The first ultra wide gaming experience I had was with Shadow of Mordor. It was like walking onto the set of one of the Peter Jackson movies.
If you can swing it, I recommend the extra step of getting a curved ultra wide. I started with one and ended up swapping it with a bigger flat one for some productivity features and the corners just felt so far away from me that it diluted the gaming experience a bit.
















As someone who worked IT help desk in the mid/late aughts: fuck VGA and DVI. Let them stay dead. If I had a nickel for every time I snagged one in a desk’s rat’s nest on every single USB or power cable while trying to route cables, I could build me a top of the line gaming rig with 2026 prices.
