Ultrawide - Keep or Sell

Venares · 20 Aug 2020 at 11:17

OK guys, simple question.
Do I keep my ultrawide (only a few months old) or sell and buy a normal 16:9.
Reason I ask is I am starting to stream a lot and working with a ultrawide is becoming a PITA because of the aspect ratio mismatch.

How is it a mismatch just out of interest as im getting one for pure gaming?

you want to stream in 16:9 so you play games at that aspect ratio and then you deal with black borders. 2 * 16:9 is better for this use case. maybe see if you can find a 4:3 or 16:9 that is as wide as the main screen is tall and use in portrait mode - that'll be a more useful setup that you can run chat from etc.

Or do it windowed?

that gets rid of the borders right. i dont stream, but might also cause problems with capture cards.
