it is 21:9 instead of 16:9 or 16:10 (the ratio of a blu ray to not have black bars.) it would be ok except it dose not really work on desks, and they are charging you extra to lop off the top. the whole thing about work flow is illogical since why not just get that width in 16:9/10 and now you have even more space, and they are not solving a problem as monitors are already being sold at the max width of desks.



2 things, 1) you can order them checked and with a warranty for like $50, and 2) the dual link DVI only is directly driven so it dose 1440p only at whatever you send it for refresh, the ones on 120hz.net were the unlocked with the daughter board and that is hard to find but they are still out there.

You lose FOV with 16:9 and 16:10.

Thats not to say they are bad, but FOV is nice.

the FOV should be a constant horizontally, but i guess games are coded well anymore. you can normally change it though. you can also run a custom rez in 1:1 mapping for whatever you wanted. i see no reason to get a shorter monitor when they are the same price, and especially when they charge you extra for it.

Naturally you are going to use a wider fov with a display like this than you would a 16:9.

Because of the size of this display you're gaining something like 4 inches horizontally while only losing around an inch vertically when compared to a 27" 16:9 display. Having a smaller dot pitch would kind of such though. It really sounds like an interesting display to me. I like the idea of a wide aspect ratio like this. I really wish that they had kept the same aspect ratio but used 1440 pixels vertically.

dell has a 16:10 30" (same width) but they have not updated the price online for 2 years http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...s&sku=224-9949 , dell also sells only LG reference in their office line now so you can get the one in the post already http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...~ck=dellSearch . there was a 16:9 one as well but it is not listed anymore and just the 27" http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...~ck=dellSearch .

That 30" office monitor also costs twice what this 21:9 display does.

Due to the different aspect ratio this display is actually a little over an inch wider than a 30" 16:10.

I don't see the advantage in a 16:10 display for gaming or movies. This clearly is not an office display aimed at productivity.
