this is the best video in the internet comparing 21:9 ultra wide and 16:9 monitor, comparing true actual day to day use cases, Thank you so much for making me taking the right decision, i am most likely to go with ultra wide rather than the recent samsung smart monitor/tv. I work for almost 8 hours a day, and work majorly on excel/power bi. I can connect to having a 34 inch more sensible.

Thank you for sharing. I have a 16:9 and 21:9, both 29". From my own experience if anyone wanna get a 21:9, I suggest to go for a bigger size monitor like 34". My 29" 21:9 feels a bit small bcoz of the stretch.
@w2best Жыл бұрын
Great input! I've not tried anything but 34" 21:9 and then mostly 27" 16:9 so that is my basis of comparison. I can totally see that being the case.
@VinnyUnion8 ай бұрын
I'll be specifically getting a '29 just for the extra clarity and for the portability by being compact. I'm going for a overall mobile and portable build in general. Have purchased a fingertip mouse too, keychron M4 from Logitech g705 (laser sux)

I have a 38" 21:9 Ultrawide from LG, had it a couple of years now and it's fantastic. I also have my old 16:9 monitor next to it but in portrait mode. I find I often don't switch this on though.

I started with a 21:9 34" monitor in 2017 and have never looked back. Using a 16:9 screen just seems cramped but the best thing about an ultrawide is having 2 opened windows side by side.
@saikame58332 ай бұрын
I've been using a 2560x1080p monitor for quite awhile and wanted to go up to 2k resolution ... but the size of the ultrawides at 2k resolution are too big imo. So guess I'm stuck at 1080p or go down to 16:9.
@williamstevenson2649 Жыл бұрын
This is very useful, as I'm considering this at the moment. I haven't used either size yet, although I'm used to 16:9 from the laptop. I don't have these exacting demands so I'll probably just go for a 4K 16:9. Thank you.

I love my 16:9 4K monitor, but I didn't realize the pros of 21:9 until I started using it :P
@tomaspiskula80082 ай бұрын
One of the arguments why I decided for 21:9 was the movies. That's the common cinematic format. And even for Netflix, which uses aspect ratio somewhere in between 21:9 and 16:9, I would rather have filled frame by sides than on top and bottom (and therefore reduced size).
@Shockload6 ай бұрын
3:58 pretty sure most movies are made in a ≈21:9 aspect ratio so it's actually beneficial, infact the first UW TV ever made, (yes a TV) was the 2009 "Philips Cinema 21:9", it was specifically aimed at providing a cinematic viewing experience by matching the aspect ratio of most modern films.

Like most of life it's usually not absolute one way or another. I might prefer one over the other but I wouldn't definitively say one is better than the other. There's also the part where you get used to whatever you use regularly. How about 2 side by side 16x9 monitors? That's what I use and like it pretty much.

Thank you, very informative! I do mainly office work and some gaming so I’m looking at a 34 inch Philips ultrawide. The difference is: I plan to leave my MacBook closed, put a webcam on the monitor and open two windows on screen: one with ms teams and one with a presentation/document. That way I can keep looking forward and see both my audience and the content. Do you think this plan will work?

Hello, im thinking about buying cheap LG 34 21:9 monitor for work, instead of 32 16:9. I guess its good choice, do you agree? Btw, what is your opinion to curved ultra wide? Is so much better than without curve? Actually, im thinking about buying ultra wide without curve. I have MacBook Air m1, so I can't connect two monitors haha

My question is in games that let you change the fov. Can you see more of the game in say a 32:9 vs 16:9 or does the game determine how much you see. In other words with my 32:9 and i set a games fov to its highest 120, can i see more than a 16:9 monitor that has fov set to the same 120 fov in game?

Or you could just play games that have that aspect ratio built in... Seen people get more advantages in those games due to being able to see more of the game world than the enemies running 16:9 aspect ratios...

16:9 horizontal pixel are for more candle which is in both model is 3840 but for price action you need more pixel in 16:9 are 2160 pixel and in uwide monitor is 1440 pixel so in both you can see same number of candle but in uwide its more space between candle and range for price movement defenitly 16:9 is much much more better sorry for lack of english

Sometimes you even get black bars on all sides when watching 21:9 content because they add bars to top and bottom first to stream it in 16:9 and then your own box adds the ones on the sides.
