More importantly, a single screen can provide much better productivity than 2 screens. This monitor supports USB-C with 90W PD. Meaning you do not need to purchase a separate $150-200 dock to connect you laptop. Also has a built in KVM switch with picture by picture inputs, so you can connect a 2 PCs and run them simultaneously on the same screen, controlling both PCs with the same keyboard and mouse. You cannot do that with 2 monitors. Also a single screen allows for better window sizing and quick tiling. You can run 3+ documents/windows/apps side by side without a bezel in the middle.

Will I miss the extra 160 vertical pixels? Is 49" too wide for comfortable use?

The 38" would be great for minesweeper.

You'd be better off with multiple, smaller monitors that you can rotate and decide orientation independently.
This is hella expensive for a sever limitation of usefulness, especially for a coder.

still a hilariously over exaggerated use of the word "ghetto".

That said, they are killing my budget, so for the last user I just gave them mine and I'm going to bring in some old ergotrons from the warehouse and go back to embracing my inner Frankenstein monster. Gonna set up some 27" and 24" (since there's an excess of them now!) and see if the others start wanting that setup instead.
