 portable 15" 1080p under the Ultrawide.

When I need to share, I share one of the 15". I keep my notes and the call on my Ultrawide. I think it's a great setup.

But if you don't want as many monitors, for sure 2x 16:9 is much better than 1x 21:9 or even 1x 32:9.

You might have just saved me a heap of money.

Screen sharing would suck with an ultra wide.

Buy a second monitor with the same space

Imports wouldn’t help. It’s setters with a ton of chained getters

no, he's using a very old version of IntelliJ Idea

I'm using this one, highly recommend it! 240hz refresh rate, HDR, perfect for coding and gaming. Don't know if it's the exact same as the one in OP's pic, but same concept for sure.
