Have you taken the ultrawide pill yet /v/?
>>
No, because I'm not mentally ill, and I have a concept of money.
>>
yeah i want to join the ranks of the faggots who constantly bitch that their game doesnt have ultrawide support. totally.
>>

No, I'm not a casual consoletoddler. Anything above 24" is a meme and so is 4K.
The more space you need to scan for information the more dogshit faggotry it is.

>>738127764
Not worth the UI problems, fucked up glare and loss in performance.
>>
>>738127764
I'm not opposed to spending a lot of money on something I'm going to use a lot, but for my use I realized I get more out of having multiple good 27" monitors while saving money to boot.
>>
>>738127764
Been on ultrawide since 2017. Nornal screens looks like I'm wearing blinkers at this point. I don't know how normies do it.

Does anyone have the webm of the fag with 6 ultrawide monitors with the bezel directly in front of his view?
>>
>>738128104
Nah, your eyes get used to the screen you use, if you started only using your phone screen for everything you will eventually say the same thing
>>
>>738127880
>Anything above 24" is a meme
make it 27"
anything bigger than that on your desk is retarded and will kill your eyes eventually
>>
>>738128104
Same here, call it a meme or retardation I'm never going back to 16:9. I'll put up with black bars of its an older game I want to load up, but those are rare
>>
>>738128223
make it 100"

Turning my head makes my neck hurt.

love wasting 2 hours of my life downloading mods and messing withe config files just to get the game to display properly on my thousand dollar display
>>

That's what you get for cheaping out on a $1000 monitor.

>>738127764
are ultrawides actually worth it?
I haven't seen a convincing option in this category but I do want to try it.
>>
>>738127764
Yeah I love it. Every game I play has a UW fix and takes about 5 minutes to install and setup. I also have Every type of panel and TV out there for Home and at Work and I will never not game on my 34" UW.
>>
>>738128901
Since 2017 I've had to do this for the dark souls games, since Fromsoft have always been shit at ultrawide support. A few games here and there haven't supported it.
The rest of the thousands of games I've played just work.
Just keep believing whatever you want though.

That VA is the only decent size one.

i took the ultrawide pill a year ago. i play alot of sim games as well, so it made sense to use a wide screen for Microsoft flight simulator, elite dangerous, truck simulators.

while ultra wide was great for those sim games, I returned my G9 within two weeks because i was sick of the lack of widescreen support for a majority of other games. I found myself constantly downloading widescreen patches, ui mods, having fucked up FOV's in multiplayer shooters, and dealing with those ugly black bars on the sides when you want to play 16:9.

Much happier with my 42" LGC2. ultrawide is a meme. do NOT fall for that shit, just buy a bigger 16:9 display.
>>
>>738129691
I have a 55" 16:9 and it's comfy.
>>
>>738129567
>Yeah I love it. Every game I play has a UW fix
squad has no widescreen support and your fov is permanently fucked in that game on a widescreen. learned this the hard way and i will never touch widescreen trash ever again.
>>
>>738129872
Yeah, that casual faggot probably only play consoletoddler shit.
It's fucking embarrassing that these things are allowed to post on /v/.
>>
>>738129791
going from ultrawide to a TV screen was the upgrade i wish i did earlier. 50 inch OLED tv's are the ultimate endgame monitors
>>
>>738129872
I have no idea what squad is but if UW doesnt suit your needs then definitely dont buy or play on one.
>>
>>738130002
and thats why i returned my ultrawide and why i will always speak out against ultrawide shills like you. fuck that meme of a screen.

Why, yes. I do have a 21:9 OLED monitor. Poors only complain about muh mods, but most modern games work with ultrawide. I ain't complaining.
>>
>>738130268
Not shilling it - I have every type of panel already and I mostly use my UW for games I play. Its up to the consumer to do their own research instead of blindly buying things lmao
>>
no. i want to see everything on screen. turning my head and blindsiding the other corner of my monitor is not appealing unless you do driving sims and enjoy the cockpit-style view
>>
>>738130564
Keep playing on a glorified TV you casual fucking consoleshitter. If you can't recognize why the bigger screen is bad for gathering information you might be braindead.
Which you probably are since on top of a meme spouting newfag you are too retarded to turn off auto capitalization on your phone.
Lurk moar, newfag pajeet nigger mutt.

Every fucking game is compatible with 21:9 ultrawide nowadays, I beat Arcanum on it.
>>
Would be enjoyable if half the games I enjoy had proper support for it.
>>
>>738131058
A lot of games (Pragmata is one people have been bitching about) block the cutscenes at 16:9.
>>
>>738127764
I have one, but just for "productivity". The only games I play are either 4:3 (consoles) or in a small window (handhelds).
>>
>>738128153
i'm begging for this video please!
>>
>>738130808

>>
>>738131247
You don't see 16:9 players complaining when all their cutscenes are made for ultrawide...
>>
>>738131476
Because they almost never are. Stuff is blocked for 16:9 first because that's what everyone has. The main reason they usually block for one aspect ratio is because they have stuff spawned out of frame waiting for the script to trigger them, and you'll see inactive stuff if you go beyond the blocking area.
>>
>>738131476
Yeah that happens for many cutscenes but I don't find that annoying at all. As long as the game itself is 16:9 which is where you spend 98% of the playtime unless it's mgs4

so I decided to built a gaming pc after years of using a laptop. Should I get an ultrawide monitor or a regular 2K one? I don't have attention deficit disorder so I don't need 2 monitors to watch youtube. All I play is total war warhammer 3 and psx emulation though
>>
>>738133438
55" 4k curved VA.
>>
>>738132502
That'll be really useful when I get those fish-eye lens eye implants

Yes.

I think I'd prefer two monitors desu
>>
>>738133615
I don't want my taskbar and irc client permanently visible while playing games.
>>
>>738133438
First, how high-end will your PC be? The common ultrawide resolution will require a little more power that 2K, while 4K demands a lot more, and 5k2k even beyond that.
Secondly, how big do you want your monitor to be in said resolution? Regular 16:9 display are what everyone knows, while ultrawide has more space on the sides for multitasking or whatnot.
Whatever the case, i don't know any retro game that supports ultrawide.
>>
>>738133783
>how high-end will your PC be?
I don't know. I might get 5080 with 9800X3D or cheap out on the GPU and buy AMD 9070XT. I want to play warhammer 3 with a good cpu and at least a 2K monitor tho. Big wars struggle on shitty laptop.
>>
dont need to, i just pull my 24 inch 1080p quality monitor closer to my eyes, i dont have that gene in me that has FOMO about the latest tech, i like my monitor and i dont have any thoughts about changing
>>
I got an ultrawide for christmas and idk how I feel about it.
>>
I want 16:9 display, but the display market is so weird
>27 inch 1440p high refresh rate displays are pretty cheap
>32 inch 4K display are so expensive that you might as well get 43-55 inch TV instead
>>
>>738133707
which is why you should be buying IPS since they refuse to make TN for anything but 1080p esports.

Every time I check the Steam reviews for literally any game, there's always at least one complaining that the game doesn't work on their ultra-wide meme display.
