I have a monitor that's almost like this and it's surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn't a factor.

The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

EDIT: a word

I bought one after some months of remote work in 2020. Then when I started my new job they gave me another one (different manufacturer but exact same panel size). I needed to rearrange my desk a lot, but holy shit so much room for error messages!

Yes, I'm a Java developer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was either that or a C++ programmer. Those template error messages are gnarly.
