@@AncientGameplays your statement for LCD was for a TV, then you claimed to have done a research the first uw monitor and ended up with the LG one XD on a similar vein though, years ago I also saw a picture posted in a forum that John Carmack played Quake 2 with a 16:9 1080p CRT monitor from 1995 or something O_o before that I thought 16:9 came in early 2000s.
i bought a 21:9 monitor before realizing games on the series x and in general many games only support 16:9 and am sad :( bought on ebay so cant return either
After a lot of confusion between the 32:10 (49 inch) Vs 16:9 (43 inch) . I got the 43 inch because I can force the game to run in 32:10 and still get 39 inches of screen space. And infact run games in a myriad of aspect ration including 24:9 or 25:9 with about 39 to 40 inches of screen space which I think is incredible.

Hi from Texas, I really needed to see this video, thank you for the work, the graphs taught me that I do not need to go to 4K, but can enjoy 3440x1440 with no troubles. Great work here, as always!
Watched until the conclusion, you always organize your content so good. I have a 1440p ultrawide, Days Gone and Horizon are awesome in that aspect ratio even Gears 5, with my 6700 they run smoothly. I also prefer this one to work, I"m a software developer and having a lot of text on the screen helps a lot. The only downside is that some old games that I play don't have support for 21:9. And if they have it is a pain in the ass to implement it, dealing with HEX codes even install third party software! I don't like that, I just want to play hehe.
What is text like on the screen? Which monitor do you have pls? Does Ultrawide make 1440p acceptable on 32 inches in the way that it might not on 16:9, where the recommendation is 4K? Wud love to know all about your experience. Looking to get a 27in 16:9 or perhaps 32 Ultrawide and if 1440p is good it could make it both affordable and a good choice. Many Thx
@@MrW8ns3a Hey there, Currently I have a Samsung sj55w, 34 inches 1440p ultrawide (work), and a Dell sw3422dwg (gaming), same diagonal and resolution but higher refresh rate (144 Hz). IMO the text looks good, it is not as clear as a retina display though. I sit between 70 and 90 cm away from the monitor. 1440p in a 27 inch monitor would look the same as in a 34 inch ultrawide one (as long as the latter is 3440x1440). Both have the same ppi (around 110). In my experience, 100 to 120 ppi is the sweet spot. And I don't recommend a 32 inch monitor with 2560x1440 resolution because it will look the same as a 27 inch one at 1080p. Unless you will see it from a distance longer than 1 meter.
I have a triple screen racing cockpit using 3 LG 21:9 screens, and it's amazing. The peripheral vision effect you get is incredible, the side screens almost reach behind your ears. It works out to 7680*1080, and exactly matches the 4k pixel count. But going from the start button to the notifications panel with the mouse pointer is ughhhhhh.
@@orkhepaj I had to make my own brackets and it was a major pain to get everything lined up, but worth it. Probably just buy an Odyssey G9 next time and keep my hair 😁
I use ultrawide monitor (2560x1080) for the first time since early June, its best monitor ratio in my opinion. thanks for great video as usual :) have a good day!
TV's? I dont recall ever seeing a UW TV, movies sure, but that's it (oh and certain phones I guess, which I hate since full screen videos never perfectly fit the screen). Stop pushing for that useless cr@p, plz
Entirely random and arbitrary artistic choice that emerged from technological limitations (first movies being recorded with anamorphic lenses leading to the 2.39:1 format becoming the norm) and pedantry (filmmakers trying to differentiate movies from "made for TV" works), if you wanna go down this route you might as well defend that everything be recorded/played at "cinematic" 24 FPS.. And no, not all big budget shows and movies are recorded in that format, who told you that? You can still find even recent movies recorded in 4:3 format.
Honestly this is a fantastic video. I have a 5700xt coupled with an old 1080p ultrawide. I really wanted to upgrade but thanks to this video I know I can't justify buying a 1440p ultrawide because the performance is decreased by a little too much. Gonna suck tho when it comes to productivity
I am so glad you covered this! More tech tubers need to do the same. I switched to 3840x1600 UW and I simply can never go back. During a recent move, I was gaming on my 6800m laptop with a 15in screen 16:9 and I suffered lol. Helps a lot during competitive play and is an absolute pleasure in story games to see so much on the screen at once.
21:9 is not going to help in competitive gameplay. The only purpose it serves is that it is more immersive for gamers that believe they need to feel like they're in the game. Esports do not use UW monitors, so that should tell you something.
@@Hachiko814 Theres lots of reasons they use non wide lmao, Desk Space, Sponsors, cheaper, faster response times with less demanding res, I get your point but I played lots of competitive in rainbowsix even traveled brazil and uw helps a lot with overall visibility also takin into account I play at 1440p, but the space that demands a uw monitor is tipically bigger than usual and 16:9 is something theyve got used to it and they know how close and how far it feels better, imo if a expro tries ultrawide most would enjoy it and get advantage of the bigger screen
