This is the cheapest 21/9 I could find and I was wondering how this monitor would be just for movies, TV Shows and general media or browsing on?

 

I would barely do any gaming on it and if I did, it would be to show off to my friends :P

It's decent if you're into that kind of thing. It's too short for my liking.

What do you mean?

21:9 

It's not for everyone and the 25UM55 'sacrifices' some height you'd get from ~23" 16:9 displays for it.

Wouldn't it in theory be better for movies since a lot of moves are almost designed for 21:9?

 

A lot of movies watched on a 16:9 have black bars so shouldn't movies look overall better?

It depends on the movie and your own preference.
