I am looking at buying an LG 25UM55 and was wondering how big a normal 16:9 1080p YouTube video would look when played on the 2560x1080 resolution that this monitor is. Can someone with a 25 inch 21:9 monitor measure the size of the display when playing 16:9 media?

small... height of a 20" 16:9

 

 

but if you sit close enough to press your eye balls to the screen... its k, i guess... the pixel density is a overlooked bonus in that case
