    I prefer two cheaper flat monitors side by side. When I need to I temporarily hook one up to a Raspberry Pi or whatever and look at it and my PC at the same time. There might be a way to splice two machines into one super-wide monitor, but this is dead simple.

      If you’re working in the Linux console alone, you could also ssh into your Pi and, for instance, have your local machine on virtual console tty1 and the Pi on tty2, switching between them with ALT+Fx. Still only one monitor. 😜

      I originally bought my super1wide monitor to hook two machines into side by side. They generally have two sets of inputs that makes this easy.

      Now that I think about, you could use a dual HDMI picture-in-picture setup off of the same gpu and you would get a second monitor contiguous with the first, and you can set and forget for your Raspberry Pi projects.
