21:9 looks more immersive.
Yeah, I don't have a 21:9 monitor, but I have 21:9 smartphone, after that 16:9 is ugly.
@@rubenvardumyan9661 nothing stretched that is ugly go 16:9 21:19 in the next two years get optimized!
@Edward Jam then you are oblivious and delusional. even plenty of current games do NOT properly support that aspect ratio. some games do not work at all in that aspect ratio. some games simply zoom in thus cutting off some info from the top and bottom. some games have screwed up hud elements even if you do get the image to properly scale. some games dont properly display on screen effects outside of the 16:9 area. most games do not do the cut scenes in anything other than 16:9. some games distort the edges of the image outside of 16:9. FFS you can spend more time trying to tweak and fix games than actually playing them. hell there is even a whole website dedicated to trying fix and address most of these issues. bottom line is that it is YOU that is talking out of your ass. you are the same type of moron that will tell people SLI works great in all your games too...
@@robertsharp6072 He literally just said that he plays all games, including 10 years ago, in 21:9. And you're calling him delusional for that. That's real fucking mature of you, throwing a bunch of nonsense made to confuse others. Nice try, but almost any game will work at 21:9. And it's definitely better than 16:9. If you're that stubburn and hate 21:9 that much, then just admit it and say you really love the old 16:9 aspect ratio.
@Edward Jam He just doesn't believe you, don't worry. He probably does play on console and crying that he can't play at 21:9 ratio.
Got my first ultrawide a while ago and was mindblown by the additional immersion in games, after you get used to it it's very hard to go back to 16:9. Bought it for productivity but it ended up being a big gaming upgrade lol
Nice, I can't wait to get my ultrawide within a few months from now!
If you play on 21:9 monitor once there is no way back
Correct
Aww couldn't agree more 😪 got my self the aw3423dwf and I just can't got back to my old monitor.
@@martinvr12 I was planning to buy the DWF too... but don't you think 165 Hz is low? It would be great if it was 240 Hz. I play competitive and single games
@Samukr. Depends, but since I'm rocking an rtx 3080 and playing mostly Single Player games my gpu averages 160fps depending on the game and settings, so imo this is the sweet spot, I also play CoD a lot and going from my old Acer 144hz monitor to this one, is like night a day, I'll say 165hz is more than enough for me, the image itself is smooth and no more blurriness that I had from my old monitor. Not a big difference of HZ but image quality in general was big.
21:9 look so epic
Great video! Third person games look so nice on 21:9.
Thanks 😊
Super nice and clean edition, thank you so much.
Great work💥
Thanks a lot.
I like the 21:9 aspect ratio 😊
Once you switch to 21:9, there is no way back...beware...
yes, 60 fps looks so stuttery now after playing in the 165 fps
@@thomasjones3206I wish it was 240hz because I play comp. and single games

Love your vids man, thanks a lot.
you basically get to see more of the game... I like it.
Best video on youtube showing the difference, many thanks
I have been playing with 21 9 for two years and I don't understand how 16 9 monitors are still being sold .... do you spend a bit on graphic cards and you miss pieces of the map?

21:9 should be supported by every game, the reason that some games don't support ultrawide because the developer block it. Dragon quest 11 ver 1.0 can use any 21:9 resolutions by editting the hex value. The dev didn't like it and updated the game version and ultrawide doesn't work anymore. The happens to some other games that the dev don't like 21:9.
Why they do this tho? They got nothing to lose. If I ever make my videogame a reality it will be 21:9 and have VR support! Best experience ever without even leaving the spawning point xD
You should revisit with fps showing. Just got my first 21:9 today. Wanted one the first time I saw one on display at microcenter years ago, and it was just one of the first 25/27" (something like that) tiny ones by LG. Had never heard of the format, was there for like an HDMI cable and it stopped me dead in my tracks. Got a 35" 1440p today. It should last me until the rtx 6000 series is released 😁
I love this video, shuts people up who do not understand aspect ratios and FOV.
I have been playing video games and working in 21 9 for 4 years now, I don't understand why people keep using monitors 16 9. Some people object that not all programs are optimized in 21 9, like older movies and video games, but what a problem it is ? You will have the same surface as 16 9, you just have to consider that a 34 "equals 27". Because you all went en masse from 4 3 to 16 9 and not 21 9🤔🤔🤔
Imagine having a 21:9 monitor playing csgo on 4:3

