I was looking at getting an ultrawide display like the LG 21:9 panels.  I use a 16:10 monitor at work and love the extra vertical real estate for productivity tasks because of everything having tool bars at the top an bottom.  So I was looking for a 21:10 monitor (like 1200x2560), but didn't find anything on Newegg or TigerDirect, so am I missing something or do they just not exist?

Also, does it annoy anyone else that 1080x2560 is actually 64:27 (21.333:9).

If you want extra vertical space go with a 3440 x 1440p

It is still 21:9 but you get the vertical space of 1440p which is more than a 1080p 16:10 monitor.

Yea, but money.  They cost about twice as much, and I don't think my current computer could push that many pixels, and I'd rather not have non-native resolution scaling going on.

Then how about a regular 1440p 16:9 monitor?

Alright an example would be 2560x1200

oh, well i guess i should probably learn more about aspect ratios before posting next time, thanks