@@Hachiko814 I was just going to point out the extra Frametimes in the shooter titles shown in this video. That will really cut down on the players reaction time. I'm actually surprised by how much the Frametimes go up! Glad I saw this video before building my next PC. I was going to go from 1080p Ultrawide to 1440p Ultrawide, but not after seeing this. I don't mind loosing in my shooter games, but if I'm going to loose, I want it to be because I was outplayed, NOT because my hardware limits my reaction time.
Hi man. I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700XT gpu. I'm curious, since you used that card before, whether it will be able to push 2560x1080 resolution or not. I am planning to buy a cheap 29 inch 1080p ultrawide monitor to try it out and see if I will like such a monitor and experience. Thanks!
I went directly to 21:9, and yes, it's true what everyone says. Once you have 21:9 you won't wanna miss it by going back to 16:9. I have 24-inch 16:9 screens at work, but 21:9 34-inch slmonitor at home. CS2, GTA online, delta force, Cyberpunk all on the highest settings and it runs smoothly. I cant imagine going back again. The black bars appear when you watch 16:9 movies but you get easily used to it basically immediately. Thabks for you video!
Just picked up a 34inch ultra wide recently because I not only wanted to game on it, but also use it for work. Nice to have all the space without requiring a dual monitor setup but the immersion you get while gaming is amazing. I upgraded my video card from an RTX 2060 to a 6600XT that I was able to pick up at a decent price considering the market. Most of the games I play run well even at max settings. Only a few require turning the graphics settings down to get above 60FPS.
@@jonr7364 it really depends on what games you plan to play. 3440x1440 is about 25% more pixels to draw over regular 1440p. From what I have seen, you usually get about 10-20 less fps going from 1440p to 1440 ultra wide. You can possibly look up some 1440p benchmarks with a 3060 then subtract about 10-20fps to get a ballpark estimate of the fps you will get at 1440 ultra wide. Of course you can use DLSS and/or FSR upscaling to help depending on what each game supports.
This is video from an era that I was not following Fabio but again it is very helpful as I am on the verge of getting a 3440x1440p 144Hz monitor from Xiaomi for 300$.
@@AncientGameplays Fabio, please explain like you are explaining to an idiot in front of your self bro. I'm currently using a VA monitor from AOC which is CQ32G1 and just want to move for a 21:9 experience.
Thank you so much, I am bulding a new pc and i was unsure if i should go for 1440p ultra wide or not, this video was very helpful, now i feel more confident in choosing ultra wide.
Great job on the research and comparing and testing different games to make solid arguments about the monitors and performance. Most of the videos I watch and games I play on PC, consoles and emulators are 16:9, so I will keep using wide monitors, until my reality of consuming and creating media changes and I don't compromise my overall experience with ultra-wide monitors
Awesome video. I already have a 1440 UW, but still wanted to check out the 4k 16:9 to compare performance. Since tvs only come at 4k 16:9, and sometimes I like to game on a tv to be more chill and comfy. Kinda sad that UW tvs didn’t catch on, because it is going to be hard to go back to a 16:9 tv lol
You are not alone lol ,personally I'd like them adopting the 21:9 aspect ratio rather than the 32:9 super ultrawide one , and being at a size of 34-38" max more than that IMO is too big for a PC monitor, even a curved one . so we will probably end up with a resolution of 5210X2160 which is 11,059,200 pixels (a little over 11 millions), 4K 16:9 is 8.3 million pixels so the pixels difference is 2,764,800 or 2.7 million. so running it as long as you don't run out of VRAM should be around 31% less performance than regular 16:9 4K.
@@bardavidson2102 I'd still want a 21:9 aspect ratio at 34" because to me the point is increasing PPI for ultrawide. Also, the more obscure the ratios and screen sizes the less likely they are to get made. That'd be 5040x2160, so 10,886,400 pixels. So that's 24% more pixels than 4K. Not so bad when you think about it. Especially with tech like DLSS and FSR now.
I came here studing the parts for a new PC, and decide to do some research regarding 16:9 4K monitors, but having played on a ultrawide monitor for over 7 years I don't think I can go back to smaller monitors, its just too imersive. I don't mind missing out on 1ms response time and some 30ish fps....Its worth it
The exact video I needed. I've been using 34in UW monitors since 2017 and I really love them, but I'm going to try out a regular 27in 1440p one because I want those extra fps. I have a 6950XT and 5800X, but in many games with ultra presets I only get 80-120 fps and I hate the feel of a game when it dips below 100fps. And for me, a game doesn't really start to feel super smooth until 120+ fps. So I'm hoping a standard 1440p monitor will give me the feel I'm looking for. I'll still keep my UW hooked up as a secondary display because I love having it for regular use. I love it for gaming as well, but I love fps more! :D
