Ultrawide Monitor Vs. Dual Monitors

The following is from the link that @jeff_rivers provided:
I am currently using a 49" 4K TV as my monitor. This is equivalent to a 2 x 2 grid of 24" FDH monitors.
The actual diagonal is 48.5 inches, resulting in 91 dpi. With the monitor a arms distance I find this easy to read with no DPI scaling. The screen is 23.78" high x 42.27" wide, allowing a full size preview of Arch D size drawings.
I use Display fusion to partition it into virtual monitors My "main" virtual monitor is a 2560 x 1440, 32" diagonal, portion of the screen. This about as large as I can comfortably work with. Other applications or floating AutoCAD Windows/Pallets can occupy the unused space. I mostly work standing so my "main" monitor is at the top. I admit that the monitors on the lower part of the screen are hard to read; temporarily, I either sit down, or drag lower monitor up to a better position.
If you are considering this, I suggest that you copy the attached "4K Monitor.png" file to a USB drive and take it to a big box store to view it on the actual TV you are consideing
I think I paid about $325 for a LG 49U6300 television.

The office desk is telescopic, sitting for a while then standing, good for the body, heart and health. 30 years sitting really starts to be a pain in the arsssss.

Yep. I shoot for a 50-50 split.
This is my somewhat more disheveled than usual home office and makeshift standing desk.

Piece of cake!
When I started 50+ years ago, it was all board drafting. We did have tall stools, some with backrests. There was a lot of standing and reaching to draw on a 24" x 36" or larger sheet. We sat when doing calculations and writing reports. Only some had desks.
Times changed. There was a period when we were using computers on drafting boards. Several years later, someone invented the word ergonomics. We found him to be quite humorous.
