You'll get a ton more screen space (about 173% more) with the 38-inch widescreen (16:9) monitor compared to the 25-inch ultrawide (21:9) monitor. The 25-inch ultrawide (21:9) gives you that sweeping, panoramic view that's great for immersive gaming and creative work, unlike the more standard 38-inch display. Looking at options like 38 inch wide screen vs 25 inch ultrawide, it's worth thinking about your typical day. Are you coding, gaming, watching videos, or designing?
