Well, according to that site mine would be like this.

http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x10-vs-34-inch-21x9

Should maybe mentioned the Dell is 16x10 not 16x9's, since I see it makes a little bit difference.

In your question regarding the 4 monitors, there is Multi Stream Transport Hub that you could use, since say a 980 or a Fury can support 3 DP's you would only need a 1 for 2 Hub.. I got a 1 to 4 DP hub I bought some time ago, worked fine driving the 29'' and 3 Dell's from a 290... as long you not playing games with all 4 running.. lol .. I guessing a Fury or a 980Ti might be enough to drive 4 x 29'', if what you doing is not to taxing on the cards, like gaming.

we used two OEM AMD HD8490 because thats what we had laying around. the 29" screens are 2560x1080 so you dont need display port for them - we used 2x dvi and 2x hdmi. works fine :)

Oh god....shut up!.....you making want to install 4 X 29" monitor pron :p:eek::D

In my studio I'm using a passive AMD 6450 and 2x 24" one hdmi and one dvi with a hdmi adaptor...

I could just get another 6450 and run 2 more ?

Most people who are on 4K have never tried UW...they're nervousness about them etc...

Fact is most don't have the gfx power to run 4K so they run UW res instead...sort of missing the point...

UW pixel pinch is perfect and gaming really is something else...:D

Luckily I'm not most people ;D
Much prefer my Acer XR34 to my Samsung U28D, no desktop scaling issues to deal with, higher frames, sexier aspect ratio. Overall I think ultrawide is a better direction to move than 4k (until we get 2160p ultrawides :D )

What are peoples thoughts on the AOC U3477Pqu ? I keep looking at it vs a 28" 4k panel. I don't play first person shooters, I play EVE, COH2 and a lot of starcraft 2. My eyes keep drifting towards the superwide.......

Anyone got one? I take it everyone in this thread prefers ultrawide to 4k? :-)

I play EVE and I just got a second one of those. Nuff said :cool:
 
I just stumbled into this. A new baby's born?

I'm reading the review on toms and..... a SVA panel? Looks like derived from the samsung's but.... is it the same panel or a new one? :confused:

Probably low binned examples of the same panel Samsung uses in their own monitors. Hence why it's turned up on a bizarrely designed 'budget' HP and nothing else.
 
Updated OP:

MPC HC with madvr has now solved the issue with films that are shot in both imax and 21.9!

With this, you no longer need to zoom in manually or worry about zooming in and back out etc. again.

Why zoom in during the IMAX scenes though? Surely losing the top and bottom "IMAXED" areas is a negative in these scenes? I just enjoy the scene anyhow without having to do anything.

Toss up between losing the top and bottom of the frame and breaking the immersion due to having black bars either side I guess. I don't watch blurays on my 21:9 so I can't comment; not sure which I'd prefer.
 
No, it doesn't zoom in for imax scenes...

What that does is for films like the dark knight where you have both imax scenes and 21.9 scenes.

Madvr will detect the black bars and adjust automatically so for imax scenes, it zooms out thus you have only black bars on the side therefore you lose nothing but when 21.9 scenes come on, it will then zoom in automatically so as to get rid of the black bars on top, bottom and the sides then when imax comes back, it zooms out again, rinse and repeat.
 
Ah yes I see what you mean, I didn't watch DKR on the 21:9 monitor, but the fil itself during 21:9 segments is 16:9 (including letterboxes top and bottom) to account for the IMAX scenes. Makes sense.
 
How do you get into those madvr settings? I'm using the latest mpc + madvr available and the only madvr settings I see is a dll inside the main folder. No way to set madvr settings from mpc as far as I can see :confused:
