Caution: Before you buy Ultrawide/Superwide monitors for gaming

I'm sure it's a fantastic idea to go out and buy an ultrawide or superwide monitor and play games on it with such immersiveness. However, it's not that straightforward and requires a lot more effort to get it working correctly.

Once you go ultrawide, you'll never look back. =)

I personally been happily using my 3440x1440p Ultrawide now for 2 years and absolutely loving it. I prefer adventure driven, open world titles and some FPS gaming as well. If you can use the ultrawide or Super ultrawide ratio then why not? Just use 32:9 for one of the many single player & numerous fps multiplayer titles and 16:9 when you can’t benefit from the wider screen format. The one disadvantage I’ve personally seen is the lack of high refresh monitors above 120/144hz, but those refresh rates are still impressive with an appropriately powered GPU to drive it.

You covered a whole bunch of things I was worried about flawless wide-screen is gonna be my go to...

Exactly what I was looking for thank you brother :)

Remember that not allot of games don't support 3400 x 1440p (21:9) monitors (curved) at the moment so be careful, sometimes the ratio won't show up lol so you have to chose another size

i'm in a very strange situation. I need a universal monitor to combine Macbook and PC-gaming. I have to main candidates.
1. MSI 322upf. Amazing text clarity, KVM, Type-C + 90w. Good amount of screen space.
2. LG 38GN950. Normal text clarity, I'm really curious to try that ultra-wide experience. I have ~40% discount on this model. I need to buy ~200$ worse of KVM and docking station to connect Macbook with single cable (just want it).

I've tested LG twice in the store. First attempt was awful, but second round felt better. What should I do? Should I go all-in with LG or get really universal solution? I think I'll get 3-month test period with LG and will be able to return in case I don't like it.

Ninja Gaiden 3 how to make it ultrawide, ive search many method but doesn't work

[Steramell]

ultrawide on competitive game isn't just make you unfair, but it makes you nausea

[FranciscoRodriguez-bqbs]

Hi Sr. ! I mainly call of duty: warzone and dota 2, you recomend a ultra wide for thoose games? im thinking to buy de samsung odyssey G8 (34")

[SuzukiGsxr]

I use 5120x1440 49inch ultra wide. Not good for gaming. But super comfortable for workstation

advantges: if you play competitive game, u can see a LOT of things which is make the enemy player harder to hide from your FOV, and also great for work / productivity stuff

disadvantages: gaming performamce reduction

i play racing games like nfs heat where the FPS are stable in 140, now goes down to 90 FPS

but here's the performance reduction you'll likely to get

ultrawide you'll have around 20% of performance reduction, on superwide that could be 40 to 50%.
so before you bought ultrawide / superwide monitor for gaming, make sure your GPU are strong enough to push it.

and plus if you have curved like mine, you'll likely getting some funny side effect on your eye sight.

Was just about to drop £1000 on a 40” ultra wide. Think you’ve just saved me a lot of money. 32” 1440p it is then

What about RTS gaming? Would I be making a big mistake choosing say the Alienware 3423DWF instead of say the Asus PG27AQDM?
