Ultrawide Monitors
Ultrawide Monitors
Ultrawide monitors offer advantages to a wide variety of use cases. With the 21:9 aspect ratio gamers will have a level of immersion they’ve never experienced before with a far wider field of view. You’ll also be able to experience your favourite media at an aspect ratio closer to the 2.39:1 that is used in cinemas, letting you experience it how it was meant to be seen. When used for workflow, the added screen real estate allows for a greater degree of multitasking. A ultrawide display can also be the perfect upgrade for the user who has a multiscreen setup. It offers the same screen real estate while occupying a smaller physical space.
What is Ultrawide resolution?
An ultrawide display utilises a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, giving it an aspect ratio of 21:9. These displays are almost 30% wider than the more common 1440p widescreen display. This allows for immersive gaming and media consumption, as more of the field of view is taken up by the screen at the same time.
What are the benefits of 4K?
- Immersive Viewing -These display offer a greater level of immersion to gamers and home media users. When playing your favourite titles at 3440 x 1440, more of the game world is avaliable to see at the same time. The aspect ratio is close to the standard that has been in use in cinemas since the 1970s, thus any film viewed on one of these monitors will be closer to what the creator envisioned.
- Multitasking -A ultrawide display offers a huge amount of screen real estate. When compared to a normal widescreen monitor, you’ll have the ability to have many more windows open at the same time. With this ability, you’ll find it much easier to multitask on one of these displays.
- Crisper Images -A 3440 x 1440 display offers 4.9 million pixels, a higher pixel density than the 3.7 million offered by a 1440p display. Thanks to this density any image displayed through an ultrawide display will seem that much crisper, and contain much more detail.
