What's the point in an ultrawide display?
I can just run a 1440p 16:9 display in 2560*1080.

Cheaper?

I don't know really.

I just want 3:2 displays. The squarer the better.

What's the point in a 16:9 display when I can just run my 1200p CRT at 1600x1900?
>>
After a month you won't like going back to 16:9.

>>52506413
Most decent 16:9 displays are at least 3840x2160.

>Pros

Price wise might be better, you can find 21:9 monitors for cheaper than 2k ones.

Movies and games are a different thing there. For compatible games shit's immersive. For movies, you get rid of the bars completely.

Some editing applications take advantage of it.

Might be a decent replacement for 2 monitors.

>Cons

Scaling doesn't work amazingly on OSX, I would suppose a 1440p ultrawide monitor would be better

Quite a few games are not compatible with this, gotta rely on mods

You better use displayport, otherwise you might run into issues

21:9 jew-sync monitors go for £800
1440p ones are £430

They are called apple fags anon, they eat the shit out of their own hands instead of the street

Like I said, "might". If you go cheap then the cheaper 21:9 LG monitors are still cheaper than the cheapest 16:9 2k monitors you can find. You can go as low as 170 bucks for a 21:9 monitor these days.
