It appears to have been fixed. I can run Quake 2 in full 32:9. It took a bit of tinkering and setting the game to GPU scaling seems to have resolved much of it. I dont really like it that wide, but it's already growing on me.
So it’s entirely understandable that most games are designed with a 16:9 presentation in mind, no?
Oh yeah, obviously you could just move further away, but than the vertical real estate would seem smaller so you could take in the extended horizontal image.
I do kind of get it for stuff like this tbf, if you’re REALLY into sims and have loads of spare room and money, then I guess it makes sense.I have a 32:10 ultrawide (Lenovo Y44w-10) that I use for sim racing and I love it.
My simple guess without having used UW but being interested in 21:9 is that it’s mostly immersion. Humans have vision that is wider than it is high, so a screen that more accurately fills that view will give us more of the benefits of peripheral vision, which is a more immersive experience by way of being more natural.So it’s entirely understandable that most games are designed with a 16:9 presentation in mind, no?

I dunno, it’s just not a good trade off to me. I’ve always seen these monitors and just thought to myself:

Nah, you're wrong here. I use my ultrawide for work and it's been completely game changing. The amount of real estate it offers makes your statement completely false. Gaming wise, most titles these days are largely compatible and if they aren't pcgamingwiki will lead you in the right direction to fix them. If not, then fair enough you get black bars. Big deal.
Life without fancy zones is a life not worth living
Understandable for PC versions of games? No. Most games, even old ones, have support for 4:3, 16:10, 16:9 and some even 21:9.
I’m returning it today after work. I’m going back to my two 1440p setup. I’m replacing my Viotek 1440p with the Asus VG27AQ. That has enough features for me to consider. Amazon also has a pain free return policy. I want to see if ELMB is worth it.

youre correct when you say you didn’t read the thread. The issue is not modern games. They run just fine.Hey that's my monitor. It's been pretty good so far. Admittedly GSync-Compatible means Freesync which means no GSync with my old 970. Works fine with my 3070 though. I don't really use BFI but I probably should try it out. (It does make the screen a little dim) Can't say I've really noticed the HDR even though it technically supports it. Oh the speakers on it suck. I mean the only annoyance is that it takes a couple of seconds to go from asleep to on. (It's noticeably than my old dell 22") Oh, and I will admit that I think 27" is a little small if I want to play a game while leaning back in my chair.(IE using a control or joystick.) Overall a pretty good monitor. (Admittedly at the time I was looking for 4k 32" 120hz which didn't exist when I bought it 2 years ago. Those things are around now but are around $1000)I’m getting this monitor instead. It has great reviews. I can use VRR and ELMB at the same time at the expense of HDR, which I’m fine with. I’ll pair this with my BenQ 1440p 60Hz

If any of you have this let me know.
It’s not 240 Hz, since those were $500 .
Most older games do have ports that will work. Unreal and unreal tournament has major issues on my 32:9. Although I realized that I never downloaded the unofficial patched which I think add true widescreen support. ID games will run on anything. Rage still has issues though. I can’t get that to run higher than 60 fps.
Yes, I calibrated it with actual calibration software and tools. I hate it.
Same here. I follow Rtings settings for TVs and adjust from there. I like slight saturation in my image. Just a personal preference.
Nee idea then. Might as well get rid if it's giving you health issues. Love mine.
Good fucking riddance
This is where I will remain for the time being.
It’s older games and this monitor has major issues handling those resolutions. The monitor causes PC crashes and has weird issues like the screen fading to black when starting something that isn’t running at native issues.
I shouldn’t have to unplug and replug a monitor.
either way. It’s irrelevant as I am going back to my old 2x1440p setup. I had no issues there.