I used to had like 2 1080p monitors and I thought it was easier to use, fun to play games and efficient to work with. Until a month ago buying ultrawide monitor. First of all, it looks amazing, games looks amazing, working is far easier than two screen. I would never go back 2 monitor setup. It has 4k width but 2k height usually. So you still need some hefty gpu to play games with. I bought 4080 last week and with the techs like RT and DLSS I think it's the right option. You can get 150 fps with DLSS and frame generation and even more so with other older games. Cyberpunk overdrive with DLSS gives around 100 fps. So I think it's the balanced option for ultrawide setup. Gaming experience I tell you is something else.
@@AncientGameplays Yes, I was wondering why UW is still called 1440p (besides the 1440 horizontal pixels), from a number of pixels perspective its more like 3k rather than 2k which is commonly known as 1440p.
I have an 3440x1440p 165Hz ultrawide and a 6800xt. The results are stunning. I really love it. And is not all about gaming, but for productivity. In my work, I really appreciate the extra horizontal space for multiple windows and for some specific softwares I use where the extra space is a must. Most of my games run above 120fps and even full capacity. I do not want to go back 16:9
The frames aren't as much of an issue if you want to lower the FOV but still retain the same awareness in a shooter. That way you still see as much but have a better zoom for better long range shots. I considered getting an ultra wide to play tarkov at lower FOV. I could still get the same peripheral view as someone on a higher FOV on a 16:9 monitor while getting the advantage of a larger target to shoot at. Shouldn't be any real performance hit that way in theory except if there is a hit due to better LOD because of increased zoom rendering better textures and distant detail.
Recently bought a 5k (5120 x 2160) ultra wide. It’s perfect for work related stuff, but have to switch to a lower resolution when gaming. Even if I had a beast of a GPU, the screen maxes at 60hrz, but I would be oke with that.
I have a 4060ti and a 1080p ultrawide. I'm thinking about upgrading to 1440p 16:9. Even though some games look good on ultrawide, I play certain games and franchises that almost never support ultrawide resolutions, and the black bars are quite annoying. Your content is AMAZING btw!
I also have 4060ti and 1080p ultrawide 34 inch LG monitor, for the bunch of games that have black bars I have been using flawless widescreen for years and I am never ever going back to 16:9 maybe increase resolution within few years when 4060ti becomes too slow
How is it with movies and shows? I don't own a TV so all my multimedia is tied to the PC and I am considering getting an OLED 3440x1440p minotor but since I both game and watch films on it then I'm not sure if it's worth it to display the black bars (also cuz of OLED burn in when watching stuff with those black bars on the sides)
Very useful, watching this a year after release, still relevant for those considering the switch. I game with an fps limit of 165 fps, I think for most games I wouldn't see any difference. I guess ill find out when my new monitor is delivered later. One issue that cropped up when researching my purchase, the brand of your GPU can effect performance with some high end (i don't know if it's an across the board issue) monitors, the firmware of the monitor can play with some GPU brands better than others, for example the Alienware AW3423DWF favours Nvidia GPU's, Yet another pitfall to be aware of. Thanks.
I didn't explain that very well, Hardware Unboxed have a in depth explanation of the issue which is probably only applicable to the 2 Alienware AW3423DW/F monitors. The Freesync version works better with Nvidia GPU's than the G-sync version, and they advise getting the DWF Freesync version. Another thing using Ultrawide, do you need to change the FOV settings? It's not typically a setting I ever meddle with. 21:9 definitely adds to immersion. Thanks, great channel..
You're watching this part... I use a LG ultrawide monitor (actually 2 of them), the standard version, not the "gamer", so it's 60hz, 2560x1080p. I have a Ryzen 7 3700x and a RX 590, and play almost every game in high/ultra settings.
@@AncientGameplays I’m looking at getting a 6700 XT, with a LG 34” 2560x 1080 UW 165hz. But currently using a RTX 2060 super on a 32” 16:9 2560x1440p 144hz monitor….. I watched the whole video, thought it was awesome, but I wish you would have included a fast paced FPS title like Doom Eternal.
@@AncientGameplays Interesting, I thought he performance hit wouldn’t basically exist going from 144hz 2569x1440p 16:9 , to a 2560x1080p 165hz UW ? Why wouldn’t you go down that route?
*before the video premieres* 16:9, I couldn't be bothered with some games having lackluster support, having to install mods, edit .ini files, black bars etc. Some games have this "fisheye" FOV effect around the corners of the screen too, I experienced this on mafia definitive edition. I play a large variety of PC games..old and new so if you only stick to newer releases you shouldn't have a problem for the most part. Also you will lose performance..even on my RTX 3080 + Ryzen 5800x I noticed quite a drop on red dead redemption 2 / cyberpunk..would rather hit a more consistent frame rate at standard 1440p

