I find multiple monitors better. The physical separation helps in creating mental separation, allowing me to focus on the currently important areas and ignore the periphery.

Started working on double monitor setup still in the 90s (two big ass crts) and never went back. I tried some ultrawides, but always default to 2x instead.

    If you want to ignore the periphery, anyway, why do you need to see it in the first place?

    Focus.

    Say I'm working on Photoshop. I may need to use the palettes, tool presets, brush catalogue, alerts, etc, but then I may want to ignore them and focus purely on the image.

    3D - I can put references on secondary screen and peek at them every now and then, but not have them distract me while modeling and texturing.

    I can put tools like calculator, notepad and timer - all accessible, but all out of the way.