Never thought I’d ever say but, I think 21:9 might be my next main monitor.
Im getting one tomorrow, i’ll tell you how it is compared to a 16:9 monitor
@@lindell8057 just ordered one, how is it?
@@MrXaniss depends, its a very great monitor for casual gaming, but since im more into FPS games it didnt suite me. The response times are slower compared to a regular gaming monitor which felt obvious when i compared them side to side, but i’m picky.
If you’re a casual player you’ll love it, it’s great for gaming and even greater for regular multitasking
@@MrXaniss it’s definitely more immersive than a 16:9 monitor, when i play casual games i wish i had a ultrawide monitor, right now i got a 260hz 1440p monitor which suites me better
Nowadays it is my main monitor.
Спасибо за труд!
Please i need advise. On 55 inch 120hz tv what is best 16.9 100fov or 21.9 95 fov ? It gives some view angle and I know 21.9 gives more fps to but what is the best option for multi-player game.
I have a Dell S3220DGF 32" 165hz 16:9 monitor. I was thinking of going to the new Dell ultrawide S3422DWG 21:9 144hz (I like Dell monitors). I like the vertical height of this 32". With the 34" 21:9, what would the screen vertical height be equal to in 16:9 terms, 27"?
Yes exactly. If you wanted the same vertical height as your 32" 16:9 you'd need a 38" ultrawide
1:31 I really love your content bro it makes my day better
1:12 You are the best youtuber on the platform without a doubt
very nice comparison, i wish 21:9 is more popular format than it is
Its becoming
Very nice
If you can accept that black bars are necessary in some games and videos, I don't really see why not to get an ultrawide over a 16:9
I need to test it by myself but in the DOOM test I felt I could focus better with the 16:9 than the 21:9. But the other tests are just like coming from looking through a window to being in another world...
Everyone that reads this I hope you have a wonderful day!
I really want this for gaming, but for watching series, youtube and playing games that don't support it I'm still scared of the black bars.
The good thing is that if you watch movies, and they were filmed for cinema. It's usually made for the wider screen. So you'll actually see more
@@Bloodbone I got one and it's great. The black bars are not that bad
The videos don’t seem like a big difference but once you actually see it in person it’s huge I will never go back to 16:9
So true, and same here, ultrawide all the way for now on.
Что лучше, 2к 34 дюйма 21:9 144 гц, или 4к 27 дюймов?
i think 38" 21:9 is the sweet spot because it has about same height of 32" when in 16:9 mode.
What about FPS compared to 21:9 -> 16:9?
what about the FPS?
deos it effects? or it is the same?
More pixels, less fps. 2560x1080 its more demanding then 1920x1080.
It depends on the game and your pc, but is around 15% to 25% less fps.
33% more pixel to render, 33% less frames and more VRAM/RAM speed/size would be required...
GTX 1060 6GB / R7 570x can do 2560x1080 without issue (60-100fps gameplay)...
For 3560x1440p you do need to upgrade to something way stronger and "4k" ready since you have 150% more pixels to render (massive difference)
There aren't middle grounds when it comes to ultra-wide and wish 2:1 (2560x1280) was a thing since I don't find 21:9 been the perfect aspect impo.
2560x1440 16:9 (80% more pixels) is more demanding than 21:9 2560x1080p, so that's something good about it and is where a jump into GTX 1070/2060 might be required for most AAA titles.
Nice! 21:9
Sarebbe stato molto interessante se avessi riportato gli fps per capire il passaggio al 21:9 quanti se ne mangia... comunque 21:9 spettacolare!!
20% average
Need suggestion here what about ultrawide curve monitors , Someone told me you can't read subtitles properly on curvy wide-screen monitors even they sre not good for gaming please help me to choose between flat and curvy monitors.
pity this is not the case for those who play on consoles
1:30 this is hilarious this is why you're my favorite youtuber
ok im gonna ask something dumb but does this effect fps? like the higher u go the less fps u get?
Yes
21:9 is amazing.
21:9 is epic
Is this 2560 x 1440 or 3440 x 1440? :)
How much more difficult is it to run 21:9 over 16:9?
It’s not that much more difficult. It’s easier to run than 2560x1440p
like -10 FPS drop maybe...
@zoki kostadinov Man you are mistaking what he's talking about.
He's saying a 21:9 2560 x 1080 screen is easier to run than a 16:9 2560 x 1440 screen. as the 21:9 screen while wider, has fewer pixels.
2560 x 1080 is fine if that's what their hardware can run comfortably at. There's nothing wrong with running games in FHD. Sounds like your horse is a bit too high which you should climb down from...
10% more maybe, i've been running 16:9 before i go to 21:9, if you have enough powerfull rig it will be unnoticeable
Good video! But I prefer 4:3, it's a inverted 21:9 haha
actually 21:9 is twice of 4:3 aspect ratio. so 4:3 x 2 = 21:9. you can see it
and 16:9 is twice of 1:1 or 2 square
that must be like wearing horse blinders or looking through toilet paper tubes relatively
Once you go ultrawide you can’t go back 😄. Curved ultrawide is even more amazing.
Same, got my ultrawide in early 2023 and will never buy another 16:9 monitor.
Everyone praises the 21: 9 format, but could everyone compare the 35 3440x1400 monitors with the 32 2560x1400 ..? Still, 32 is more than 27, and when there is a comparison of 21: 9 and 16: 9, they usually compare 34 and 27 inches and here 34 inches (21: 9) will definitely win, but can he just as easily beat the monitor 32 inches ...?
and 21:9 screens basically does not support 4K
21:9 monitor best for productivity and gaming thank you for compramison
Do you think that for gaming is better a 16.9 144hz or a 21.9 75hz?
21 9 75hz
@@massimomare2575 nope the 16:9 with 144hz is better

