You'll get a ton more screen space (about 179% more) with the 30-inch widescreen (16:9) monitor compared to the 23-inch 3.56 aspect ratio monitor. You'll get a wider field of view with the 23-inch 3.56 aspect ratio compared to the 30-inch widescreen (16:9). Looking at options like 23 inch super ultrawide vs 30 inch wide screen, it's worth thinking about your typical day. Are you coding, gaming, watching videos, or designing?
