Literal meme. It won't work with many games and it will get you banned from many others for using a not allowed FoV.
>>55428831
>It won't work with many games
Yes it will, most games support 21:9 out of the box that I've tried, if it doesnt it's an easy fix with flawless widescreen.
I can never go back to 16:9 after this.
I'm pretty sure it is very useful for people using their computer to do actual work.
All sorts of engineering/design software and their junk left and right displaced further apart actually having space to see.
It's like /g/ cares about gayming only
>>55428213
They are nice because because of the position of our eyes, which can see farther from side of side than up and down.
Though, not too much supports them yet.
>>55428213
Gaming is amazing with ultrawide, the only problem you will be having is watching movies and such, because most of the time you'll have black bars unless you download like the blueray version, but that's ok - you'll get used to it and it's not really that big of a deal.
>>55429016
>unless you download like the blueray version
Everyone has been downloading the BD version for everything since like 5 years ago. I bet you're one of those plebs that torrent like 10GB movies and think the quality is great.
>>55429068
I usually just watch it on putlocker, because downloading all the movies and series I watch would take years.
>>55428213
It's weird once you go 21:9 you wonder why the fuck wasn't this standard from the start.
>>55429068
>10GB movies
I'm not into spending my monthly data cap on a single movie.

>Not grabbing that 100GB+ 4K movie from HDBits.

It's a 1920x1200 one. Considering the LG 34UC98
>>55428924
>if it doesnt it's an easy fix with flawless widescreen.
there are a few that have a problem or 2
but yea generally most modern games can output gameplay at 21:9, the cutscenes are still usually 16:9
if you play competitively, you should be going for a 144hz monitor anyways so it's a moot point
i don't own one or plan to own one for the time being, i ain't got the cash for it at the moment and getting a smaller 29/25 21:9 just isn't worth it unless you really like watching 21:9 movies are your computer via ripped blu rays
some games don't play nice, it's pretty rare, and most of the older games get broke by widescreen monitors already, going forward you'll likely get more and more support for the aspect ratio in games
if you multitask at all, they seem to be the bees knees, only getting beat by 4k screens, but with 4k screens you need a ton more video card horsepower to drive that at a decent clip compared to 3440x1440, you can get away with a single high end video card and get decent FPS

I literally don't understand the appeal.
>>55429808
Well I love strategy games.
It's a whole new world. Shit like Anno 2205 or EU4 or Stellaris look fucking fantastic.
FPS games feel more natural because of the bigger view.
It takes a fraction of power to run it vs 4k and it still looks fucking amazing.
You also get the bonus of not having bars while watching movies.
I mean I guess you're all coming from some shitty 1920×1200 monitors are all like. OH NO MY SPACE.
But if you get a 34" 3440×1440 you got more vertical space.
Compared to 4K 21:9 to me makes a whole lot more sense. Since our eyes are built that way.
If only they made a 500$ 21:9 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor.
>>55429888
What about 29" or 34" @ 2560 x 1080? Do people typically just buy 3440x1440? Seems to be way more expensive.
Is there a good ultrawide for under 200 dollarydoos?
>>55429199
shit man I get more data than that on my mobile.
>>55429966
Well you're a 16:10 fag so why it that a problem?
16:10 was always more expensive and is to this day.
16:9 on 29" like myself is as cheap as it gets to having a decent monitor
Mine has Freesync 75Hz and 2560×1080.
Buying a 34" 2560×1080 is being literally retarded if you ask me. Thats like buying 1920×1080 52" TVs. You're never gonna sit 6 meters away from it and play something. And we're talking about PC monitors here so you'll be sitting 0,5 from it at most.

Ultrawide = Discount 2160p
>>55431090
It's got it's advantages. Most 2160p displays are in the 27-28 inch range which means UI scaling is a must. Even with a 32 inch monitor its difficult to use at 1:1 scaling. Ultrawides have a much lower DPI.

For anyone who has one, when you play a game that doesn't support it, do you just run in 2560x1440 and then get black bars on the sides? and does this cause secondary monitors to kinds fuck up and shift things around?

