As the title says, I'm considering a UW. Thing is I'm starved for space. 25 inches is the smallest size of ultrawide available, but the thing is as high as a 19/20 incher.
Anyone tried one?
Is getting a 25inch uw a terrible mistake?

25 inch ultrawide is like 18 inches

you'd be better off with a 16:9 or 8:5 with the same width to have more real estate, unless it's the vertical space that's the issue
personally I'd use one as a second monitor in portrait mode

I have that monitor. It works well for me because it's about the right size for my table but it is pretty small.
You could easily be disappointed.

OP here. I guess it could work with a vesa arm to bring it up a bit in height. Right now I'm torn between that or a samsung 24 inch CFG73 . I don't care about the high refresh rate but the price is low and I'm a sucker for color, or a Dell P2418h. I use my pc mostly to write and cross reference material, which why I'm considering the ultra wide.
I guess if I wasn't limited in space I would go for 27 inch 1440p and call it a day

Looks pretty good and not that short to be honest (probably a matter of scale thought, the controllers look a bit big next to it)

The actual viewable area is just under 25cm high (about 10 inches).
So if you are quite close to the monitor it's not bad.

Looks neat.
I'll mimic a kotatsu setup for my next battlestation iteration.
