This is incredibly important for day to day use. A lot of ultrawides will have a horizontal resolution of 3440. If you want to split that into 2 or 3 columns you will be left with windows sized at 1720 and 1146.67 respectively. Those are weird resolutions. No one is specifically designing programs or websites for a horizontal resolution of 1146.67. However a resolution of 3840 splits nice and cleanly into 1920 and 1280. Those are the standard horizontal resolution for 1080p and 720p. Almost all programs and websites will be designed to work well at those specific horizontal resolutions. Therefore using an ultrawide with a horizontal resolution of 3840 is just going to feel more natural.
- TacticalCoder 7y agoYes exactly: back when I bought that screen it just came out (I think) and was quite a price jump compared to a similar but "only" 34" LG doing 3440x1600 (same pixel size, just a bit less pixels). So I thought the way you just explained and decided to shell out the extra bucks to get a 3840x1600.
