Since i upgraded to 21:9 not long ago it changed everything for me. Great gaming experience, enhanced i feel.
While I still think that 16:9 is the way to go for Gaming, especially if you are planning to play some older titles, 21:9 is perfect for work and general productivity.

21:9 is all I buy anymore for gaming. We've bought 4 of them in the past few years. Using a 16:9 now, (to me) feels like using a 4:3 did back in the day when we first adopted widescreen as a standard.
This MSI has a nice stand for a cheapie. I like the curve. I prefer curved now too.

It's nice for modern gaming, however, when it comes to older games and 21:9 support - that becomes a real hassle to make it work properly. I play older games mostly, and I find 16:9 screens just more versatile. Fewer issues with them.
However, 21:9 is future proof. No doubt about that.

It makes sense if your playing older games with no ultrawide support but yeah if you do play modern games then its just great.
