    I have an Ultrawide monitor and love it! I would be cautious about going "too wide" though. For instance, I find the width of my 34" at about the limit of wants to turn my head, or move my mouse that far. Also highly recommend 3440x1440. 1080p is a touch low for such a vertical size.

    I have to agree with you ... never think of these things when you see the "cool toys" , but I have noticed issues of not noticing things on the opposite side of my 28" monitor @ 2560x1440 (like when I get a notification from discord on the right etc or someone whispers in chat on the left.)

    So .. good point!​

    NO! Just...NO! <Weeps in the corner>

    I have a triple-monitor setup (7680 x 1440). I use the left and right monitors for UI windows (chat, skills, friends, emotes, multiple inventory bags (bag w/in bag), etc. I rarely use it to "see" the game. It keeps my middle monitor uncluttered.

    I've got the LG 34" curved 3440x1440 and absolutely love it. SotA runs and looks so great in that resolution and aspect ratio. I think you are right, any wider and you might have trouble moving your mouse all the way across the screen.

    I use the Philips 40 inch BDM4065 4k uhd 3840x2160 monitor.
    Sota runs pretty slick in fullscreen.
    Although that curved Samsung might be nice for fps titles.

    Nice back-lighting!

    @Berek Does that have G-Sync?

    Hey, Love that beast of a curved monitor. Just switched my setup a few days ago and decided to stay with 3 x 1920 x 1080 because of versatility (Dell S2715H, before HP2510i ... love the glossy look).

    Hey, I know that town! What a lovely viewing angle you have at New Britannian Market! It would be nice to have a dedicated place where I could do a widescreen+second monitor that was not our livingroom television already :p

    Did it come with the red backlight or did you add something?
