*the FUNNIEST monitor comment I ever heard was...* A few years ago there was a discussion forum about the pros and cons of Ultrawides. At one point a guy said (and he was not joking) that he did tasks that worked better on Ultrawides, but he ALSO did tasks that benefited more from height... at which point he said he wished someone would design a monitor that was BOTH wider AND taller.

ultrawide is the best experience ive ever had, especially a curved one. only problem ever has been to get some older games to running and thats it, was well worth it.

I am really impressed by the way you make this really easy to understand and clear. You just ask all the questions I thought about. I was wondering if I would change my 1440p 165hz monitor for an UW, and you juste helped me in a very practical way. Thank you very much for the time you spent and the quality of your work. Happy to have found you channel!

Glad you touched on this subject. I don't think I'll be getting into ultra wide anytime soon. I love the visual quality of my 4k and may consider an OLED at some point in the future. I do own a 55" LG OLED but it's not as convenient has having a smaller one on a desk. I am itching to try it though, just to see what the quality is like.

I've couldn't have made a better choice. Using my 48" LG C1 O-LED as my gaming monitor and my 34"Ultrawide LG34 GK950G as my secondary screen I absolutely love this setup and the LG C1 is the best gaming experience I've ever had and would not trade it for any Ultrawide. Your content is awesome buddy, well done...

I might end up getting an ultra wide for my next monitor in the future. I like the idea of 21:9 for games with extra width to view more sides and for productivity it would be pretty amazing for that since I do that a lot as well.

Thanks for the video, great observations! I have a 48" C1, and in between ABL and maximum brightness, I much prefer my Aorus Fv43u for productivity and general desktop use, it's a good compromise and much cheaper than quality 38" 21:9's. For general content consumption and gaming, it's hard to beat OLED imo, given that the space is dark enough. In terms of ultrawide- my observation is that my vertical field of view is larger than 21:9 allows, especially on a 34-35" panel, the panel is just too short imo. However, curved panels are nice, especially as the panel gets bigger, regardless of aspect ratio.

Although this is not a standard... The oddesey neo g9 has decent local dimming so no glowing black bars.

Onestly i think you will turn into a tech channel. Keep it up! I bought an ultrawide. I see the cons, but the pro's are just great!

I have a Samsung G9 32:9 for 8 months now & I love it I had the best gaming experience ever especially on 240Hz also it's not just for gaming I use it for productivity 3D CGI stuff while working on 240Hz refresh rate with this massive extra space is something else what a breeze, But again everything has it's pros & cons & everybody is different but for me I found what I wanted from this monitor and that's what matters.

I like playing single player immersive games. I got an ultrawide LG screen and I love it. I have a 6900xt gpu though so it can pretty much run anything at ultrawide resolution on max settings.

I have an g9 49inch with an i9 10850k and a 3080 and it has a hard time running some games it's crazy 🤪

I agree, ultrawide monitors have quirks. It honestly sucks because I thought the industry was moving to wider displays especially after seeing super ultrawide monitors, but that never happened. I remember when everything was 4:3 and then 16:9 came around. Lots of games didn't properly support widescreen, and it was the same issue we have today. I didn't even upgrade to a widescreen LCD until the physical number of pixels was the same (1920x1200) as what I used on my CRT (1600x1200).

Great Vid- I bet Daniel is an awesome Teacher, great communicator. Have two 4k screens, one M32U and the other 42 inch LG Oled C2 with a 4090 and debating getting the new Samsung Oled G9 but hesitant as I hear people say that when your use to 4K like I am going back to 1440 P ultrawide is a downgrade.

I had a super ultrawide (CRG9) for years. Just recently went to a 32 inch 4k monitor and 28 inch 4k side panel and its overall a better experience

Hey Daniel, I'm an English teacher in Turkey and your stuff just cracks me up at times. They are so relatable, such is the life of teachers.

