Multiple Monitors no more

I had the good fortune to test the UltraWide 34WQ60C-B Monitor which replaced (2) 20" monitors in my work from home office. Easily one of the best upgrades I have ever made. The monitor was packaged meticulously and the plug and play set up was a breeze. I connected it to my work computer via DisplayPort and my personal PC by HDMI. Toggling between them is extremely simple, and the option to to Picture by Picture (PBP) is awesome using the monitor for half work and half personal (play or off network research). None of the settings are overly complicated so unlikely someone will screw it up.
It easily handled work applications and video conferences. On a typical day, I have the screen split into four sections, email, teams, work software, and another thing which could be a training video, a video conference call, an internet browser etc... The image remained crisp and bright.
And it can't be all about work. I have played games on here, done some photography editing, streamed videos and much more. It is extremely nice to be able to do things you previously had to do on a single screen, but with so much additional real estate, you can have tips and tricks on the side of a game, a browser to look up what else actors have been in on the movie you are watching, or side by side images of an edited photo so you can see the changes you made.
However, as nice as the features and the great resolution, this specific model in my opinion is definitely geared as a work monitor. The lack of speakers was unfortunate requiring additional hardware to watch videos, participate in conference calls, or play video games with sound. I would have liked it if the monitor could be rotated for a portrait view but ultimately this does not ruin the experience. I am sure eventually an aftermarket part will come out to allow this. I would buy another to complete my semi circle set up.
