Is there any streaming service which specialises in this content?

I'm not talking about those dodgy "free" sites, I have a netflix and amazon prime subscription but find a real lack of ultrawide 21:9 content :(

As I have a shiny and bloody expensive!!! LG 34UC98-W, I want to get more out of it
 
As you know many movies are filmed in 21:9 or close to it, 2.39:1 etc...

Trouble is, as you've found, on streaming services they are almost all encoded at 16:9, so you need to get an app to correct it and away you go. There's loads, look on places like the Chrome extensions store etc.

All downloaded and disc content should work fine.

Note that viewing the content full screen on these monitors significantly reduces the quality, as you're effectually only viewing a 800 pixel high image stretched...

NOPE > Netflix/Amazon

If you keep your subscription to the latter two then your conscience will be clear ;)
