You don't really need a second display. It pretty much is like having two panels side by side with no bezel. I use my desktop exactly in this manner.Lowest price ever on this, right?
I can barely fit my 2x 32s on my desk, so no way I'd be able to run this + a second display, but trying out ultrawide is still so tempting. Ugh.

It won't have the real estate two 32" will have, but no bezels, man.
Wait for the 38 inch gsync hdr ones coming out soon.
I had caved and ordered one Monday. Arrived tonight. It's... interesting. So far no flicker at 120hz. Viewing angles are much better than my VA panels. IPS glow sucks. I don't like the curved aspect of the screen at all. I also need to place it further away from me than my 32" 16:9 screen to be comfortable. Looks good though, and ultrawide is neat so far. Glad I jumped on the deal.
I already struggle to keep all 34" in my field of view. I'm not sure I could deal with a 38" ultrawide unless it was pushed quite a distance further back compared to the 34". At that point I think you'd need a much deeper desk or a wall mount to create enough distance. LOL.
Do you need to keep the whole monitor in your FoV though?
The point of ultrawides to increase immersion and give you a bit more peripheral vision. Seems like trying to keep the entire screen in focus would require it to be pretty far away and/or induce major headaches.
I wish it had a second HDMI input for my consoles though and HDR would be nice to have too, but not sure that's common on monitors still.
