Hah, jokes on you, I have an ultra wide.

Which is basically two monitors without any separator in the middle.

once you go two ultrawides you will enter a new realm of existence.

Side by side or stacked on top?

Stacked on top, and vertical orientation since we're not doing Java here!

Side by side most of the time. I put them on arms so I can move them around and swivel them. It's ridiculous having two 34" Ultrawides. But, I can. So I Do. I also run a 3rd 40" 4k display when I need it or want to sit further back.

34” 5k2k ultrawide as main monitor and a 27” 4k in portrait for documentation.

Have a 27" 1440 in portrait for a side monitor. Best decision I ever made with my monitor set up.

Yeah I went from 1 32" 1440p and two 1080p side monitors to just a single 4k 43" and I'm saying that the time of multi monitor setups has come to an end.

I just made the switch from 3 24 inch monitor to a single 49 inch super ultrawide. It's basically 3 monitors with no bezels. A lot of things are annoying though like full-screening videos/games but there are workarounds.

My biggest problem with 4k and ultra wide monitors is screen sharing (like on zoom/teams/WebEx etc).

Most people still have 1080p screens at best, so when someone with a 4k or ultra wide shares their screen, it's really tough to see what's going on.

My main display is a 4k TV, but if I have to share, I'm sharing a window, or one of my auxiliary (1080p) screens.

I've resorted to just sharing my laptop screen. You can also use picture by picture to get split displays which are easier to share.
