It's 2560x1080, and also only 25" whereas 29" is more common for that resolution. Might be a bit on the small side. :)

That's actually about the right price for that monitor, maybe $20-30 more normally, so it's a good deal, although you may find that height wise it's a little small, I would go for a 29" ultrawide if you're getting an ultrawide format 21:9 display, they will be the same height as a 24" display. 

 

If you wanted a 1440 one then it's 3440x1440 for the ultrawide 21:9 format, and they are 34" (Same height as a 27" display) although they will come with a heavy increase in price and also need a lot more GPU power to run games on it.

yuck, thats the 25" 21:9... thats TOO SMALL for 21:9

 

they better sell it for negative price (they pay me to take it) before they can get rid of the stock of those 25" widescreens