If had 4 Samsung G9 so far the 5th was supose to come this week but they found a bright pixel dead center of screen so now i am waiting technically for the 6th, after 3th G9 i decided to go for the G9 Neo it was doa the first one 😭
@@AncientGameplays Honestly think the webshop will ask me to give up when next one is also not pixel perfect, however if heard nightmare stories of other monitors as well, still hoping to get a G9 Neo.
I'm still using my 1440p ultrawide with my GTX 1080, upgraded to i3 12100F from old i7 but that's it. Actually runs pretty well most games are above 75FPS . So it depends what you play and if you're willing to drop to medium and high mixtures of settings on games too
Have a dual monitor 16:9 setup and a 21:9 UW. Honestly, the lack of 21:9 support across smaller titles as well as the lack of viable 4K options is ultimately the deal breaker for me. If you plan on playing very specific AAA titles, UW rules. If you want support across a wide variety of games, applications, and movie streams, UW ain't it.
I had one, if I kept it I wouldn't use one as my main monitor since the dark spaces on the sides on the side looks terrible. For true cinemascope experiences it's great though, and games like PUBG where the extra side-angles are super helpful but for general use it's too impractical.
@@AncientGameplays Lot'a movies and shows are in 16:9 nowadays, for cinemascope 2:35/2:40 movies which there's a bunch of it was great but ultimately the VA panel had panel had horrendous smearing so I sold the Z35p and bought a Wasabi Mango UHD 430 IPS 4K 120Hz monitor which I absolutely love.
Recently gone from a 34'' 2560x1080p ultrawide with a Vega 64 to a 34'' 3440x1440p with a 6700x and the diference in quality is realy noticeable. Unfortunately i think i should have waited a little bit more for price drops on the 6800 because my 6700x is already showing stress in current demanding games at 3440x1440 under 70-80fps... not feeling confident in the next years with 6700x... monitor is awesome though.
@@AncientGameplays in fact the times i've tried FSR i've been surprised. At 1080p it was terrible even at ultra quality, but at 1440p is actualy OK with some tinkering in sharpening.
Can someone tell me if I upgrade to 34" ultra wide and I see that my system i struggling powering it in AAA game titles, will adjusting ressolution to 1080p 16:9 (with black bars on side) be same as I am gaming ond 1080p 24" screen?
What is the difference between a 21: 9 2560x1080p and 21: 9 3440x1440 monitor? Is it just the resolution? Which monitor do you recommend 34 inches with 144hz? Will it make a big difference between WFHD vs WQHD? thanks and great videos 👍🏻
thanks for the vid! I have a 6600 xt. I want to go UW for Warzone, but unsure if I should get the monitor first or GPU. GPU prices are still super expensive, so I am saving, but I wonder if I can just go UW for now or if the performance is really bad
@@AncientGameplays Interesting that you mentioned that. I'll have to skim through your videos as I'm sure you explained why. There are exactly 7 UW 1440 monitors available to me that are 144hz and higher. Only two of them are IPS and the other five are VA. What's funny is that the cheapest and most expensive are IPS.
There needs to be more ultrawide QD OLED gaming monitors with a resolution of 5120x2160, which is the 4K 21:9 equivalent of 3840x2160. (16:9) There are hardly any 5120x2160 gaming monitors, which is a massive shame. There are just very few ultrawide OLED gaming monitors in general. This is something that the monitor industry needs to focus on in my opinion.
So the benchmark "16:9 vs 21:9" was effectively made on the same monitor (LG34GN850B-C)? I ask, because I want to try out a 21:9 monitor, but still have the option to play 16:9 without the performance loss.
I'll rethink if it's a good idea upgrade ( downgrade ? ID know ) to the HP X34 from 4K to 2K UltraWide or just buy a regular 2K Is it worth it for the 6800 XT ? and isn't 34 inches too much for UW 1440p ? I've never had a 21:9 monitor
Honestly I’m still confused whether to get 27” IPS or 34” VA ultrawide monitor. It could be I’ll be picking 16:9 since the table I’m planning to get is small.
You can turn an oled tv into ultrawide pretty easily nvdia control panel, should be easy for amd too. The remaining vertical black bars are completely dark because its oled.
@@AncientGameplays Yea you could, prices for oleds are so much more resonable now compared to 1-2 yrs ago. But people who already own oled tv don't need to buy another expensive monitor with this trick.
Eu estou em dúvida, aqui no brasil nao acho um UW QHD ips, só VA, tive uma tv VA vendi, o black smearing me incomodou muito. Aí to em dúvida sobre um FHD UW 2560X1080 ou um 1440p 16:9. Nunca usei 21:9 a nao ser no celular. Acho q vou de ultrawide msm sendo fullhd. O que vc acha? Obg
Eu aconselho pegar ultrawide de 34" pelo menos. 29" não é mau, terá a altura de um de 24" mas mais largo. Se tiver um QHD IPS 27" pelo mesmo valor, compensa mais o IPS QHD
I use the same graphics card with an i9 10850k and I don't get as many fps on the same games. My PC is well optimized, but I don't understand why I don't get as many fps as you do in 1440p.
LMAO I'm enjoying the hell out of my dual monitor setup, a trillion times better, no lame black bars, compatibility issues, not having to deal with annoying curved displays, can activate RTX video Super Resolution on one video and do something else in the other monitor, next step is to replace my old 24 full HD display with a 28-32in 4k monitor, Ultrawide will never take off
I got a 21:9 monitor and honestly I can’t wait to go back. Opening 2 windows side by side is nice when I needed to out some data into an Excel sheet, but games feel so much less immersive with the wide aspect ratio. Already ordered a 27” OLED monitor and will return the ultrawide as soon as it arrives.
@ well it kinda does, even if the camera is as far from the character as it would have been on 16:9, there’s so much more space on the sides now, makes me feel less in tune with the character 😅 Maybe it’s cool for FPS or racing games, but 90% of the games I play are third person and I can’t get immersed in them on an ultrawide. Definitely gotta try Indiana Jones and Need for Speed before I return it!
I have a 6700xt and thinking about switching to a 1440p 144hz ultrawide now im not so sure if it will handle all the games without sacrifying some details
It would to some extend, but would suffer, both in terms of gpu and cpu. For cpu get a 5800x3d and you don't need another board. As for GPU, even a 3080/6800xt would be a huge upgrade
Hope you enjoy this explanatory video of Wide (16:9) vs UltraWide (21:9) monitors and resolutions!

