Thoughts on ultrawide monitors?
>>
They're certainly very wide.
>>
>>345008270

if you play a game that doesnt support it youre up shit creek
>>
Great for desktop use.

OK if a game supports it, but for nearly 90% of PC titles that do not, it is useless.

I see it as a good side monitor, but not as a primary one.
>>
>>345008270
totally retarded, not only is it incompatible as fuck with a lot of things, 90% of the time there's no benefit to being able to see another 5° on either side of you when you easily lose quadruple that in vertical FOV, all so you can brag about your niche display size. Every retard I know who dumps a ton of money into an ultrawide or more than two monitors barely plays games and just spends most of their time jacking themselves off over their setup.
>>
That's a big monitor
>>
I heard it doesn't even support Overwatch, what a meme.

>blizzard unable to get their games to function on anything besides 16:9 and 16:10

not even surprised famalam

My TV is that ratio. It can be a bitch to get some things to fill it.
>>
>>345009160
i think you started talking about your TV and ended talking about your boipussy

>literally had to focus in on one pixel each to see that
damn dude

>>345008270
waste of money, get a dual/triple monitor instead.

>More than two

No, anon. I love having three monitors. I've been trying to position my laptop as a fourth also, just don't have the room. Having the ability to have information/chat and shit on one monitor, work or just browser on main, and then a third dedicated to having media content playing is great.

Looks nice for server management and game developing

>>345009041
last patch added support to 21:9, though. Currently only available on PTR, people say it's going to be public next week
>>
>>345008270
Only good for desktop work, MMOs, RPGs, and movies. I would buy one if they didn't cost so much.
>>
>>345009964
people are complaining about it though because it isn't "true" "native" 21:9 support, due to blizz wanting to keep POV capped across the board.
>>
>>345008270
Not enough games support them without backyards programs. Overwatch is gimped if you paly it ultrawide

I would love one, but I'm not sure how often I'd benefit from it. Same with my 144hz monitor, I regret not getting a 1440p because I don't notice a big enough difference from 60 to 120.

plebs

>>345008723
most games coming out now support ultrawide, no where near 90%
>>
>>345009964
The blizzard way of doing it gimps your horizontal vision. People on smaller monitors actually see more than you and thats just stupid.

Really great for multitasking, so if you're someone who hates having multiple windows open (for whatever reason) UWDs will not be for you.

I'd call it a must in offices though.
>>
>>345010626
>>345008723
It's actually much higher than 90%. It's more like 99% when you count all the games.

And most new games -do not- support it.

16:10 is rare, 21:9 is mostly unheard of.
>>
why are you guys bickering over support
just check out pcgamingwiki
>look up games you spend most of your time playing
>oh look they do/don't support uwd
>buy a uwd or dont

its that easy™

They are reasonable priced.

>>345010908
>All that empty space

This is why I prefer my three monitors, even though two of them are shit.
>>
>>345011149
Just run with applications in windowed mode.
You dont have to have everything maximized.
>>
>>345011149
Hence why I said, multitasking. If you're already using multiple monitors for multitasking with a bunch of windows open, having them all opened on one (or more) uwds is pretty great and still gives you plenty of room.

no it's not.
