Look, the fundamental difference between an ultrawide monitor and a regular monitor is the aspect ratio. Unlike the standard 16:9 aspect ratio, an ultrawide monitor has a wider 21:9 aspect ratio.
This extra screen space helps you to manage multiple windows at the same time with ease. Also, ultrawide monitors are usually bigger than regular displays (29”, 34” and 38”) so you’ll see more data on the screen.
The other difference is the screen itself. While regular monitors have a flat screen, most of the ultrawides feature curved screen. This along with the bezel-less display provides an immersive experience so movies and gaming sessions become even more enjoyable.
2. Is ultra-wide monitor good for gaming?
Well, considering the advantages, YES. Ultrawide monitors are better than standard monitors for gaming. Many ultrawides come with features that enhance the gaming experience.
Ultrawide displays equipped with Nvidia’s G-Sync or AMD’s FreeSync technology prevents screen tearing and stuttering to ensure smooth, lag free gameplay.
Some G-Sync ultrawide displays also support a blazing fast refresh rate of 120/144/160 or 200Hz. Once you go higher than 60 Hz and experience the smoothness, you won’t go back to a regular monitor, trust me.
Also, most ultrawide monitors have low GTG response time and input lag so you won’t notice any delay between pressing the buttons and see the action happening onscreen.
