The 38-inch 3.56 aspect ratio monitor offers a bit more room to work with—about 5% more space than the 29-inch widescreen (16:9) monitor. You'll get a wider field of view with the 38-inch 3.56 aspect ratio compared to the 29-inch widescreen (16:9). Looking at options like 38 inch super ultrawide vs 29 inch wide screen, it's worth thinking about your typical day. Are you coding, gaming, watching videos, or designing?