UW is basically trading usable workstation desktop vertical space for maybe a little extra Hz if you're lucky.
Getting a 4k or a 2560x1440/1600 is usually smarter than going for 3440x1400 or 2560x1080, since you can actually see more in a window without having to scroll constantly.
Just use letterboxed resolutions for gaming if you can't drive something at your display's native capacity.
>>55433363

yea but there are literally no good 4K VA monitors. The TV screens from Samsung are all fairly shitty and smallest is either 40" or 43"
+Gorgeous, you can never have too much of a picture on your screen
-Most games do not support that aspect ratio, so in many games you're going to have black bars on the sides as you're locked in 16:9/4:3
Hilariously enough as a 3 monitor fag on 5760x1080 I do admit there are some shitty ports that make it look like a waste.
favorite was cod4 promod and the max is 90 FOV. Single player allows for 125 and I assume the 90 limit is to prevent it from being too much of an advantage. Needless to say 90 just is stretched to shit.
Also, in some cases even if it did support any fov and looked great, it forces the mini-map to be shoved in the left or right corner of the left or right monitor, and for some games it doesn't matter too much of the benefit that you can see wider when you are losing your mini-map. Best example is hacked AoE2 which allows for three monitors, cool as fuck except the mini-map is too far away and you are losing valuable information. In promod it was much more important to see the mini-map to know where someone was versus having a high fov which wasn't allowed anyway.
Best game was Wolf ET, you could code the HUD to be in the center, and 180 looked gorgeous and nothing was stretched at the edges like every other game. Outside of this, emulators are also great like PJ64 and dolphin since their huds are always in the center as well and racing games are fun with it.
>>55435940
>can't afford neither
This phrase means that he can afford to have both, or rather, not having both would be something he cannot afford.
Anybody use a vertical ultra wide? Do you feel like a god?
when games support it, it looks amazing. when they don't, it sucks. even games like dishonored from 2012 support it. not sure why some devs are so shit they don't have support for it.
it's great for writing reports and researching as well.
when i think about 4k, it seems cool, but to have a monitor that fills up this much horizontal field of view, you'd have to have something that would probably induce strain with respect to the vertical. can't say for sure, just an assumption.

>>55431375
Personally I just tune my display to match retina quality. (This is a combination of resolution, screen size and viewing distance)
For a 16:9 2160p display, you want to be sitting at distance that makes the display cover approximately 60° of your horizontal FoV. To achieve this effect, you could sit at a distance of 1.6 screen heights.
This gives you about 1 pixel per arcminute. Use http://isthisretina.com/ to calculate the optimal viewing distance / display diagonal for your desired configuration.

>>55437082
>>55437109
I decided to measure the aspect ratio of my glasses, which roughly resemble the aspect that I'd consider comfortable for processing information. (Going far outside of them on a regular basis starts to get uncomfortable)
This aspect is approximately 5.5 cm horizontally and 2.5cm vertically, a ratio of 2.2 : 1 (about 19:9).
Based on this alone, 21:9 is a pretty good fit (considering I have two eyes, and the area I measured is only one eye).
>>55437082
>He doesn't know about the golden rectangle.
>>55437142
Also, it should come to no surprise that my monitor configuration (big 17:9 next to a smaller monitor in portrait mode) is about 21:9 overall, and just about covers my visual range almost perfectly.
I could live with a big 21:9 display (e.g. something like a 40"-50" diagonal) at a resolution of around 6-8K.

Trying to decide if it's worth it to go 2560x1440 with 144hz, or just with G-Sync.
Plan is to upgrade from my 980 to a 1070, and look at maybe getting a second in the future (or maybe just a 1080?).
Way more Freesync monitors which is annoying, might just wait for the 490 release and see how that touches Nvidia prices.