Msi MAG301RF has extremely good response time and it’s the best ultrawide I’ve used. Blacks are ok and colours are good with a little saturation boost. It’s 2560x1080p 200hz. Great price too!

Very well said! I game on an ultrawide, and love it, but buying an OLED seems like a better idea now that I see your video.

For gaming it's awesome if supported. However, the curve is beneficial it keeps things in peripheral vision in games and reduces neck and eye strain and also glare.

I currently use a 32X9 monitor, a Samsung CH90. When games scale well its nice. But it is certainly a PITA wondering if the game you want to play is gonna support it and support it appropriately. Frequently games just distort the hell out of peripheral content. FOV adjustments can help but overall its just a chore way too often. Your point that devs will incorporate ultrawide support as an afterthought as the vast majority of their audience is utilizing 16x9 is well taken. There are certainly many Ultrawide users that continue to exclaim they can not go back., and for the longest time I was one of them. But these new OLED 4k monitors (TV's) are a game changer IMO. I am currently saving to move on however my 3070 will compromise my experience at 4k. Still ill just dial down the settings until I upgrade my GPU.

I really enjoy UWQHD, even if you can't use it for that with all mediums. That said, for work and productivity with long timelines (music, certain video editing), etc it's just second to none. AKG K702's, noize.

Just got a Sony A90J, hooked my pc up on that ... 65" pc screen :) Im loving it.

Way back I loved the immersion of a 3x1 24" monitors. Then when a ultra wides came out I switched to 1 29" ultrawide center and 2 24" flankers. Amds eyefininty supports this resolution. Then super ultra wide came out and I've been wating to see a resonable priced one of those and i'd just game on one monitor after demoing those samgsung ones. Unfortunately the pannels are not the best they are samgsung va but i was willing to make the trade off when the price was right. But bow with the oleds being close in price (and with) makes this decision much harder.

I'm looking into a sceptre e275b ultra wide monitor looks good it comes with hdr 1000 and 600 as an option there are few reviews

Problems with the OLED method however. - Burn in ( Each pixel has a life expectancy you can't get around that. The middle pixels being used more will give burn in or color shift. ) - Desk space - curvature ( Ultrawide monitor Curve helps ALOT with distortions and immersion) - less quips as a native resolution won't have as many problems. ( for example halo infinite can't run fullscreen so for this to work on tv you would need to change desktop monitor resolution everytime as well.) -refresh rate ( tv will go to 120hz but many ultrawides will go above that like 144hz or even 200hz like my monitor )

You can turn any monitor or TV to an ultrawide with custom resolutions. I'm also using a 49 inches 4k TV as a monitor and setting Ultrawide ratio for gaming mostly to get more fps in games.

Will you be buying an intel GPU for benchmarking/testing? I know you want to get an RTX one to test DLSS, so thought I'd ask. Also I think the 2060 rerelease may be a good buy since it will probably be the cheapest new RTX card

I haven't had any issues whatsoever with my 34" 1440p ultrawide so far. Though, I mainly play racing and flight sims and some strategy games. In all of those it's a dream. So, from my perspective there's no going back to 16:9.

Hi Daniel, as usual, very informative and to the point. One thing you mention is that UW will provide more of an immersive feeling due to its curvature (which is very true)... but the curvature also serves another purpose. LED screens suffer from one particular drawback... when viewed at an angle, the colors wash out. The bigger the monitor, the more chances you will view the very side of the image, left and right, at an angle, thus the colors will be skewed. Hence the curvature... meaning with the curved monitor, the sides will not be viewed at angle so much, and the color integrity will be preserved. Now for OLED, this does NOT apply, since OLED can be viewed even at extreme angle and not have its colors wash out. So having a curved screen with OLED is not as necessary as it is for normal LEDs.

I thought about it but in the end it just didn't really make sense to me personally, so I just went with a traditional 1440p and couldn't be happier. I think they're great for coding and general workspaces, things of that nature but actual gaming set-ups? Nope, not for me anyway.

