*masturbation.
I'm a total coaster nazi. When I had an iPhone 4 it was ruined by a nearby margarita that was sweating up a big puddle on the table and drowned my phone. Ever since...
I like the simple setup btw.

The ultrawide had to go. While it was beyond great for gaming, it just didn't hold up on the productivity side. Bought two new Dell Ultrasharps. U2515H. Love em. Happy to be back to duals.

There totally is but its better in theory than in execution. That's sort of where I duped myself.
LG has some software it calls "Split Screen". Original, I know. I figured with that and being able to use the windows hotkeys to send the windows to the left or right I'd be all good. It separates the screen so it acts like two monitors. It has some real faults though. Everything "snaps" to the screens. So if you have a windows explorer window open and its in the way, normally you'd just move it a tad, but with this software if you move it, bam, its full screen. So instead of moving it out of the way, its now in the way of everything. There are other little annoyances too but difficult to explain.
Sometimes it was simple stuff. If I just wanted to look something up real quick, the browser window would open to the full screen. Its awkward to view a screen that wide so thats annoying. So now you have to either move it to the left or right every time. Again, just annoying.
The positives were big positives tho and I'll miss those. I use Alteryx constantly for work and thats absolutely amazing on an ultrawide. I use XMind quite a bit too. Again, fantastic on an ultrawide. Gaming was great although on newer game you have to turn down the graphics settings. I really enjoying playing BF3 again on max settings and dogfighting. Awesome experience. Believe it or not even old Age of Empires was really fun since you can see soooo much more landscape.
But, there were several little things that seemed to add up to a bad overall experience. The new monitors are 2K with super thin bezels and beautiful. No regrets.
If it makes you feel better, there is a shoulder mounted deer head in my entryway with a cow hide chair, and more deer mounts in the garage.
Oh, and ball caps > cowboy hats.

That's sort of racist.
At least please tell me that when you dress up you where a really over-sized belt buckle.

Respect my lack of authority.
Would that be like trying to split the image on a wide screen television Meg?? PIP is fine on a wide screen but spit?? looks terrible, so would that not be a comparison??
What would be more interesting if you ran two of those wide screens side by side?? I think that would be a good test of your vision
Reminds me of trying to get early-gen dual monitors to work. Now the bugs have been worked out and I enjoy using two- back then, I really hated the experience. The software will get better and the monitors less expensive. And I have a slight suspicion you'll be changing/upgrading not too far in the future. Current setup looks very nice, as well as practical. If placed slightly higher and positioned just right, you could convince people that was your view outside. Looks sharp even in the picture.
