Is one super wide screen better than two?

This week I spend some quality time with a Kogan 49-inch 32:9 SuperUltraWidescreen monitor and decide whether or not one really, really big screen is better than working with two separate monitors. From work to gaming, how does this fit into making a daily life at a desk better?

The monitor: Kogan 49-inch 32:9 Super Ultrawidescreen

Mac software: SizeUp by Irradiated Software

Windows software: AquaSnap by Nurgo Software
