The ultrawide monitor setup for my new gaming PC is pretty sick for FGU. I use Display Fusion to turn it into multiple monitors. This allows me to stretch Fantasy Grounds to wider than normal and still gives me a monitor for DND Beyond and Discord. Is anyone else running a 3440 x 1440 or something similar? If so, how do you set it up?

hmmm... Not sure why my image doesn't show up. I'll try a link:

Yes. That is what I do as well. I like to run the main app spread across 2 zones in the middle and then I have the edges divided into separate top and bottom zones for web apps, music, etc.

I also do something similar with two screens: 2/3 FG and 1/3 other apps like Syrinscape, Discord, Browser, ect. I use Stardock's Groupy (https://www.stardock.com/products/groupy/) to "tab" the apps on 1/3 part. FYI, Groupy while being primarily targeted at business, is on Steam (and thus does go on sale with the Steam Sales and presumably has regional pricing).

I use two 2560x1440 monitors side by side with FGU in fullscreen with the command "C:\Program Files\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds\FantasyGrounds.exe" -popupwindow -screen-width 5120 -screen-height 1440
I keep Discord and whatever is needed on top of it with the software "Turbotop"

Imagine what it would be like on one of those 32:9 49" monitors! Or maybe the Samsung Odyssey Neo 9 57" at 7680 x 2160. That should provide 'just' enough resolution and screen real-estate. Now, just need a desk big enough...

Don't have to, I have one of those 49" monitors along with 27" monitors (one for Discord, one for web browser) on each side it, makes for a very expansive desktop FGU desktop setup.

Hehehe...I switched my multi monitor setup for just the 49" monitor. I am fine with doing alt-tab to pull up any webpage or discord if needed. I just love having all that space used by Fantasy Grounds. 5120x1440 is great and I even run FG at 125 setting for my old eyes :)

Right now I just have to envy your setup. I’ve been thinking on making a major investment/ upgrade to my home office to the tune of several thousand dollars- this would include an ultra wide and a high end pc. The current setup I have works ok but it’s six years old and I generally do a 5-7 year upgrade on my gaming rig anyway.

Yeah, it's like those 49" 5120x1440 monitors are perfectly made for running FGU.
