Looks beautiful! What is the resolution of the monitor? There are no specifications listed unfortunately.

Yeah it looks like a really nice display, the dual input feature is a good idea.
But again, misleading claims:
Its no better than a 1080p 16:9 display in this regard, it might be worse.
Blu Ray movies wont suddenly play back at higher res.
A 1080p 16:9 display will give you the same Blu Ray picture but will be able to do it pixel for pixel, it will have black borders above and below, but they are black, they dont matter.
There may be aliasing on the 21:9 due to stretching of some pixels and not others, to fit the extra pixels along the screens width.
It will be interesting to see how it handles this.

Should of gone to specsavers.
The spec sheet is at the bottom of the article
2560*1080

Lol, dam, I actually didn't see the spec sheet below. Nevertheless it's nice being 2560x1080.
And yeah, I might check out Specsavers. 😀

It may be actually pretty good for simracing.

I think you're wrong.
A bluray picture has borders because it's been horizontally constrained because of the display it has been playing on.
Ofc, if you were to play a 1920x1080 picture on it, it'll have to digitally zoom and pixelate it, but I'm not convinced blue ray is 1920x1080 - I always figured they were 21:9/2560x1080 that the lower resolution displays were scaling back 25% to fit the width because they lack the 21:9 display and were just doing the best the could with what they got.
btw, Dell are gonna be using this panel, according to tftcentral, so we'll see which drops the price info first.

It could be very nice for wide FOV / FPS gaming on single monitor.
Similar to having dual monitor setup but without bezels in the way.
Though I'd rather 27" 2560x1440.

Er no. The Blu-ray spec for full HD is 1080p.
EspHack
blu rays are 1080p yea but the original movie normally is 21:9 or something like that, i would like a 2560x1200 instead why not 21:10? is a desktop monitor after all not an HDTV, but i really like the looks haha thats reeeally wide dude (:
Denial
I'd rather see 4k 24" monitors with IPS/120Hz but yeah, the thin bezel is pretty nice looking.
Loobyluggs
With black borders for movies.
Mufflore
Yep, covered that in post #3.
Otherwise the blu ray film would need to be 16:9 or 16:10, not 21:9.
They are after promotional points, its a shame that their method can detract from the quality.
Chouji
Someone should photoshop it, and make it look wider.
Personally i think it's a bit ridiculous.
HeavyHemi
There is a bit of conflating of Bluray aspect ratio (1.77:1) and the aspect ratio of the source material. Common ratios used in theaters are 1.85:1 and 2.39:1.
Of course to avoid cropping the image they use letter boxing to utilize the full width of the screen.
Loobyluggs
I know some well known films were shot in 1.85:1, like saving private ryan, but really 2.4:1 or thereabouts, like matrix, lord of the rings trilogy, batman trilogy, is really the standard, and this scales to 21:9, because it's really 2.33:1.
I find it funny that as teevees were originally 4:3, movie studios got scared and decided to give something you couldn't get at home, and here we are all these years later and teevees still have issues with these ratios.
Mufflore
Except they dont have issues.
What issues are you on about?