Asus Tuff 27 inch 1080p .5ms Free Sync is my go to. It's HDR10 - That just helps the ASCR. If you're not acquainted with ASCR it automatically adjust the brightness depending on what's happening on the screen. Aka the hardware version of Fake HDR in Reshade without the possible conflict with other shaders or performance penalty.

I bought my 34" ultrawide back in 2017, no plans to go back anytime soon, that extra width has been more useful than a detriment for me. The interesting thing I've noticed is that new shows (particularly sci fi) have started embracing the use of wider formats than 16:9, anywhere from 18:9 to 21:9.

Got c1 this week. How do you get this cool screen saver you got going behind you?

i went from an alienware aw3821dw ultrawide to the LG C1 and the very first thing you notice is it seems like the LG C1 actually curves the opposite way, getting used to an ultrawide with a curve and going back to 16:9 really messes with your mind, you know it does not curve backwards but that is how things like the taskbar look to your eyes for a while, after a week or two that goes away and the effect is no more. the alienware was an amazing monitor but it costs the same or a bit more than the C1 and the C1 image quality is a big step ahead.

I actually need the extra width for work. It’s pleasant for games - but yes absolutely dings performance. You need a higher end gpu for sure. And yes sometimes games don’t support the resolution - but usually they do.

I’ll never go back from Ultrawide again. I always loved Cinemascope aspect ratio and gaming in it is incredible.

Interesting, I had exact same thought process and went from ultrawide to C9 oled, after 6 months sold that and went back to a bigger ultrawide. A real monitor is just more responsive and no need for hassle waiting for tv to boot up after sleeping. Can't wait for a real oled monitor thats coming in 2022 though

on my second oled panel in the past 5 years, 2nd one is just starting to degrade again ... I use a 34" 21:9 and can't see myself going back to 16:9, it honestly only made me curious for 32:9

Great points that helped me a lot :) I'll go for a 16:9 then. But where did you get your shirt? Ive been looking for something exactly like that, Now when Im going back to the office.. Im not joking lol I mean it, plain Polo with decent fabric. Please tell me :)

*"by 30%... which increases your GPU load by about 30%.."* Sort of... It varies by the game quite a bit. In a racing game or first-person shooter when there's relatively more content in the MIDDLE the extra pixels at the side don't add as much processing load.

I own the G9 32:9 and I think it works great on all current games. you'll need a top notch GPU and CPU though. Buut if you got all of that, its fantastic!

I got the MAG301RF (great monitor btw) and I don’t see how I could ever go back to normal aspect ratio

I went from a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide, to a standard 27" 1440p display, which I like better for triple A titles. Now I'm about to try a 32 in 1440p display because you get 2 inches less in width than a ultra wide but you get more height, while still maintaining a 16x9 ratio

I have a 40 inch Phillips 4k monitor that has been running great for 4 years now. I will add a 34 inch ultrawide monitor at the top of my Phillips.

I got the LG C1 and I am using as a monitor for gaming and watching content, not for work. The LG C1 is amazing the picture quality is insane I dont want to go back to a normal monitor

I have an 34inch ultrawide 1440p paired with my 6900xt, most games allows a wider fov and it does helps me enjoy the game more

I've got two 32" 1440p monitors. Might pick up a 3rd at some point to complete the immersion. I like having the separate monitors because I can still play normal games on one, while having the other screen available. Wish they made OLED in this size

I've had my ultrawide for nearly a year now and despite the issues that come with it I love it, I highly doubt i will ever go back to 16:9

