I have Never owned an Ultra Wide Monitor, for me the Max Resolution I want/can use is 1080p. Do they scale or stretch or? I am not sure how they go “wider” if that makes sense.
I haven’t owned one myself either, but judging from my experience going from 4:3 → 16:10 → 16:9, once Windows detect your monitor’s capable resolution, it’s a global setting that becomes available as an option for any app/game that lets you select, as if support is built into them already.
I figured it wouldn’t be any different going to 21:9, as I never had to zoom, stretch, or see black space “fillers” when it comes to gaming. Watching/streaming movies on your PC, on the other hand, may be a different story…
I could be wrong though. Maybe games need to have that support, like today’s games vs games that came out long before such resolutions were a thing.
Thanks for the reply, my only concern is older or even some current Graphics cards won’t be stable or w/e with Ultra Wide Monitors, gonna try to buy one ASAP and try one out on my laptop…that MAY be the only way I’ll know unless I get more info…then if it does not work well I hope I can get a refund.
Thanks for the reply! Enjoyed your opinion(s).
running a 34 inch ultra wide here… can confirm it does scale. you see more of the sides
personally recommend

nice! is a 34 in ok for close or far/mid viewing? I play pretty close…or like too. I was thinking 25in at first…unsure.
I sit about 2 feet-ish from the monitor and I like it… but I’m guessing if you sit closer then the 29 inch ultra wide might be better… ?
if there is a Best Buy around your place and they have the ultra wides in stock then it’s probably worth it to just come in and check them out