Same here!!
Me too and just have an ultrawide since a few weeks.
Now we need an 21:9 oled 240hz monitor
u got even more screen real estate horizontally and vertically as well on an 4k screen than on an 3440x1440
After a lot of confusion between the 32:10 (49 inch) Vs 16:9 (43 inch) .
I got the 43 inch because I can force the game to run in 32:10 and still get 39 inches of screen space. And infact run games in a myriad of aspect ration including 24:9 or 25:9 with about 39 to 40 inches of screen space which I think is incredible.

I also prefer this one to work, I"m a software developer and having a lot of text on the screen helps a lot.
The only downside is that some old games that I play don't have support for 21:9. And if they have it is a pain in the ass to implement it, dealing with HEX codes
even install third party software! I don't like that, I just want to play hehe.
I understand you and agree with you. The last games i had to "fix" were DBZ Kakarot and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2

@@MrW8ns3a Hey there,
Currently I have a Samsung sj55w, 34 inches 1440p ultrawide (work), and a Dell sw3422dwg (gaming), same diagonal and resolution but higher refresh rate (144 Hz).
IMO the text looks good, it is not as clear as a retina display though. I sit between 70 and 90 cm away from the monitor.
1440p in a 27 inch monitor would look the same as in a 34 inch ultrawide one (as long as the latter is 3440x1440). Both have the same ppi (around 110).
In my experience, 100 to 120 ppi is the sweet spot. And I don't recommend a 32 inch monitor with 2560x1440 resolution because it will look the same as a 27 inch one at 1080p. Unless you will see it from a distance longer than 1 meter.

I have a triple screen racing cockpit using 3 LG 21:9 screens, and it's amazing. The peripheral vision effect you get is incredible, the side screens almost reach behind your ears. It works out to 7680*1080, and exactly matches the 4k pixel count.

Entirely random and arbitrary artistic choice that emerged from technological limitations (first movies being recorded with anamorphic lenses leading to the 2.39:1 format becoming the norm) and pedantry (filmmakers trying to differentiate movies from "made for TV" works), if you wanna go down this route you might as well defend that everything be recorded/played at "cinematic" 24 FPS..

One of the most important videos on youtube, thanks.
Thank you
Honestly this is a fantastic video.
I have a 5700xt coupled with an old 1080p ultrawide. I really wanted to upgrade but thanks to this video I know I can't justify buying a 1440p ultrawide because the performance is decreased by a little too much. Gonna suck tho when it comes to productivity

Wow! One of the best presentations for gaming tests!!
Thank you 💪
I am so glad you covered this! More tech tubers need to do the same. I switched to 3840x1600 UW and I simply can never go back. During a recent move, I was gaming on my 6800m laptop with a 15in screen 16:9 and I suffered lol.
Helps a lot during competitive play and is an absolute pleasure in story games to see so much on the screen at once.
Absolutely agree :D
21:9 is not going to help in competitive gameplay. The only purpose it serves is that it is more immersive for gamers that believe they need to feel like they're in the game. Esports do not use UW monitors, so that should tell you something.
@@Hachiko814 Theres lots of reasons they use non wide lmao, Desk Space, Sponsors, cheaper, faster response times with less demanding res, I get your point but I played lots of competitive in rainbowsix even traveled brazil and uw helps a lot with overall visibility also takin into account I play at 1440p, but the space that demands a uw monitor is tipically bigger than usual and 16:9 is something theyve got used to it and they know how close and how far it feels better, imo if a expro tries ultrawide most would enjoy it and get advantage of the bigger screen
@@Hachiko814 I was just going to point out the extra Frametimes in the shooter titles shown in this video. That will really cut down on the players reaction time. I'm actually surprised by how much the Frametimes go up! Glad I saw this video before building my next PC. I was going to go from 1080p Ultrawide to 1440p Ultrawide, but not after seeing this. I don't mind loosing in my shooter games, but if I'm going to loose, I want it to be because I was outplayed, NOT because my hardware limits my reaction time.

