> Three people were selected for the study: the first person received a 24” monitor, the second participant – a 25” monitor with a 21: 9 aspect ratio, and the third participant – two 24” monitors.

The "ultrawide" monitor in this test is 1" bigger than one of the 24" monitors.

How the heck does this get counted as some kind of valid "ultrawide" comparison? Doesn't seem legit at all. :(

Not area-wise. It's going to be shorter as well, which would make it worse for programming related tasks :|
