Want to buy a new monitor looking at those 21:9 monitors. Do most games support that ratio or waste of time getting one?

Pretty much every new game supports 21:9... I have 84 games on steam and I would say that around 70 of them support 21:9.

The only game that has been released in the last year that hasn't supported 21:9 is Black Flag.

I would highly recommend 21:9 for gaming. I have had my Dell for the past year and a half and my next monitor will be one of those 34" Curved 21:9 monitors... Currently waiting for a GSYNC version.

If you are gonna get a 21:9 monitor then try check out LG and Samsung Curved 34' 21:9 monitor. I have a LG 34UM95 (none curved one) and all I can say its the best monitor I ever have. When you go 21:9 then its really hard to go back to "normal" monitor :)

Plus current 21:9 monitor is not so heavy to run like 4K monitor.

3440*1440 ones? I am wanting the LG 34 curved one.... But I think it is expensive :(

29" 2560x1080 120Hz TN GSYNC... Where rumoured but no concrete evidence yet.

Either way this LG for me is the most appealing monitor... Just wish it had GSYNC, that being said it already costs £1K!

The one I want. Could do without the speakers on it though.
