I'm looking to buy a new monitor and keep seeing the term "ultra-wide" used to describe some models. How can I tell if a particular monitor is considered ultra-wide? Is there a specific aspect ratio or screen width I should look for? Any guidance would be appreciated!

An ultra-wide monitor typically has an aspect ratio of 21:9, as opposed to the more common 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. This means the screen is significantly wider relative to its height compared to a standard widescreen monitor. Ultra-wide monitors often have a screen width of 34 inches or more. When looking at specs, keep an eye out for resolutions like 2560x1080, 3440x1440, or 3840x1600 which are common for 21:9 ultra-wide displays.

Most monitors in product description will tell you whether it is ultra-wide.
