They're cool but I found my Odyssey to be better for work stuff than gaming. Not enough games support the aspect ratio and the ones that do don't have any options for adjusting the game to match the angle of curvature of the monitor. I'm surprised nobody has even thought about the curve, all ultrawide monitors are curved now so it should be a given option along with ultrawide resolutions.
The last time I bought a monitor was in 2018 so I was thinking about upgrading. Does anyone have an ultrawide...

2018 is really quite some time ago. I was still happy then.

Forgot now that I have a job and money I could actually buy a new monitor. I want something 1440p 144hz, what would Yea Forums recommend?

These screenshots were literally taken after that update. It's also a garbage update in general, they completely fucked the scaling for the HUD and UI so it looks like a fucking apple product. What else can you expect from modern valve, I guess.
Sure, just like how not every game supports ultramemes out of the box. Changing your FOV is like changing your fucking level of AA, it takes 2 seconds in a menu and isn't really a good reason to pay more money for less monitor.

>pay more money for less monitor
lmao, it's this dumb cunt again
that's not how aspect ratios work, we've been over this

True, but if something doesn't go right then you have to search for another workout. For example, after a million years I got Tales of Arise to play in UW, but the camera is too zoomed in so I have to look up to zoom out hack. Another example is that cutscenes are not in UW. All in all, it is just too tiring and timing consuming.
I mean they outright don't have an option for UW, you will play in 16:9 with black bars on the side and it sucks. Workarounds work, but you have to give something like online play, glitchy sides when loading screen, or the game forces 16:9 for cutscenes which breaks the immersion. Don't get me wrong, while it sucks UW is still king and I won't go back. Movies especially look amazing, which is something that isn't stated that much.

Yup. And It's fine, I buy $2k computers almost monthly so I'm not complaining about the gaming focus. But if these monitor producers really want me to spend cash then I'm going to need some proper incentives. Meaning focus on what filmers/editors want.

Honestly the only time I had to spend more than 5 minutes getting a patch right for UW was fallout 4, and in the end it was because of mod issues that caused me my problems.
Otherwise if it isn't in flawless widescreen yet googling Ultrawide Patch for [Game] Reddit ends up getting me to a thread of people talking about how to fix any issues that come up, including if its zoomed in etc.

Should I feel bad I've been using a pair of 24" 1080p Dell monitors since 2012?
But if it counts I've torn down an ipad 3 and I'm turning it into a 9.7" 2K monitor for retro vidya at a clean 6x scale; just waiting on the driver board from aliexpress.
