Posted April 23, 2014 hey guys I'm currently in the midst of building my steam machine and looking for a display,I'm not going for a monitor my main rig will suffice for that. I want just an awesome tv for gaming when I got buds over and after seeing linus review today it got me hooked for a 21:9 screen I'm using this solely for gaming and movies. not regular t.v. which I know can only support 16:9, so I'm wondering if this tv is a good choice or should I just stick with a 16:9, also are there any other CHEAP 21:9 t.v.'s that are around the same price and size here's a link to the t.v. http://www.vizio.com/cinemawide/overview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 23, 2014 I wouldn't say so, that's a pretty fair price for what you're getting. Says the one with 2 titans and a 4k monitor. Seriously though, there are better ways to use that money.

Posted April 23, 2014 Says the one with 2 titans and a 4k monitor. Seriously though, there are better ways to use that money. I don't see how my overkill PC makes the TV worth any less? It's pretty much within the price range of the other 3D TVs in that form factor. Sure there might be better uses for the money, but that's not for you, me, or anyone else except the person with the money to decide.