I'm German. I'm sure if you actually used a portrait mode monitor for a few years you'd come to understand what I mean by horizontal movement being cheaper than vertical movement.
>>55437252
I don't use the "auto" mode that switches display modes depending on what application you're using, and I adjust the size of my windows myself, so basically I don't use it at all.
>>55437322
>my eyeglasses are roughly 21:9, thus 21:9 is the best aspect ratio.
My point was that, you focus on a small portion of your field of view whenever doing any work. When I use an ultrawide monitor, I have to essentially separate it into two 10.5:9 monitors by having applications open side by side. Otherwise, it's hard to focus on any particular piece of content.
>>55437709
(That said, I've not tried to game on one, so I can't give any meaningful input on the wider FoV for gaming)
>>55434583
CoD does it all the time. That's like 5 or 6 examples and there are many more.
>>55437736
+ every multiplayer game that doesnt allow FoV adjustment in it's menu you run the risk of a ban.
especially if its more than just a .ini tweak to change it. It's annoying me I can't think of anything currently, but I know of a few games that had bans for FoV changes as it's just detected as messing with the game files.

He's right though.
Regarding ultrawide screens: I'm actually leaning more towards going taller, as wider screens are sort of shitty for productivity.

Bullshit, I've been running 5760 x 1080 Eyefinity for years, which is wider than most ultrawides. It's fine.
assuming you want this aspect ratio for games (because why the fuck else would you), why not just buy a 3840x2160 at 28" or bigger and set game resolution to 3840x1600 if it's supported?

Ultra wide is a meme. Triple monitor is a meme. If you want screen real estate, might as well get a 40"<= 4k display and grab shitty second monitor for misc from the closet.
Why not just get a 40" 4k monitor and set the custom resolution to 21:9.
The only downside is that there are no tv or monitors that large with 144hz and gsync/freesync.

that would be pretty awesome, other than have large black spaces on the top and bottom of the screen, if you could offset it and make a program that takes some samples by cutting the image in 9/12 parts and averaging the tone of the image and changes the color of the black space to different colors near the color of the image being displayed and only do darker hues so it's not super noticeable
the only problem is overriding in-game setting to not use the whole screen

Are you mentally disabled?
Why do I even ask this?
>>55443350
No I think it's only fair if they keep stealing our content, we should get some back, even if it's shit tier
>>55443649
same thing with having a 40" 4k screen 2 feet away from your eyes, that would cause massive eye strain after a while and horizontal movement isn't as straining as vertical movement of either the eye or neck
>>55442234
nothing
waiting for 3440*1440 100hz or more without memesync
16:10 is master race
Ultrawide is retarded.
If you're going to get some 3440x1440 monitor, you could instead get a 4k monitor that is just as wide but also taller.
You're actually just giving up vertical resolution for no reason.
Gets my vote.
AHAHAJAHAHHBDB AHHAHAHA
Wait a sec..

Hey there brother. I feel like we're a dying breed in the sea of 16:9 and ultra wide. I wish I could a 2560x1600 monitor that didn't cost twice as much as the 16:9 equivalent. I might be best for me to accept it and move over to the plebeian aspect ratio.
Also its cheaper for them to manufacture wide screens. This was a factor in the death of 4:3
>>55444917
>>55444941
bullshit marketing images.

For your own sake I hope that room is hidden behind a false bookshelf

>>55444942
>Also its cheaper for them to manufacture wide screens.
it's cheaper to produce a lot of a certain screen, widescreens by themselves are not cheaper