In my opinion, you missed a lot of reasons for and against and ultrawide in your video. This is unlike other videos where you've given very thorough reasoning about 4K on even a GTX 1060, when you can enable ray-tracing, etc. ## Fixed-aspect 2D games You said games don't or won't support ultrawide, but it's also the case that fixed-aspect-ratio simply don't work in ultrawide modes. Think popular 2D couch games like Samurai Gunn and Towerfall. You'd have to redesign the levels. Same with retro games. At 4:3, they end up taking an even smaller area of your total screen :p. ## 500 extra pixels of height at 4K over ultrawide height In games, you used to be restricted to your monitor's aspect ratio when choosing resolutions in games. Not only can you run at ultrawide resolutions with a 4K screen, but you can also run them windowed or borderless windowed and put chat apps or other apps in the remaining space. I used to run games in widescreen on my 4:3 CRT and would put other windows in the remaining space. ## Resolution differences You said ultrawide means more GPU power requirements, but that's only at the same resolution. In terms of what I've seen ou there, it's 1080p stretch, 1440p stretch, and 1600p stretch (4K width). I actually use a significantly lower amount of GPU power on my 3840x1600 ultrawide (4K width) than a 4K display, but render 2 million less pixels and have the ability to run at higher framerates. ## Technological limitations of 4K displays The larger and more diverse your pixel count, the less-likely it's going to include gaming-specific features. 3840x1600 ultrawides are a common these days and can get 120-160Hz and offer 10-bit color at those refresh rates with HDR. From what I've seen 4K displays max at 120Hz because the technology of DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 can't handle more than that. So while 120Hz vs 120Hz is the same, 160Hz feels even smoother, but that's not gonna be an option on a 4K display even if you run it at an ultrawide resolution. That's the biggest issue I've had looking at 16:9 displays. At a sufficient size and resolution, the actual display, even if run at a lower res, does not support higher framerates like you would've gotten with CRTs. ## Size differences You noted that with 32:9, it's going to be wider than a 16:9 display unless you're buying a 60"+ 16:9 monitor. But it's more than that. For instance, I have a 38" ultrawide. To get an equivalent pixel per inch at 4K, it'd need to be 43". Just like 32:9, I'm running into a situation where the height of the screen is going to result in problems. ## Movies and other content consumption Movies are typically 21:9 or wider, so if you consume a lot of movies, ultrawide is more beneficial because you can watch at the intended aspect ratio without letterboxing. I know not everyone uses their PC for content consumption, but many watch KZfaq. Dunno if you knew this, but Linus Media Group sometimes releases 18:9 videos because that's the lowest mobile device aspect. It's a great in-between from 16:9 and 21:9 so you get black bars regardless, but it's wider than normal. I'm assuming there are other creators doing this as well, but maybe not that many? Heck, my Surface Pro tablet is 3:2 so it's even less screen being used. ## Mobile devices You said consoles need 21:9 for it to be anything more than an afterthought (which I agree), but what about mobile hardware? Sure, the Nintendo Switch is 16:9, but all new iPhones and Android devices are 18:9 or more these days and have been for a while. That means there's definitely developer support, just not so much on the platforms that include games I wanna play. Still, if phones have a different aspect ratio, support is going to be more common than you think, but yes, TVs are very limiting in this regard. ## The curve I think you overlooked the curve because you said you don't like it. That gives me the impression you don't understand why it exists. It's not for immersion, it's for correcting perspective (I read an article about this a while back, but don't have a link on hand). Maybe it doesn't make sense at 16:9, but when I look at large, flat screens (even 16:9), they look convex as if the sides are actually being pulled backward. It actually matters how close you're sitting to a curved screen to how flat or curved it looks. More curved, like 1800R, is going to be for people sitting closer where as 3800R is for people sitting further away. TVs typically don't have curves because they're designed to be watched by multiple people at all angles and are far enough away that the curve is unnecessary. At larger sizes, like 120", cruves start to matter especially at ultrawide resolutions that you'd see in movies. That's why movie theaters have curved screens and that's why it's actually very important to have a curved screen when sitting close up to a very large display (especially your OLED).

Actually first on any video this time, hyped to watch too !!

one thing that's been much harder for me with my ultrawide is running my 3440x1440 is trying to run games at standard 1440p without stretching the aspect ratio. anyone have any tips?

