Even though most of the technology industry are pushing for 4K monitors, there's a smaller subset of people who think 4K isn't the way forward, on a monitor at least. I'm one of those people, and instead of using a 4K monitor like so many are doing or trying to do, I've gone down a different route. I'm using an ultrawide monitor, a rather new concept for PC monitors that are rocking an aspect ratio of 21:9 rather than the standard 16:9.
Movie buffs are likely to already know what that means, but for those who don't, allow me to briefly explain. The aspect ratio is basically the "shape" of your monitor. A 16:9 monitor is your standard widescreen monitor, the usual kind of monitor that you're likely using. A 16:9 monitor is usually rocking resolutions like 1366x768 or 1920x1080, but can go all the way up to 4K resolutions and beyond.
An ultrawide monitor is similar to a 16:9 monitor, except it's a lot wider, hence the 21:9 aspect ratio. This allows for much more content on the screen at one time, and usually more content compared to a 4K monitor at 16:9 as the real-estate gained on a 21:9 monitor is pretty advantageous.
I was torn between a 4K monitor or an ultrawide for a long time, and I eventually made my choice with a 34" Samsung Ultrawide monitor. I was curious to see how the Windows 10 experience would change (or not change) when using an ultrawide monitor, and whether it would cater to the extra real-estate received when using an ultrawide monitor.
