[@jjbjcbjajbac]

It looks shorter then normal monitors, is that with every monitor

[@TheNetGuy]

It’s the aspect ratio of 21:9 vs 16:9. So it is about 25% shorter

[@hectorherrera1829]

Can you tell me pls for the love of kittens how to get rid of black side bars while playing games..changed all kinds of things in the display option in monitor, in windows and the vid card..still nothing

Change the resolution of the video game to 2560 X 1080. You want to use 21:9 aspect ratio.

[@kevhn]

Great video! What VESA mount do you recommend? I bought this monitor and some people said it's not very tall so I might need one

[@TheNetGuy]

Mount Pro gas strut monitor arms, Huanuo also makes good ones.

[@Joaquin-sz4um]

Why isn’t it allowing me to get to 2160p on my PlayStation and I bought a brand new PlayStation five HDMI cable that connects😢

[@TheNetGuy]

The monitor is 2560x1080p resolution. That’s still 1080p but with 21:9 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. 2160p is 4k at normal aspect which this is not.

[@Joaquin-sz4um]

@@TheNetGuy so I went to settings and I clicked on current video output signal, and it said the resolution was 1920 x 1080 and then when I went to test the output, it said that the connected HDMI device does not support it so does that mean that it’s the actual HDMI itself or it just doesn’t support the ultra wide gaming system all around like that? Because I know it does not support Ultra Wide gaming but I don’t know 100% what it means.

[@145barbarian]

I am curious what settings you recommend/use for brightness, contrast, backlight, etc. on the monitor settings themselves. I can't seem to find too many examples online of settings people are using with this monitor and was just wondering as I've kept mine on the factory default the whole time I've had it. Thanks!

[@TheNetGuy]

It’s a VA panel so viewing angle will change color and contrast greatly. I often recommend turning down the backlight vs adjusting brightness. I run it at 165hz or 144hz which greatly reduces ghosting and still is great. Enjoy - and don’t throw out the VESA adapter from the box.

[@chasecrooks]

do you recommend turning on hdr?

[@TheNetGuy]

It normally. HDR support in apps is rare and it usually causes more problems than it solves (lower contrast for SDR apps)

[@chasecrooks]

@@TheNetGuy ok thank you just wondering because when i’m on my pc and ps5 home screen and i turn it HDR on everything just looks more vibrant and without it on everything just looks like whiteish if that makes sense and i have tried messing with the brightness and backlight

[@TheNetGuy]

Ah, for console it my be better supported. The PC implementation of HDR isn’t as good. If it looks better to you I’d keep it on 😜

[@raccoonacid201]

I have a question, I bought this for my Xbox and it was blurry and only going to 60hz so I bought an adapter for HDMI to Display port and it has a usb for power. I’ve seen some videos saying this will fix it to 120hz but will it help with the stretch res blurriness at all if not I’m just swap the aspect ratio so it doesn’t matter but I’m just curious

[@Jvasquez4]

you need a pc to have good graphics and get the full 200hz. And Don’t worry I’m having the same problem right now😂

@@Jvasquez4 I have a pc and it looks great but I understand the 200hz but why is the quality worse than a normal monitor when on my Xbox and amazing on my pc?

[@Jvasquez4]

@@raccoonacid201Thats because Xbox supports only up too 120 fps.