How can u sit so close to such a big screen damn... I bought an ultrawide 34 inch and I cant Imagine a bigger screen than that, Its perfect for me. I went from a 16:9 24 inch to a 21:9 ultrawide 34 inch. Havent played on it yet but gonna played on it yet.

I didn't know this was new just clicked bc it looked interesting.

I have mixed feelings on this. I like ultra wide for PC gaming. If I were soley gaming on PC I would be ultra wide 100% of the time. I have an ultra wide and when I use it I'm in heaven. However, I also play on consoles. Mainly on Switch and those black bars when playing on my monitor were distracting in Metroid Dread for example.

You should throw in an Super ultrawide in that mix. 32:9. Almost 4k

Went UW about 5 years ago and there's no way I'm going back. Games, browsing, general productivity, movies, everything is so much better Currently have an X34 Predator 100hz Gsync and an LG 29uc88, overclocked to 80hz with CRU, Freesync, as my 2nd monitor (the one I started with)

How is installing a mod a hassle ? You literally can download and install such mods for less time it takes for your game to load

i love love love ultrawide as somebody who runs one monitor. probably wouldn't care too much for it if i had multiple specialized displays. besides, 27/34 inch wide is just the perfect size for me.

I love my 34'' UltraWide monitor. It is extremely versatile. + Space sim games look astonishing!!! + Perfect for movies with this ratio as they fill the entire screen. Not having black stripes up and down. + Perfect for work (splitting windows or stretching big excel tables) Only minus is it only 60Hz. And having more Hz gets very expensive.

got no problems with a bit screenstretching so i put my ultrawide on 16:9 and 1440p beast

6:27 that's what I'm doing with my 1440p 27" monitor since my GPU is aging. though it's not an OLED display

I've never used an ultrawide, but here's why, given my main use case is gaming, and we all have limited desk space: 1. Many games that will put HUD elements well off into your peripheral vision on an ultrawide. My friend with an ultrawide has this issue. Minimaps and chats require you to take your attention off the center of the screen. 2. If you want discord, browser, youtube, hwinfo, etc. visible alongside your game, you are much better served by having multiple monitors. Ultrawides take desk space I would rather use for extra monitors. In theory you could split the ultrawide into virtual monitors, but this either needs support in the monitor (extremely rare) or in software (neither nvidia nor AMD have done this in drivers, alternatives like displayfusion get overriden by fullscreen apps which defeats the point). 3. This is more subjective, but I don't buy the simplistic argument that immersion equals resolution plus field of vision, and that you should be pushing for the maximum here. Stuttering and poor framerates are far bigger immersion killers for me than being able to see the edge of my monitor (which my brain is pretty good at tuning out). Pushing up the resolution past the point of diminishing returns makes stutters and poor framerates more likely. Plus the logical endpoint to the "ultrawide equals immersion" idea is VR headsets. Turns out that too much visual immersion gives you motion sickness when it's not matched by movement immersion. So the ideal would be a single ultrawide that you can subdivide at will for whatever tasks you are doing (including "full screen" tasks), that doesn't seem to exist at the moment (if nvidia or AMD do this, they have pretty much secured my upgrade dollars). So I stick to my current multi-monitor setup, where my fullscreen games go on the middle screen.

I mean if I have an issue with the game I just play it in 16:9 and don’t bother. Still extremely useful for windows, productivity, and for games when they work (most do).

Ultrawide 1440p since 2016.. The Asus pg35vq was very expensive, but that hdr 1000 and at 200hz is very nice 😀

Instead of OLED's, Micro LED TV's are a better bet. No burn-in and still very small dimming zones. Note Samsung G9 Neo has zones so for the "most" part it does same thing as OLED's if you "trim" the sides by playing normal 1440p. I have the non-neo G9.. and do agree that some games are not designed to work on it. There is another point you missed. That most games, even if they "work" on ultra wide's, they "stretch" the edges, making objects "wider" as well. It is an annoyance for sure. Still as you stated, productivity is better, eg, showing timelines and such.

