Support NeoGAF

[jshackles]

Just curious what everyone is using. I anticipate that 16:9 will get the most poll votes (they are still far and away the best-selling monitors), but I'm also curious who else is rocking ultra-wide.

 

[OverHeat]

21:9

 

[Black_Stride]

Even when I used to game on a TV I still set a custom resolution to enjoy that sweet sweet ultrawide.

 

[DanEON]

16:9 most of the time.
But I use 21:9 in some games just to gain some frames (like cyberpunk)

 

[Bulletzen72]

Been using 21:9/ultrawide for over 10 years now. Can't go back to 16:9

 

[Clintizzle]

Zack Snyder 4:3 is the only way to play.

 

[AV]

16:9. Get the appeal of ultrawide but I tried it for a month and it just wasn't for me ultimately.

4K as well, 1440p is nice but anyone who claims there's no noticeable difference is sight impaired.

 

[SmokedMeat]

16:9. I considered Ultrawide last time I was monitor shopping, but ultrawidescreen support seemed hit or miss. At least at the time.

 

[Magic Carpet]

82 inches of 16:9.
VRR, HDR finally working in Windows 11.
Got the wireless Series X controller and a rocker recliner
Use a wireless keyboard/trackball on the armrests to do the mouse pointer stuff.
I have to get up and walk all the way to the fridge for a beer.

I’m definitely considering an ultrawide monitor this year. OverHeat coming back from the shadow realm might cost me. I saw that setup with alienware OLED and felt it in my undercarriage.

 

[64bitmodels]

16:9. Maybe I'll get curved but otherwise that's as far as I'll go when it comes to the fancy monitor shenanigans. Ultrawides compatibility is spotty and seems like a pain in the ass to really use, gotta turn your head to get a full view...

 

[Randall365]

21:9 is ideal for a desk - 16:9 on the couch of course.

 

[xrnzaaas]

16:10 technically. I have zero interest in going wider.

[Laptop1991]

16.9

 

[Crayon]

I pretty much only play PC games on tv. I've got an ultra wide in our office but I can't remember the last time I played a game at desk.

 

[SoloCamo]

16:9 - 4k 60hz

Still is.

 

[fersnake]

been thinking to go back to 16:9 just because the trouble with streaming and obs, but damm i love my 21:9 monitor hehe

 

[jshackles]

Been using 21:9/ultrawide for over 10 years now. Can't go back to 16:9

I got my 21:9 monitor in 2017 and have absolutely loved it since. I just upgraded to 32:9, and it's also pretty darn great.

One thing I love about my new 32:9 monitor is it can do "picture by picture", splitting into two virtual 16:9 monitors.

 

[Schmendrick]

32:9 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9

Can't go back to 16:9 after this

 

[Holammer]

21:9 is cool, but you're basically burning GPU juice rendering for your peripheral vision. Cool for flight sims & driving games and such for immersion.
For the games I play, 16:9 is enough.

 

[MiguelItUp]

16:9

 

[Kacho]

21:9 bro here. Ultrawide is the sheeeeit.

Not pictured: my graphics card on fire

 

[R6Rider]

16:9 although I might try using my TV as a big widescreen at some point.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

16:9 4K 140 ppi

 

[Hudo]

2:4096

 

[Krappadizzle]

16:10 forgotten by everyone I see.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Still is.

Is there any game where there is no workaround?

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

16:9.

 

[hollams]

16:9 - 4K60 - 132 Inch Projector screen
16:9 - 4k120 - 77 Inch Oled
32:9 - 1440P/140 - 49 Inch

 

[Soodanim]

I wish view results was on so we could see who the glorious 4:3ers are (other than Clintizzle)

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

16:9

want to go wider, but i aint sacrificing vertical res, dont want LED, and the screen needs to be BIG.

 

[TheStam]

21:9 on my monitor, 16:9 on TV and 16:10 on Steam Deck I guess.

Love 21:9

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I can't stand using ultra wide for anything but maybe FPS and even then I prefer 16:9.

If a laptop doesn't have 16:10 I'm not buying it however that's easy since MacBook's are superior.

 

[TrebleShot]

Can I blow your mind?

21:10

Like halfway point between 21:9 and 16:9

Ultra wide light and great for OLED TVs.

 

[RagnarokIV]

4:3 and 16:9 so I voted 4:3 (my most used)

 

[ReBurn]

Mostly whatever Steam Deck is.

 

[Garibaldi]

12:5 (3840*1600) altho most games just report it as 21:9.

Got a 16:9 4K too if the game doesn't support ultrawide.

Deck is 16:10 (800p) and a 4K OLED for the consoles.

 

[Leonidas]

Mostly use 16:9 (desktop) and 16:10 (steam deck)

But if I'm emulating old hardware or if an old game doesn't support widescreen I'll use 4:3 (black bars on the side).

I also have a 21:9 custom resolution set up so I can expeirence that resolution too (black bars top and bottom).

 

[sigmaZ]

21:9 all day all night.
I have a huge 4k OLED but unless Im watching a movie, I prefer my ultrawide OLED.

 

[Quixz]

16:9 - 2560 X 1440 because I like high frame rates.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

16:9

If 16:10 were still a thing for monitors I would go with that though.

 

[SnapShot]

420:69

 

[IAmRei]

16:9, one laptop one monitors, pretty standard.

 

[awwr999999]

21:9 is cool, but you're basically burning GPU juice rendering for your peripheral vision.

Good point although anything wider than 4:3 is burning resources for peripheral vision.
It'd be interesting to get an arcade game that utilizes most of the screen (e.g., Ms. Pac-Man) with a wide 16:9 aspect ratio next to the OG arcade configuration in 4:3 and figure out which is best.
Objectively speaking there exists an ideal aspect ratio for displays being used for interactive media - gaming, drone piloting and security camera monitoring.

 

[V1LÆM]

16:9

16:10 on steam deck

I'm not a fan of wide screen monitors. too much hassle to get most games working and I am not playing with huge black bars. 16:10 on steam deck is bad enough.

 

[Spukc]

21:9 is ideal for a desk - 16:9 on the couch of course.

This

 

[Codeblew]

I have a 32:9 monitor but I don't play everything using the full screen.

 

[Kamina]

21:9
I had no clue what a difference this would be.