W... what?
>>55444686
I can't wait for the 16192x1080 monitors that completely wrap around your head.
Why the fuck would you want that?
The human vision is close to 16:9. Making a screen even wider will just distort the screen or waste potential vertical space.
>>55445118
Movies are fucking 21:9 - or close enough.
>>55444836
¡Odélay, gringo!
>>55428213
How did you make your ps4 look like that?
>>55445133
Games should not try to be movies.
>>55437317
>Way more freesync monitors which is annoying
What are you smoking? In what world is it logical that a free technology being more widely available than an overpriced, patented copy should be "annoying"?
>>55445118
Human vision is close to 4:3.
>>55445133
Fuck movies.
>>55428213
Buy whatever you want. Who fuckin' cares about what someone else purchases? I'm on a gigabit connection myself in the USA and I switched most of my library back to DVD/SD/480/576 except for movies. Once h.265 is fully optimal and more devices support it then perhaps I'll move to 1080 maybe 4k depending on file sizes and quality.
>>55445990
to be fair, amd's is the copy, but it's free so who the fuck cares if amd came up with theirs first nvidia would've just used that no point in doing the same thing but making it cost more for you and the consumer when there's a free option out there
now the nvidia dumped money into it, chances are it'll never go away until we stop using monitors or invent a type of display that has an infinite refresh/response rate
>>55446050
Betamax was before VHS so it matters little.
I don't understand all the hate ultrawide gets related to games. A lot of games have native 21:9 support and it it doesn't, there is usually an easy fix. If there isn't an easy fix, or you need to use a 16:9 resolution, why not just set the resolution to a 16:9 resolution? All that happens is you get black bars at either side of the 16:9 picture.
>>55445059
Not gonna lie, had a chuckle at that.
>>55446067
i hope it ends up like betamax, if nvidia want to keep it around they need to make it open and make it part of freesync, hell maybe we need a bigger thirdparty to come in and make them play nice like intel supporting freesync with its integrated graphics
>>55446112
The situation between Freesync and Gsync seem almost the same here. Sony/Nvidia will ultimately shoot themselves in the foot. Freesync being more cost effective alternative to manufacturers similar in ways to VHS/Betamax will likely decide the issue.
>>55446152
Hopefully they will just continue selling both, I'd like to pick up a gsync monitor soon. Maybe the ultra wide, but most likely the 1440p 165Hz
What about a 1440p 21:9 supported by a 1440p 23" v sync monitor?
>tfw this thread has made me want to get an ultrawide monitor but I'm a macfag
>>55446152
I heard something like Freesync is mostly based on part of the display port spec that already existed, and modifying the controllers in monitors to use it is fairly trivial for manufacturers?
>>55428213
I like them. I use a 2560x1440 but the 1440 ultrawides look really nice in person.
>>55428213
Yes

ill edit your timeline
>>55446289
I've had no trouble using a 3440x1440 on an early 2014 MBA.
Dumb as fuck question, will an HD 4850 support a 2560x1080 monitor?
>>55449900
Over HDMI specifically.
>>55449900

max rez is 2560 x 1600 for the HD4850

I wanted an ultrawide until I found out Blizzard removed 21:9 from Overwatch, now Im probably just gonna get a 1440p 144hz.
>>55452251
I've heard blizzard doesn't like 21:9
>>55452371
Im only annoyed because 21:9 was in the beta, they removed it for pretty much no reason, other than whatever they came up with for competitive rules.

jeff kaplan mentioned it in the forums sometime last week

They're bringing it back though, confirmed by Blizzard

>>55452630
>>55452641
Oh well in that case I may get an ultrawide.
Now I gotta decide which one again.
>>55452448
>>55452630
I don't actually play overwatch, But I am torn between getting the Asus ROG 21:9 or the ROG 16:9 1440p 165Hz. I ran triple monitors for a short time about 3 years ago, the game I had the most issues with my skyrim, some of it's effects (snow flakes certain spell effects and the aura around ghosts) seemd to be tied to the horizontal resolution for some reason.
can someone please explain the benefits of a curved ultra-wide display vs. a normal ultra-wide display?
is curved even necessary or is it just a "wow cool" factor
>>55452974
As the owner of two curves monitors I wouldn't say they are "necessary" at all. I do however notice when I stare at a TV after using my monitors that I do tend to notice the corners are farther away and I can see how flat the image looks. Curved only works if the monitor is big and you sit directly in front and not off to the side. But it hasn't changed my life, it's neat but I could live without it.
>>55452685
All that expensive shit and you didn't step up to the 1080, unless you are waiting for the titan p or the 1080ti, you done goofed
>>55428962
It's not really that different from two screens in my experience. There's probably one program I use in research that benefits from having a single spanning window.