Here's the way I look at it: I currently use two 24" 1080p60 16:9 monitors side by side, for a total combined resolution of 3840x1080, overall aspect ratio 32:9. Because my desk is assymetrical, I sit in front of the left monitor, and so the right half of the right hand monitor is pretty distant and difficult to read. Going to a single 34" 1440p144 21:9 monitor gives a resolution of 3440x1440. That's a whopping 400 pixels narrower, and 360 pixels taller. A 34" ultrawide is physically taller than a 24" wide, so I will actually gain vertical screen space, which will be nicer for coding. I tend to tile my left monitor in vertical halves, and have KZfaq or something fullscreen on the right monitor. Now I'll just tile the monitor in thirds. And, I'll be able to use my entire screen space for gaming, which my GTX-1080 should be able to handle, and the RX6800 I want should be able to handle with aplomb.

I owned two ultra wide monitors Loved them so much. U will only get back bar in cut scenes like in rdr2 Gameplay is full screen That G9 49 inch curved omg yes I use wide angle for iracing and flying But …. All the far cry’s and more supported 21.9 for awhile now . I did switch too … Back to 16x9 Samsung G5 32inch curved 144hz Loving 🥰 it

I love my ultrawide. Imo, it looks very sleek on the desk.

5:10 what game is this?

A comment regarding movie All bluray movies are 16:9, even ultra-wide movies are 16:9, the top and bottom black bars are embedded in the frame, so: 1. A 16:9 movie on a 21:9 monitor will have black bars on left and on the right. 2. A 21:9 movie on a 21:9 monitor will have black bars on left, on right, on top and on bottom. To fix this you need an option to zoom to fill the whole display. 3. If you use 1440p WIDE or ULTRA WIDE monitor, you are zooming the frame of a bluray movie, you upscale the picture and upscaling is not a feature of a monitor, it doesn't have any algorythm to see if you watch a movie in a higher resolution than the original resolution of the movie. An 1080p movie will look best/crisper/more detailed on a 1080p display. A 1080p movie on 1080p OLED will look better than on a 4K OLED. There is no perfect upscaling technology for a 1080p movie to look correct on a 4k/1440p display, even LESS on a monitor that do nothing to anything you watch on it. A TV is more suitable for upscaling. 4. For 4k movies, you need a 4k display (doh). That means 3840x2160 and no other BS of resolutions.

I upgraded to an 34 inch ultra wide and couldn't be happier

Letterboxing on OLED is a good way to give yourself burn-in

I’m very happy with my ultrawide, I enjoy the immersion in gaming I get plus the extra screen real estate I get on the sides for work. And I wouldn’t enjoy having a huge 48 inch 16:9 screen a foot away from me since at that size i would have to look up to see the screen and I think that’s too uncomfortable.

I play one (1) game .. Call of Duty multiplayer .. that's it and no desire for anything else. I think the most important aspect is finding the right 21:9 monitor paired with a great game and the right GPU / PC. My thoughts .. I currently have an Acer $650 2560x1440, 165 Hz, G-Sync with a IMO meh VA panel. I can certainly tell the difference between 165 FPS / Hz and a mediocre 120 Hz .. sense of motion. I have a really nice Sony OLED TV, but there's a zero chance of me using it to game on and the thought of it seems absurd. However, what I've been drooling over is a minimum .. 200 Hz+, G-Sync (Ultra), curved (minimum 1800R) with the "dream" of someone using an OLED panel. A while back I thought Dell was going to release an OLED gaming monitor, AFAIK it never went past prototype. I've been looking at the Acer X35, ASUS PG35VQ, LG 34GP950G and similar monitors. All running on a new Alder Lake build with my year old RTX 3090 FTW3 .. *but* I have no desire for 4K .. to be competitive, I'd need to run two RTX 3090s in SLI and for whatever stupid reason SLI is toast. 21:9 I feel will give me a slight competitive edge. I'm getting older now and I need every piece of help possible.

