Monitor Size Guide
So you're looking at 25-inch 1.6 aspect ratio monitor versus 28-inch ultrawide (21:9) monitor? Let's break down what that means for your setup. The 28-inch ultrawide (21:9) monitor offers a bit more room to work with—about 1% more space than the 25-inch 1.6 aspect ratio monitor. The 28-inch ultrawide (21:9) gives you that sweeping, panoramic view that's great for immersive gaming and creative work, unlike the more standard 25-inch display. Looking at options like 25 inch 16x10 vs 28 inch ultrawide, it's worth thinking about your typical day. Are you coding, gaming, watching videos, or designing? A 27-inch display fits most workflows without taking over your entire desk. If you're juggling multiple apps and windows all day, dual-screen setups can be absolute lifesavers for productivity. And for those who work with timelines, panoramic photos, or just love an ultrawide gaming experience, a 32-inch ultrawide (21:9) monitor gives you that expansive view without any bezels getting in the way.
