    Gotta disagree with you as an ultrawide user.

    Watching movies is way more fun than on a TV.
    Working on it is very cool. Research is very good with it like browser on the left and Visual Studio on the right.

      Sure, I came at it from a pure gaming angle. From a productivity angle it’s almost as good as multi monitor setup but generally cheaper. And for Movies it can be better than multi monitor setups and for sure better than non-ultrawide (for the right movies of course) but for me movies are a social thing and I can’t stand watching something alone on the computer, generally.

        Totally.
        I still prefer movies on the tv because it’s more comfortable there compared to my desk chair.

      Gonna agree or disagree with both of you - I think gaming is worse most of the time on an ultra wide but doing productivity side by side is really cool, and like you mentioned watching movies works very well with 2.4:1 or similar aspect ratios

        One time I didnt notice the filled in aspect of the movie (16:9 with bars and zoomed) and at one time wondered why the movie is so immersive :D
