Ultrawide buy 49 inches screen size have to sit further away. So 29 inch is just right.

My current one ard 8 yr old i think or older. Alr 23 inch. If i get another same one for another room like no point from view of productivity. Probably at least the 29" to see if it can help with work and learning and maybe vid editing.

The 34 or 35" not better? I srsly will use it for work. But i dont know need to reorganize the room or not if want to fit a single/super single bed also since there is a closet/sewing machine+dressing table on the other side.

But i have to put the pc whr the power points are. Otherwise need to engage electrician to rewire the sockets

Nothing wrong with 29" but for me, my desk is only 65cm deep and my monitor is not wall mounted so I am sitting quite near to the monitor. Any bigger than 24" I think will be uncomfortable. My previous monitor also 24"

True also. im thinking of getting a slightly longer desk but depth also same, just have to sit a bit further. u are right also. i also dunno how the bed will fit in eventually but want to separate work from bed/rest in the other room since im repurposing it

tough la if got money and many rooms everything also can

29" on the left, 34" on the right for chiur reference.

29" ultrawide has the same screen height as a 23" widescreen. 34" ultrawide has the same screen height as a 27" widescreen. Screen sharpness might be better on 29" vs 34" . Ymmv.
