Playing a PS4/XBoxOne/Wii U game on an Ultrawide monitor?

[ShaunOfNintendo]

So I'm currently in the market for the LG 29UM67 for my new set up and I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried using a monitor with that high of a resolution to play on any of the mentioned consoles? The resolution of this monitor is 2560x1080 and 29"

 

Just looking for anyone's personal experience with something like this since if I get this Monitor I'll be switching it back and forth between it being my PC monitor and being my console screen (I also still have a second monitor that'll allow me to still use the PC)

I have tried playing a PS4 on a ultrawide, although it wasn't a 2560 x 1080 monitor.

It just stretch the image to fit the aspect ratio, which means that the image looks pretty warped. but on most 21:9 monitors you can set it to only show the 16:9 image without stratching it.

i'm guessing it's gonna be either stretched, or black bars.

Youre running a very high resolution screen on a console that usally runs at around 900p, and the screen is ultrawide, might not look that good.

You'll have to deal with the black bars

I've heard that when using a good monitor/TV for consoles the upscaling and forced refresh rate looks actually pretty damn good. The TV I have my PC on right now is at a friends and makes many things look as if even Wii games were pushing 60 FPS. Chances are the scale will probably try to get to that 21;9 aspect, and with hopeful thinking it will look pretty damn well as any other PC game would set at 21;9.

PS4 with a 3440x1440 monitor.

 

looks shit, dont do it.

 

get a 4k TV or something (often they cost as much or less then a good 3440x1440p monitor anyway)... the 4k TV will use the onboard hardware to scale up the image correctly. Yes input lag will increase.
