<div><span style="font-size: small;">21:9 monitors have done a good job of filling a couple niche positions in the marketplace. For someone that wants a single display to watch movies and use with the PC, the aspect ratio can work well. With many games, the wider field-of-view enhances games with more information on screen at once and a more immersive experience. Where they have fallen short is with their vertical resolution of 1080 pixels. Running two applications side-by-side makes everything feel cramped. For regular office work a 27&rdquo; display for the same price has provided a better user experience.</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: small;">Now we have the first 21:9 aspect ratio monitor with 1440 pixels of vertical resolution, the LG 34UM95. That provides the same vertical area as a 27&rdquo; display but 3440 horizontal pixels instead of 2560. The larger size makes running two programs side-by-side equivalent to dual 20&rdquo; displays at 1720x1440, or a 6:5 aspect ratio. Furthermore, the additional real estate makes it much easier to use for non-gaming or movie use. From spreadsheets to word processing, image editors to web browsers, the additional vertical space makes a large difference.</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/8057/lg-34um95-monitor-review" target="_blank">Read more...</a></span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div>
