never needed one with chrome, not for youtube anyway. as long as it was uploaded in 21:9 it works fine.
Yeah but you can't tell which have been uploaded in 21:9 ratio, I must have tried 20 different videos last night and they were all centered.

Some gaming footage from the upcoming Samsung 34" 1440 VA 100HZ freesync monitor:

you dont have an ultrawide phone??
Thats got black bars top and bottom on my phone, yet all other videos fill the screen
That curve is just too much. No, no, it's just too much. Can't even look at that, it hurts.
Came here to post the same thing. I'm on the brink of going UW... if OCUK can get a good price here it could be one I jump for, if it turns out to be any good.... *awaits reviews*
I wonder if the $ crashes after the election if we'll start getting cheaper prices.. hmm (ha)
That goes full screen but looks naff @ 1080
bummer :/
A lot of the youtube videos are still 16.9, the only ones which aren't, are film trailers and 21.9 gaming footage. I wouldn't base too much on youtube footage (especially 1080P) anyway, the quality is usually naff due to the compression etc.
Yeah it looks pretty bad in the video but I imagine in real life when sitting in front of one and just watching a film or playing a game and not going looking for a curve, it won't be as bad but still... would rather have as little curve as possible.
No, rip off UK will always be rip off UK 
If it turns out to have little to no issues, great response time with low input lag and a decent freesync range and not priced any more than £1k (extremely unlikely, no doubt Samsung and etailers are going to milk people good)... I could be tempted, however, any more than £1k.... then not a chance, especially with this years LG 55" 4k HDR OLED TV now dropping to £2k!
Heck even £1k for a top end IPS/VA monitor is a rip off in my eyes now.
