Hey guys,

Just curious, with the introduction of 21:9 monitors, who on here owns one?

I would have bought one to replace my 1080 screen but with 4k on the horizon, It's kind of pointless. I think the timing was horrible with these kinds of monitors.

I feel like they take up more room than they are worth. I've got a 1920x1200 screen as my main display that I am quite happy with at the moment.

I would get one if they were priced lower, I jsut went with a Qnix 27" 1440p monitor for cheaper then the 21:9 and the non korean 1440p. Mine set me back $370 and was ship as a pixel perfect one. my issue with monitors over 1920x1080 is the price.

Personally I would prefer 2. But a single 4K 24inch sounds better to me.

 

Dell will have a 21:9 - 3440 x 1440 resolution, 34inch. That is more interesting than the current 29inch model which is only 2560x1080. That model will be far more interesting than the current one.
