So I just bought a 32” 144hz, 2k monitor but I’m considering returning it for an ultra wide equivalent. What stopped me from initially going ultra wide was two factors. I was concerned about the FPS drop due to the extra pixels added to the sides of the monitor and how ultra wide works for games that don’t support it. the second reason is my biggest concern.
for next gen games like call of duty or cyberpunk 2077 it sounds awesome however what happens if I play an old classic like resident evil 3 for PC. Will the monitor automatically change the aspect ratio and display the game in 4:3 or will it stretch it across the entire monitor. What it boils down to is that sometimes I don’t want ultra wide but I’m sure most of the time, especially newer games I would want it.
Are most games now formatted for this aspect ratio or is it still something that won’t become standard for awhile? I’ve heard stories of some games getting messed up if you display it in ultra wide and some games like over watch don’t allow it because they believe it gives some players an advantage.
