Size: Most ultrawide screens measure between 34 and 38 inches diagonally. You can buy a smaller option, but below 34 inches the advantages aren’t noticeable enough to justify the higher price. If you need something smaller, you’re likely to be happier with the resolution and picture quality of a 27-inch 4K monitor or a 24-inch monitor. On the other end of the spectrum, 38-inch ultrawides require a lot of desk space and cost much more than 34-inch models. However, at the default rate of 8 ms, I did notice the ghosting effect when playing fast and responsive games.

Display technology and screen curvature: Ultrawide display panels come in two varieties: IPS (in-plane switching) and VA (vertical alignment). IPS is the better all-around choice, with more-consistent color reproduction and solid viewing angles. VA panels have better contrast ratios but suffer from significant color issues when viewed from an angle, which is problematic for a curved display. With few exceptions, 34-inch ultrawide monitors are curved slightly so that they bend inward toward you, making it easier for you to see the whole screen at once. The curve is measured by the radius; the smaller the radius value, the higher the monitor's curve. For example, a 4000R monitor is barely curved, and an 1800R model is more noticeably so. Most ultrawides are 1800R or 1900R. Removable stand and Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) 100 mm mounting holes for flexible mounting solutions.

The IPS panel itself is high quality, with excellent colour accuracy in the default mode: an average Delta E of 0.29 and a maximum of 0.95 are effectively perfect. In that mode, it covers 100% of the sRGB gamut with a 124% volume and 88% of the DCI-P3 space. Brightness consistency is even across the screen too, although it inevitably drops off (by around 10%) at the far edges.
