Is it a retina (4/5k) display you have? I'm using 13" MacBook pro which is nowadays almost always closed and have a 27" 4k display connected. I'm using BetterTouchTools for configuring window snap areas. If I'm doing web dev work, I have my browser at 1/3 width, and editor at 2/3.

MacOS caps the max resolutions in the display settings when it can push higher resolutions without any issues. try this: github.com/avibrazil/RDM. You might find you can ditch the second monitor.
