If what you value is vertical space/resolution why not run a 4K monitor vertically? You can either use the full resolution or crop at whatever vertical space you prefer.
This is terrific advice. I run one monitor in the standard horizontal configuration and one horizontal. Everybody who sees it falls in love. I can get 100 lines of code on the monitor and rarely does a line wrap. PDFs and other documents look terrific.
I just switched to this setup and it’s great. Windows unfortunately doesn’t natively support “snap to left/right” on a horizontal monitor and “snap to bottom/top” on a vertical monitor at the same time.
It's a little bit better but it's still a crap aspect ratio, and turning it vertical doesn't fix all of the problem. Now it's too tall and not wide enough.
This is where the vertically curved displays used for video slots would shine as a general purpose monitor. You'd have less vertical range to scan and refocus on.
