    Holy Ratio!

    I have just bought an LG Ultrawide Monitor.
    2560 x 1080, Ratio 21:9.

    Well.....World of Warcraft looks excellent, but slighty pissed in that the Login screen, Character Selection and in games map have massive black borders either side.

    I understand from a MVP on EU forums, its just too bad, but anyone got one and see the same, if so, is their any fancy workaround?

    I am probably being picky but it just takes the gloss off a awesome monitor if I am stuck with the borders of dooooom!

    can´t avoid that with such a non standard ratio.
    why did you actually get a 2560x1080 and not 2560x1440p?

    I was lured in with the shiney ultrawide-ness. Video`s posted on the net of other games looked excellent but i failed at checking WoW supported that resolution. DOH!

    I guess if enough people buy the ultrawide, blizz might support it in the future?

    WoW supports the resolution... But three screens you see for 2 seconds occasionally is hardly something to fuss over.

    On another note, I anticipate that monitor manufacturers will start making curved high resolution 21:9 screens after noticing the popularity of multi-screen setups. Just some software which would create three virtual monitors in desktop use for window management... *drools*

    Looz, surround and eyefinity setups already virtualize monitors. They take three monitors and create a single virtual monitor that Windows sees. There would be no need to virtualize a single monitor if your hardware actually is a single monitor at that resolution.

    Ultrawide is a niche, it's not going to get mainsteam and blizz won't support it.
    It's awesome for movies but not so much games, for gaming more vertical headroom is really nice like a 16:10

    WoW does support them like Chazus said and 16:10 or 16:9 is just a personal preference really.