Hi man. I have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700XT gpu. I'm curious, since you used that card before, whether it will be able to push 2560x1080 resolution or not. I am planning to buy a cheap 29 inch 1080p ultrawide monitor to try it out and see if I will like such a monitor and experience. Thanks!
This was a great video showcasing the different between Wide and Ultrawide.
Thank you
Hi I really enjoy your videos and I think you deserve more credit 💯

Ultrawide displays just hits differently. Sure you’re leaving up to 20fps on the table compared to 16:9, but damn is it worth it 😄.
that is the perfect video I was searching for !
Thank you so much !=
Thank you as well
I went directly to 21:9, and yes, it's true what everyone says. Once you have 21:9 you won't wanna miss it by going back to 16:9. I have 24-inch 16:9 screens at work, but 21:9 34-inch slmonitor at home. CS2, GTA online, delta force, Cyberpunk all on the highest settings and it runs smoothly. I cant imagine going back again. The black bars appear when you watch 16:9 movies but you get easily used to it basically immediately. Thabks for you video!
I just made a new video a couple of days ago, lay an eye on it :D
bro I wanna get an ultra wide now thanks this really opened my eyes to this type of monitor 👌👍
Thank you for watching my friend
Just picked up a 34inch ultra wide recently because I not only wanted to game on it, but also use it for work. Nice to have all the space without requiring a dual monitor setup but the immersion you get while gaming is amazing. I upgraded my video card from an RTX 2060 to a 6600XT that I was able to pick up at a decent price considering the market. Most of the games I play run well even at max settings. Only a few require turning the graphics settings down to get above 60FPS.
Great to see an ultrawide lover!

@@craig71686 🤣🤣
i just ordered an ultrawide and hoping 12gb 3060 will be able to run everything above 60fps
@@jonr7364 it really depends on what games you plan to play. 3440x1440 is about 25% more pixels to draw over regular 1440p. From what I have seen, you usually get about 10-20 less fps going from 1440p to 1440 ultra wide. You can possibly look up some 1440p benchmarks with a 3060 then subtract about 10-20fps to get a ballpark estimate of the fps you will get at 1440 ultra wide. Of course you can use DLSS and/or FSR upscaling to help depending on what each game supports.
Thank you for sharing this bro. Very informative. I just ordered 2560 x 1080p monitor. Curious to try out the ultrawide monitor.

I just got my LG Ug oled Ultra wide. It just looks so clean.
I feel you
Great job on the research and comparing and testing different games to make solid arguments about the monitors and performance.
Most of the videos I watch and games I play on PC, consoles and emulators are 16:9, so I will keep using wide monitors, until my reality of consuming and creating media changes and I don't compromise my overall experience with ultra-wide monitors
💪💪
wow you'll are really COOL...and thanks for your HELP!!
💪💪
Awesome video. I already have a 1440 UW, but still wanted to check out the 4k 16:9 to compare performance. Since tvs only come at 4k 16:9, and sometimes I like to game on a tv to be more chill and comfy. Kinda sad that UW tvs didn’t catch on, because it is going to be hard to go back to a 16:9 tv lol
Of course I watch to the end, every time 😁
I wonder how much more of a hit 4K Ultrawide is going to be? When will we even get those monitors? 🤔
For now, there is no 4K ultrawide and i don't think there will be any time soon (mainstream)
You are not alone lol ,personally I'd like them adopting the 21:9 aspect ratio rather than the 32:9 super ultrawide one , and being at a size of 34-38" max more than that IMO is too big for a PC monitor, even a curved one .
so we will probably end up with a resolution of 5210X2160 which is 11,059,200 pixels (a little over 11 millions), 4K 16:9 is 8.3 million pixels so the pixels difference is 2,764,800 or 2.7 million. so running it as long as you don't run out of VRAM should be around 31% less performance than regular 16:9 4K.
What about Dell U4021QW?
According to the website it's 5120 x 2160 and 21:9 aspect ratio.
@@bardavidson2102 I'd still want a 21:9 aspect ratio at 34" because to me the point is increasing PPI for ultrawide. Also, the more obscure the ratios and screen sizes the less likely they are to get made.
That'd be 5040x2160, so 10,886,400 pixels. So that's 24% more pixels than 4K. Not so bad when you think about it. Especially with tech like DLSS and FSR now.
@@maldad7925 Hey, didn't know about that one. Thanks for the heads-up.
I came here studing the parts for a new PC, and decide to do some research regarding 16:9 4K monitors, but having played on a ultrawide monitor for over 7 years I don't think I can go back to smaller monitors, its just too imersive. I don't mind missing out on 1ms response time and some 30ish fps....Its worth it
You wont miss anything. Most of those are marketing bullshit
Great work, thank you!
The exact video I needed. I've been using 34in UW monitors since 2017 and I really love them, but I'm going to try out a regular 27in 1440p one because I want those extra fps.
I have a 6950XT and 5800X, but in many games with ultra presets I only get 80-120 fps and I hate the feel of a game when it dips below 100fps. And for me, a game doesn't really start to feel super smooth until 120+ fps. So I'm hoping a standard 1440p monitor will give me the feel I'm looking for. I'll still keep my UW hooked up as a secondary display because I love having it for regular use. I love it for gaming as well, but I love fps more! :D
With fsr available I see no point in going 16:9 at all, but enjoy 💪
@@AncientGameplays I notice the reduction in quality when using FRS. :/