There are no cons to own a 21:9 monitor . Just more real estate .

If i cant run the game at ultra+rt at 60+ fps, i just wait till i upgrade my gpu, now im at 3090ti and i cant play witcher 3 next gen at 60 plus fps(i get like 45-55 at 3440x1440 with dlss quality)

when i purchased the xiaomi ultrawide, some how it helps me surf and play at the same time, and yeah, i know it will bit suffer on the demand but its okay, and i got this on sale :'D before my old 1440p 144hz 27" somehow broke down after 2 years (cant be blame, its a cheap one i got after im done with my pc since 2019 :'D)

Maybe a few years ago. But now, generally every game works well.

The OLED is too big for me, but I would choose it if it was max 34 inch ultrawide. I had Samsung C34F791 ultrawide - curved, but it eventually obtained vertical lines due to transportation. So now I got Gigabyte m34wq ultrawide - not curved. The additional space in ultrawide gives me so much needed space at my office work and after work I can enjoy immersive gaming experience. I loose some FPS, but I do not care about it. I think I'll never going back to 16:9 ratio.

it's good to have two monitors on the table: 16:9 and 21:9

been using 21:9 for 3 yrs. I will never go back to 16:9.

my odyssey g9 does my head in..... amazing and immersive when it works absolute nightmare when it doesn't

The big downside is having to have a beefy GPU to run on a ultrawide. It's basically you making the commitment to buy the best GPU every launch.

The best solution is getting a 65" and sitting less than 2 feet away. All area visible with your eyes is covered. No need for a 2nd monitor. Only downside: You have to turn your head for content in the corners.

I bought a 40" curved 4k monitor cos it can simultaneously simulate a 38" ultrawide at 3840x1646 resolution. I only wish it was 120hz and HDR.

Worth it.

For gaming it doesn't matter to me. I grew up with 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and eventually 21:9. I can game as any ratio. When it comes to productivity however, it's 21:9 or nothing. I don't think I could go back to 16:9 unless I have no choice.

Have been using a 49" AOC Super ultra wide (5120x1440), for the last 4 months. At first, I was hesitant as most say the support is non existence, peripherals are messed etc etc. In short, I will never go back to 16:9, all games (except fallout 4), supports SUW perfectly, all new RTS, FPS, racing etc support it.

I have 3 32" 1440p monitor have no problems

An OLED ultrawide 😎

For me it was worth it, im running 34 inch 2k ultrawide. Now im thinking about 32:9 2k, samsung g9 neo 49 inch. Now there will be problems

Ultrawide is colloquially 21:9. It's actually 43:18 which means it's 3840x1600 like my monitor.

I had a 32" 4k monitor... Decided to sell it and get a 35" ultrawide. I've always regretted that decision. I've never likes the ultrawide (it's good for work and multiple spreadsheets). And I MUCH prefer gaming on the OLED TV, which just embarrasses the IPS panel.

i find it rather ironic the halo gameplay you show is letterboxed top/buttom ;D

imagine gaming on an imax screen.. now THAT would be immersive.

4 years with 32:9, never go back 21:9. You got issues with ultrawide, I got no issues with Super ultrawide.

I think in 2026, ultra wide monitors will be worth it🙃maybe then all problems will get fixed completely.

the Samsung odyssey g9 Neo is amazing

i have paired my rtx 3070 with a 1440p monitor. 1440p is perfect for rtx 3070 but my monitor is 32 inches , its too big for my eyes , plus I have small PC desk/table. I think ultra wide monitors are too big for a PC desk , its like a TV. I am actually thinking about selling my monitor and getting a smaller 27 inch monitor.

I don't like them because of the way it makes many games look. The right and left side of the game look stretched out which does not really add anything in term of FOV. It's just the regular sides but stretched. Good for working on them but for gaming not so much.
