Give me one reason why I shouldn't get an ultrawide monitor.

Poor?
You'll be frustrated by the absolute lack of support from AAA developers.
i'd actually kill myself if i had to play a fps on that
long monitor is loooong
You'd probably wish the screen were a little taller.
Most games don't support it, and the ones that do are usually pretty shitty
how do you play normal video games on this
If you can put up with games not support UW, which you can easily apply a hex patch to, go wide.
no reason not to, i'm buying the odyssey g9 whenever samsung has it in stock
been using a 21:9, but could use an even wider one
for games that don't support ultrawide, I just set it to 16:9
with the extra real-estate of a 32:9, i'd just do windowed 16:9 probably and display other stuff on the sides
lack of support for 21:9
so sick of black bars during cutscenes and fucked up UI elements
Because I just don't want you to have one.
Almost no games will support it. And if they do the UI will be fucked up guaranteed.
>muh ultrawide support
Just use fullscreen.
what would this be good for flight sims or something? diablo style games? when I was using a wide monitor on a lot of games it would just have a black border because the game wouldn't support ultrawide
as someone with an ultrawide, I can say it depends on the type of game you like to play
if you play games with 3d engines, it will most likely support it (even early 2010 games typically support it), though some support it better than others where they try to center your UI elements so they aren't on the edges of your monitor (e.g. Doom Eternal)
if you play games where it's mostly 2d sprites, or japanese console ports, chances are you'll have to set it to 16:9
a friend of mine got one
now everytime we try to play a game together 90% of the time he starts bitching it doesnt support his retarded aspect ratio
money well spent retard
This man gets it.
>Widescreen
>When all the good visual novels are 4:3
No thanks, I don't like black bars.
kino
>He doesn't have two monitors (one in portrait and one in landscape) and a CRT on his desk
Not gonna make it.
WE CAN GO... EVEN WIDER!!
why do i need more than 1 monitor to play visual novels
this is triggering me user
Multi VN drifting.
you can buy three or four 27 inch monitors for the same price.
most games wont support your hipster resolution
cant watch movies, anime, tv shows or youtube on it because they wont support your hipster screen ratio

i dont get the "one monitor vertical" meme when you need your 2nd and 3rd monitors horizontal for shit like watching shows, multiboxxing, multiple webpages etc.
surely no-one's actually addicted to Zig Forums or facebook enough to use vertical just for that.
you need a decent video card because if you want 1440p, you need 4k horizontal res and you've gotta be OK with fixing some games to work properly
also some 2D games will use pillar box and there is nothing you can do about them
It's good for work and shmups.
attentional bandwidth
They all look like midgets, it's fucking hilarious

Lol....