@@massimomare2575 you lose frame rate and that's bad. Now if it's 120 or even 100 that's good and will recommend over the 16:9 144hz
@@aadisahni You have to get yourself a more powerful card, otherwise just stick to playing FHD. However the frame is superior to 4K
2:42 that was so funny
does it change a lot in terms of fps?
Yes, sometimes 10-30% difference depending on the game.
Is ist on ps5 strached or can I see also a bit more of the game?
It's stretched on PS5.
My faveourite thing is it moves all the u.i put further less clutter more clean which i noticed you didnt do 😊
Which for u? Uw or 4k
UW, more better get 4k UW, trust me after you get the 21:9, you never want to go back to 16:9
man, make a review of the AW3420DW pls
You have to choose between losing some upper part of the view (21:9) or some side part (16:9) i don't like wide screens it looks like compressed to down The more square the screen, the more balanced the view
Only on games not optimized for 21:9, otherwise it’s the same and you don’t loose upper/lower going 21:9 if the game was made to support ultrawide.
you lose like 3 cm lmao by that logic16:9 looks like sideways compressed version of 21:9. And the only reason 21:9 looks like compressed to down version of 16:9 is because you are looking the comparison here. If you only had 21:9 monitor in front of yourself, you wouldn't know about it and therefore there would be nothing to bother you.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort he puts into his content for us. Love the videos!
Can you run a 21:9 on a 16:9 monitor with black bars on top and bottom?
Yes. I play on 21:9 ratio on my laptop. Use a custom resolution of 1920*822 in your Nvidia control panel. Can't go back to 16:9, no matter how hard tried.
@@ascerta u mean u can't revert to 16:9 default resolution back?

Where where the benchmark results?
Ok I came here angry because I spent 100$ more for 21:9 without realizing it but this is blowing my mind. How does the image look so much bigger when both monitors are the same size??
Wow 1:50 was so funny
Can you please tell me i there any fps difference
There will be as running games in ultra widescreen demands a bit more power but it's still manageable.
what about fps?
little less fps than 1080 but FAR better than 1440p, say like 25% of the fps change from 1080 to 1440
Sony experia 10 may not be the flagship phone compared to the Samsungs and the iPhones but this video wouldn't look this good on them either
👍
Benchmark for games >> doesn't include benchmarks?
This isnt a benchmark vid, its just to compare 16:9 to 21:9
Believe in me you should buy a 55 inches TV for gaming because you can customize pc 21:9, 25:9 or 32:9.
16:9 is perfect for videos
will der be black bars iy YT/NFilx/Prime??
For CZcams it depends if the uploader optimizes their video in 21:9 otherwise the standard is 16:9 on youtube. But for Movies. The standard is made for 21:9 because they film movies using 21:9. Therefore, movies and games are meant to be viewed in 21:9. Btw if you watch youtube videos with a 21:9 monitor there will be black bars on the left and right
This is a false problem, as you will still have the same visual surface as a 27 ", you lose nothing.
Literally more game, I don't see any problem.
16:9 antiquity
steam statistics is telling that 21:9 is still a niche product though
that's not scretched because there is an option for each games "select aspect ratio 16:9 or 21:9"
Your life was all a lie, all your games where hiding behind the limits of your 16:9 monitor.
My phone screen aspect ratio is 21.5 : 9
but 16:9 is fullscreen on most of the screens
I prefer 16:9, is better than 21;9.

This doesn't show the height advantage of 16:9, which is nicer for browsing, editing and coding. The 21:9 and wider screens are too short/narrow
How? They're the same height with 21:9 having more width.
