What are the advantages of a split screen?

A split ultrawide screen offers more overview and productivity. You can open multiple applications at the same time without constantly having to switch between windows. This is ideal for multitasking, such as working on documents while viewing reference material, or during video editing where timelines and previews need to be visible. A split screen offers the advantages of a dual-monitor setup without physical borders between the screens.
