Comparing Ultrawide Curved Monitors and Dual-Monitor Setups for Databricks Projects

[steveanderson]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently exploring the best setup for my data engineering tasks in Databricks and have been considering the benefits of using an ultrawide curved monitor compared to a standard dual-monitor setup.

I’d love to hear from the community:

User Experience: How does working with an ultrawide curved monitor enhance your productivity and focus compared to a dual-monitor setup?

Workflow Efficiency: Have you found that an ultrawide monitor improves your ability to analyze data, visualize outputs, or manage multiple notebooks and dashboards simultaneously?

Ergonomics: What are your thoughts on comfort during long working hours with either setup? Does one option help reduce eye strain or fatigue more than the other?

Recommendations: If you’ve made the switch or have experience with both, which setup do you prefer and why?

I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!

Thanks!

Here’s a clearer version:I don’t use a curved monitor; instead, I have two 35" monitors, which work perfectly for my Databricks work. I chose two large monitors over one extra-large one because I frequently share screens, and it’s easier to share an entire monitor rather than specific applications. Just my two cents. Cheers, Louis.
