I would be less scared of one of those monitors, if I could use them as two virtual monitors - that is, the OS would split it down the middle and treat them with separate wallpapers (if desired), along with the keypresses and mouse shortcuts associated with tiling/managing dual monitors.

I believe all of them have a "picture by picture" mode where left half shows one input and right half shows another input. You could achieve what you want with 2 cables. But I haven't felt the need for such use. I use Microsoft Powertoys to tile a 16:9 area in the center and two half width areas on the sides and I am very happy with that setup. I am sure linux window tilers have even better capability.
