Hiya!
Wondering how people’s experiences are regarding the use of ultrawide monitors on Linux these days. What kind of setup do you rock?
Am thinking about getting an oled monitor as my next monitor and current setup is two 32inch monitors where one of them is vertical. But been keeping a keen eye on ultrawides for a while but not sure its for me and how well it’s supported with Linux. I’ve read KDE supports it well, but what about when gaming? Also what’s the current state of oled and hdr support?
Also, please add your monitor brand+models, would love to see what peeps are rocking. Personally been looking at the Alienware AW3423DWF.
Edit: I’m looking at screens that are oled and 2k resolution.
Let me know your experiences, tips or recommendations!
What resolution do you play at? Ultrawide for gaming is really niche, I don’t recommend it.
Right now I play at 2560x1440.

Thanks for sharing
Why don’t you recommend it? I’ve run into very few games that don’t support a 21:9 aspect ratio, and the extra screen space is very immersive.
If gaming is your priority isn’t a good idea to have a niche display format, most of the games will just looks bad/unoptimized.
I’ve been gaming on one since 2021, and on modern games the only issues I’ve had are a few games with pillarboxing and pre-rendered cutscenes showing in 16:9 instead. For me the benefits of having a wider monitor far outweigh the few things I’ve noticed.
