For video editing dual monitors wins. Timeline on one screen, preview on the other. Ultrawide is great but having that physical separation helps workflow alot

Ultrawide needs more GPU power. 3440x1440 is 34% more pixels than regular 1440p. Make sure your GPU can handle it. What card do you have?

Ultrawide is amazing for gaming immersion. Dual monitors better for productivity though. I have both setups and use ultrawide for gaming, dual for streaming/work. If you can only pick one id say dual monitors for versatility