Thanks!
I used to had like 2 1080p monitors and I thought it was easier to use, fun to play games and efficient to work with. Until a month ago buying ultrawide monitor. First of all, it looks amazing, games looks amazing, working is far easier than two screen. I would never go back 2 monitor setup. It has 4k width but 2k height usually. So you still need some hefty gpu to play games with. I bought 4080 last week and with the techs like RT and DLSS I think it's the right option. You can get 150 fps with DLSS and frame generation and even more so with other older games. Cyberpunk overdrive with DLSS gives around 100 fps. So I think it's the balanced option for ultrawide setup. Gaming experience I tell you is something else.
Indeed another level , 💪💪
Great vidio, thanks for uploading
Thanks for watching!
great video, and yes, UW is incredible, hard to go back, I have a "better" 2K monitor, but don't even look at it now :D
1440P you mean? Haha
@@AncientGameplays Yes, I was wondering why UW is still called 1440p (besides the 1440 horizontal pixels), from a number of pixels perspective its more like 3k rather than 2k which is commonly known as 1440p.
Thx man
Thank you as well
Im running a rx 6800 with Asus 30 inch 2560x1080 200fps monitor. Love it.
I have an 3440x1440p 165Hz ultrawide and a 6800xt.
The results are stunning. I really love it. And is not all about gaming, but for productivity. In my work, I really appreciate the extra horizontal space for multiple windows and for some specific softwares I use where the extra space is a must.
Most of my games run above 120fps and even full capacity. I do not want to go back 16:9
Agreed
Thank you. Yep I've watched the conclusion. Trying to make decision if I should stick with 16:9 upgrade or 21:9 🤣
Ultrawide is the way
Nice. I'm tempted to upgrade to a 35 inch 1440p 100hz screen from Costco this Christmas after I do my i5 12600k itx upgrades. :)
Just dont go for a VA panel my man. Get IPS, even more for ultrawide
The frames aren't as much of an issue if you want to lower the FOV but still retain the same awareness in a shooter. That way you still see as much but have a better zoom for better long range shots. I considered getting an ultra wide to play tarkov at lower FOV. I could still get the same peripheral view as someone on a higher FOV on a 16:9 monitor while getting the advantage of a larger target to shoot at. Shouldn't be any real performance hit that way in theory except if there is a hit due to better LOD because of increased zoom rendering better textures and distant detail.
Well, I wouldn't do that, not my thing
Recently bought a 5k (5120 x 2160) ultra wide. It’s perfect for work related stuff, but have to switch to a lower resolution when gaming.
Even if I had a beast of a GPU, the screen maxes at 60hrz, but I would be oke with that.
That's called 4K ultrawide not 5K. Also, you should hve picked 1440P UW with higher refresh rate IMO 💪💪
@@AncientGameplays for gaming yes but I need the extra vertical pixels for work. Originally I was thinking of getting a regular 4K monitor.

I have a 4060ti and a 1080p ultrawide. I'm thinking about upgrading to 1440p 16:9. Even though some games look good on ultrawide, I play certain games and franchises that almost never support ultrawide resolutions, and the black bars are quite annoying. Your content is AMAZING btw!
Thank you! I am yet to play a game in the past 10 years that doesn't support ultrawide apart from elden ring lol
I also have 4060ti and 1080p ultrawide 34 inch LG monitor, for the bunch of games that have black bars I have been using flawless widescreen for years and I am never ever going back to 16:9 maybe increase resolution within few years when 4060ti becomes too slow
How is it with movies and shows? I don't own a TV so all my multimedia is tied to the PC and I am considering getting an OLED 3440x1440p minotor but since I both game and watch films on it then I'm not sure if it's worth it to display the black bars (also cuz of OLED burn in when watching stuff with those black bars on the sides)
Very useful, watching this a year after release, still relevant for those considering the switch. I game with an fps limit of 165 fps, I think for most games I wouldn't see any difference. I guess ill find out when my new monitor is delivered later. One issue that cropped up when researching my purchase, the brand of your GPU can effect performance with some high end (i don't know if it's an across the board issue) monitors, the firmware of the monitor can play with some GPU brands better than others, for example the Alienware AW3423DWF favours Nvidia GPU's, Yet another pitfall to be aware of. Thanks.
Nah, its not the brand, its the type of Gsync /freesync they have
I didn't explain that very well, Hardware Unboxed have a in depth explanation of the issue which is probably only applicable to the 2 Alienware AW3423DW/F monitors. The Freesync version works better with Nvidia GPU's than the G-sync version, and they advise getting the DWF Freesync version. Another thing using Ultrawide, do you need to change the FOV settings? It's not typically a setting I ever meddle with. 21:9 definitely adds to immersion. Thanks, great channel..
Curved UW or Flat is my next question!
Slight curvature fels great!!

