AOC 21:9 29" Q2963PM - My thoughts after a few weeks of usage.

AOC 21:9 29" Q2963PM - My thoughts after a few weeks of usage.

So have I've gotten use to the screen yet, and what are my thoughts.

Well first off, let me start out by saying, I absolutely love the aspect ratio now.
In the start my eyes had a hard time adjusting from the 16:9 to 21:9, but now it just feels natural.
Thou I've noticed that my length from the screen to my eyes is not far enough, because when I look at a regular 23" 16:9 from the same distance, I do not have to move my eyes(that much) to look from the right to the left side of the screen, I have to do that now.

But that might be my only complaint about this product, I've really gotten use to it, and absolutely recommends this to everyone who wants to try out something new.

So how is the gaming experience ?

First off, I've had to upgrade my system to a 2nd 660ti, just to keep my games fluent. But the field of view might give you a bit motion sickness for some people, but I love the wide angle.
When I play Arma II / DayZ, the game is not optimized for 21:9, but only 16:9, that makes the game stretched out, thou I'm able to run it in 2560x1080. What I did here was:
1- I went in the game and changed resolution to 1920x1080
2- I used the monitor to change the resolution to 1920x1080

And that gave me a perfect 16:9 screen in the middle, thou with black borders around the edge.

But the best part about the screen is that it saves THAT specific resolution to that game, so when you log out, it will be back in 21:9, and @ 2560x1080. It saves that setting for that specific game.

THAT'S fricking awesome!
