When I play Dota 2 on my 34", I have it run at windowed mode 4:3 or 16:9 because 21:9 felt weird.
Console no issue but dont think suitable ? Console mostly design for large TV. I once borrowed friend's PS4 to play HZD but a bit weird on 34"
For me ultrawide work best with FPS, racing and multi-browsing  rclxms.gif  My 2 cents.

Have u tried dota 2 on 21:9 after 7.00 update? I heard it fixed the f4 items

Console gaming with Full Screen, images will be Stretch. Console doesn't support 21:9 ration.

Not sure about Dota but I'm playing CS with black bars.
Playing CS with 16:9 ratio with black bar. No problem for me. Don't really look as the side black bar to get headshot. LOL

To get ultrawide and play console on it as well, you just had to set your mind that it will be in 16:9 and you'll live lol, dont stretch it, will look a lot more uglier than having those 2 black bars as youngy said
I also play with lights on so I guess it wouldnt be an issue for me as well.

Ok since it woulndt work perfectly on console and my types of gAmes i guess i skip ultrawide monitor sad.gif

Cant get used to 21:9 or even 16:9 ( old man playing DOTA from 5.84c to 6.12b @ 4:3 ) now only play Dota2 when mood strike  biggrin.gif

If want double as console better skip, get a large 27" FHD monitor better, or go 4K for future proof  whistling.gif

Just bought a wide monitor with built in speaker
But i cant get the speaker to work properly hmm
When i test speaker using sound setting in windows
It works but not on spotify
I tried to play games,the speaker would work if i use the speaker settings in the games menu
But spotify did work when i plug in my headset via usb

Also i thought all hdmi cable is the same but this monitor only works with the hdmi cable that in the box..other hdmi cable wont work..hurmm
