3:2 is great for productivity on a smaller screen for sure.

But I gotta hard disagree on ultrawide. It sure looks pretty but unless you play simulation games exclusively I find that they make the experience worse. Their main benefit is that they're more cost effective (both the screen itself and that it's easier to drive) than a triple monitor setup while satisfying to a decent degree all use cases were a triple monitor setup excels.

Gotta disagree with you as an ultrawide user.

Watching movies is way more fun than on a TV.
Working on it is very cool. Research is very good with it like browser on the left and Visual Studio on the right.

Sure, I came at it from a pure gaming angle. From a productivity angle it's almost as good as multi monitor setup but generally cheaper. And for Movies it can be better than multi monitor setups and for sure better than non-ultrawide (for the right movies of course) but for me movies are a social thing and I can't stand watching something alone on the computer, generally.

Totally.
I still prefer movies on the tv because it's more comfortable there compared to my desk chair.
