A lot of games will fake full ultrawide support by reducing the vertical height of the image.
See the images I posted here of terraria
Gaming and general purpose monitors
Couldn't do it haha. Can't risk this desk What do you mean? The triple monitor bow goes onto either the wall-mount or desk clamp mount arm as an attachment. So you could have 3 of the LG monitors on the bow, they're only like 6 pounds each.
You can see that the horizontal cut off is the same but there's way less image being shown vertically. It looks GREAT until you realize in the end you're being screwed with less actual image.

3440x1440 is fantastic! The 5120x1440 is the albatross. I tested the LG 38GL whatever...and it was perfect. Except that price. Plus I had in my head I wanted the G9 no matter what!

So much this.
"OMG MY ULTRAWIDE LOOKS AMAZING!!!" - People not realizing that their image is being distorted to shit because games don't properly support those aspect ratios.

This looks great for people who want a cheap ultrawide that performs exceptionally well. It's also not curved which can be a plus for some people:

5120x2160 at 120 hz would be an insane amount of display bandwidth. That would be 30% harder than driving an 8K display at 60 hz.
Don't expect this any time soon.

Indeed, lg has one in the works that does 72 hz which might be good enough. I wouldn’t be gaming on it and if it’s good for having a 27” Mac on the left and 27” pc on the right(along with full screen ability for both) with built in kvm I’d be in work heaven

A bit off topic, but we are discussing monitors and this has kind of become the computer hardware thread.
I already own an ultrawide, not a recent one, but certainly not worth replacing. I was thinking of getting a vertical monitor though. For coding, chatting, and browsing, it seems those fit a long scrolling form better. Am I mistaken that would be useful? And is it as simple as just taking a regular widescreen and rotating it(if the stand allows it), or are their special models made for this?

If you have a screen that is nearly exclusively for forums, Discord, etc then a vertical monitor is amazing. If you play any type of video on it, then it gets a little weird, but not totally unusable. if you are thinking of getting a 2nd monitor anyway, maybe just get one that can rotate, and you can try it out, and if you don't like it can just put it back horizontal?

That would be the safe way to try it. Just wasn't sure there was something special to them beyond just rotating a display 90 degrees.
