Ultrawide 21:9 or nothing :D

I saw your link above and that 35-inch looks dope... but the 27-inch monitor is gigantic. I cannot imagine having larger. I don't know enough to understand what the 21:9 means tbh.

Aspect ratio.

16:9 (wide-screen) is the aspect ratio of TV, monitor, YouTube videos.

21:9 (cinemascope) is the aspect ratio for ultrawide screen. Some movies with this aspect ratio looks great (the movies where there are black bar on top & bottom are designed for ultrawide screen). So are most games, you get more field of view and a slight advantages from seeing more than others can.

I'm not competitive enough to buy a 25 inch 240hz gsync monitor (and my RTX 2060 can't ever produce that many fps on high/ultra setting anyway). Those are the go to monitors for ultra competitive player who plays in tournaments. I just like a pretty pictures, and more immersion (curve screen) when I play a lot of single player games lol.
