Hello, I would like to upgrade monitors from the small tv I currently have in my room to a legitimate computer monitor.  I’m seeking advice because I have a lack of knowledge and due to my special situation.  I like the wide/ultra wide monitors, but I don’t know if they will be useful to me, as I use my Mac for a variety of tasks but mainly entertainment through Netflix, YouTube, and gaming.  It is my understanding that only the gaming and increased screen space will benefit from a wide monitor.  I would also use this monitor for gaming on a Nintendo Switch, so would that be awkward using such a wide monitors for that purpose, or would it even work?  Would I be better off just increasing size in a conventional monitor (my current tv is 24in)?  Any advice helps, and thank you ahead of time!