Some games have this "fisheye" FOV effect around the corners of the screen too, I experienced this on mafia definitive edition.
I play a large variety of PC games..old and new so if you only stick to newer releases you shouldn't have a problem for the most part.

Yo tengo una RX 6600 XT en un LG UltraWide de 35 pulgadas 100hz
There needs to be more ultrawide QD OLED gaming monitors with a resolution of 5120x2160, which is the 4K 21:9 equivalent of 3840x2160. (16:9) There are hardly any 5120x2160 gaming monitors, which is a massive shame. There are just very few ultrawide OLED gaming monitors in general. This is something that the monitor industry needs to focus on in my opinion.
So the benchmark "16:9 vs 21:9" was effectively made on the same monitor (LG34GN850B-C)?
I ask, because I want to try out a 21:9 monitor, but still have the option to play 16:9 without the performance loss.
Of course it was, but the monitor doesn't matter, the resolution will be the same in any monitor.
I LOVE 21:9 monitors. It's amazing for works. Not so much for playing games, perhaps--with the black bars and all, but--eh.
Is it ok for me to use a 21:9 monitor with an RX 6600 XT for 1080p gaming?
Yes, but ultrawide should be at least 1440P imo
I made it to the end.

Fabio, which monitor do you recommend? Dell Alienware AW2724DM vs Dell S3422DWG? Now I have a 1080p monitor and want to jump to 1440p.
thank-you gaming jesus.
Eu estou em dúvida, aqui no brasil nao acho um UW QHD ips, só VA, tive uma tv VA vendi, o black smearing me incomodou muito.
Aí to em dúvida sobre um FHD UW 2560X1080 ou um 1440p 16:9.
Nunca usei 21:9 a nao ser no celular.
Acho q vou de ultrawide msm sendo fullhd. O que vc acha? Obg
Eu aconselho pegar ultrawide de 34" pelo menos. 29" não é mau, terá a altura de um de 24" mas mais largo. Se tiver um QHD IPS 27" pelo mesmo valor, compensa mais o IPS QHD
@@AncientGameplays obrigado vou pegar então o 27 qhd msm
I use the same graphics card with an i9 10850k and I don't get as many fps on the same games. My PC is well optimized, but I don't understand why I don't get as many fps as you do in 1440p.
Nice performance penalty! Another reason not to ever bother with UW crap
You're talking because you never experienced it
LMAO I'm enjoying the hell out of my dual monitor setup, a trillion times better, no lame black bars, compatibility issues, not having to deal with annoying curved displays, can activate RTX video Super Resolution on one video and do something else in the other monitor, next step is to replace my old 24 full HD display with a 28-32in 4k monitor, Ultrawide will never take off
I got a 21:9 monitor and honestly I can’t wait to go back. Opening 2 windows side by side is nice when I needed to out some data into an Excel sheet, but games feel so much less immersive with the wide aspect ratio.
Already ordered a 27” OLED monitor and will return the ultrawide as soon as it arrives.
Less immersive? That's surely a new one that I never heard, and honestly makes no sense, but you do you 💪
@ well it kinda does, even if the camera is as far from the character as it would have been on 16:9, there’s so much more space on the sides now, makes me feel less in tune with the character 😅
Maybe it’s cool for FPS or racing games, but 90% of the games I play are third person and I can’t get immersed in them on an ultrawide.
Definitely gotta try Indiana Jones and Need for Speed before I return it!
Huge popularity= 4% of steamusers? xD
joke aside i really like the video super informative. Cant wait for my aw3423dw to arrive
Thanks, have a nice day
I have a 6700xt and thinking about switching to a 1440p 144hz ultrawide now im not so sure if it will handle all the games without sacrifying some details
You can watch the video. 1440P ultrawide is a new and worthy experience :D
@@AncientGameplays Yeah i did watch it, great video! But maybe i should have gone for the 6800 instead for high refresh rate ultrawide gaming😅
You will still be fine with a 6700xt. The monitor is the most important thing imo. Later you keep it and upgrade the GPU
I want to upgrade to such a screen but would by hardware make it?
CPU Ryzen 5 2600x
GeForce rtx 2070 Super
It would to some extend, but would suffer, both in terms of gpu and cpu. For cpu get a 5800x3d and you don't need another board. As for GPU, even a 3080/6800xt would be a huge upgrade
