Not for this model specifically, but it means we're getting closer, and that's exciting in its own way.
You're going to have a bad time friend if you use a ps4 pro on a wide screen monitor.
Cautiously hyped. It depends on price but this is the 21:9 resolution I've been waiting for before upgrading from my 16:9 1080p. I really want a huge PPI upgrade alongside a resolution jump (got so used to how crisp my Surface Book 2 display is that my 1080p monitor looks like soup), so I need 2160p on desktop soon =)
Disappointing. Thanks for clarification!
We may not even see consoles support it this gen but if enough people request support of it, it's possible we can see some firmware update that later supports it(game devs would still need to support it on their end in their future games which may be a headache for some devs as it changes how you frame your cutscenes unless they are done with black borders). I can only see MS realistically adding the option to their OS for ultra wide screen resolutions.
I have a very similar monitor to this one (mine has speakers), it's great for the price.
I have one of those and i adore it. Thing's a beast, especially next to my 27" dell 1440. No regrets, just need a pc that can handle doing things on it now :)
Amazing monitor, got it too earlier this year. Ebay btw has it cheaper at the moment
Hellbade looks so good at 21:9 but I got an Oculus so I'm gonna stick to that!I'm here with a 2560x1080 LG monitor. Cheap, good colors, 75 Hz, FreeSync. I don't want to go back to 16:9.
For now almost every game works without problem, the only ones that are locked to 16:9 are some indie games or regular ports like Nioh, but there are community made fixes.
Playing Hellblade right now
I've loved it since I got mine and I would love every person to adopt it and for every game to support it. But it's not impossible to go back, or even necessarily hard to. I use my 16:9 laptop for Siege all the time. Games like first-person shooters benefit a lot from the additional space but I don't think it's game-changing, at least casually. In fact, a few times Wolfenstein 2 would accidentally switch back to 16:9 and I shit you not, I didn't notice it until a few minutes in because I was having a such a blast shooting Nazis.
Yeah finally plumped for a z35p for similar money (x34 for £610 is brilliant though). Absolutely fantastic; been holding off playing Witcher 3 until I picked one up. I've been waiting for the next gen of ultra wide but they look to have all the problems of this gen at an unacceptable price.
Not every game supporting it means I have to go back on a regular basis, by playing games pillarboxed. I've gotten used to having a mix of 16:9 and 21:9 where I can so it's not that difficult I don't think. Even games that have support forced through mods may not always work so well (Okami comes to mind: it looks a horrible mess whenever a conversation starts). Even games that purport to support it properly may not: stretched HUD/UI (No Man's Sky, though I've heard there is a mod for that but have yet to try it), or vertically cropped (vert-) rather than horizontally extended to make the picture fit (QUBE2 - Overwatch too).
I find it actually makes cockpit views in racing games viable. Without it one cannot feel comfortable driving from that view. Dedicated setups or be are obviously better, but as a simple implementation wide-screen works just fine.
I don't have the game installed right now to check, but doesn't Overwatch just do a zoom/crop when dealing with ultrawide? If so, wouldn't that be more of a disadvantage over normal 16:9?
Just want to add I've used this custom resolution myself with varied results. A few games recognised the resolution no problem, like Horizon 4 and The Division. Both played in Fullscreen. Other games only worked in Windowed or Borderless windowed like Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Xcom 2. Many games didn't recognise it at all like Destiny and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (SofTR was a bit of a surprise because it offers 21:9 anyway). So when it works it's great but very dependent on games.
I'm almost at the same point; I feel the same. Additionally what really puts me off is when games support 21:9 at gameplay but show bars in cutscenes. All the gained immersion is out the window at that point and it is ultimately a less consistent experience compared to 16:9 while 21:9 itself is pretty awesome.
Did you not have GPU scaling enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel?
Yes, I always have GPU scaling enabled. DSR only work with downscaling is a shame and wasn't really a problem until I used that 3440x1440 monitor (naturally, there's no need to upscaling with a 1080p monitor paired with a GTX 1070). That also explains why DSR won't work on my 4k screen, ouputting 3200x1800. But at least here custom resolutions work and I don't need DSR (4k is all I need anyways, if performance is good enough, even in older games).
