The Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide Gaming Setup

the best part of 86" wide monitor is i wont notice the "activate windows" nearly as often

WSGF IS NOT DEAD, we moved to discord and reddit due to google flaging fixes as malware.

I adopted 21:9 pretty early on, and I had to use a program called flawless widescreen for most of my games. But then all of a sudden 21:9 became extremely popular and now it's just a standard.

I work in this industry. Have used that exact display. Fun fact we used it in a daisy chained format of 3wide by 8 high with glass shelves in between. Looked pretty cool!

To the team at Linus Tech Tips: WSGF is not dead, they moved to Discord/Reddit since Google flagged fixes as malware! You can still find and request countless fixes, especially on the Discord. Being in the WSGF community is a must have as ultrawide user.

the irony of a signage display most likely destined to show ads having an OS specifically devoid of ads is not lost on me

What looked like a bit of weird tech fun turned into one of my favourite ever videos from LTT. As a triple monitor user I can relate to all of this lol. Fascinating to find out why many game dont 'just work' at 11520x2160.

From far enough away that res is just fine, I think it would work great as a dynamic marquee somewhere. Also wonderful example of how to turn a video about something that seems really silly into useful content.

Finally, a monitor that supports the spreadsheets from work.

LG Ultrastretch displays are a result of 98" full-frame 3840x2160 panels having manufacturing defects so they slice off the good parts of the defective panels to make either this 86" at 3840x600 or an 88" at 3840x1080. I've worked with these for digital signage and this was confirmed by LG sales and tech people. edit: Hijacking my own comment to add that there is a "Multi Screen" mode they did not test, which supports up to 4 separate inputs, so the best use case for it in the rec center could be as a 4-way, side-by-side-by-side-by-side gaming setup, LMG check your email for the code to the secret menu

Even though it is incredibly wide, it still cant fit a picture of your mom.

I choked drinking water when he said "A number." at 5:03 lmao

Finally a monitor that can fit all my tabs of 8K Tentacle Poetry

Put it in portrait mode.

04:05 Me too, TV, me too...

4:46 If you're curious about how many inches that monitor would be if it wasn't "all long" here's the math: Assuming it is 85 inches long, as it's listed under the "Mechanical" specifications of the monitor We have the base being "x" so, x = 85 inches (215.9 cm) The angle would be 90° as it is a right triangle, we'll call the angle "z" And side y, which is the presumed height if it was a 16:9 ratio So y = (9/16) * 85 = 47.8125 inches (121.44375 cm) Given all of this data, we can now calculate the triangle's hypotenuse ("h"), which is the inches the monitor would be if it was 16:9, as follows: h = √(y² + x² - 2 * x * y * cos(z)) h = √(47.8125² + 85² - 2 * 47.8125 * 85 * cos(90°)) h = √(2286.035156 + 7225 - 2 * 47.8125 * 85 * cos(90°)) h = √(2286.035156 + 7225 - 2 * 47.8125 * 85 * 0) h = √(2286.035156 + 7225) h = √(9511.035156) h = 97.52453617 inches (247.7123218718 cm) So, assuming the monitor had the same base length, but a 16:9 aspect ratio, the inches corner-to-corner would be 97.52453617 inches

Imagine owning that monitor with a linus wallpaper, dang every-time im gonna turn on my pc, the first thing that i would see is linus face.

Finally enough screen to read Java class names

CS2 has an option to change where the UI elements display. For example, if you are running nvsurround, you can use the option to make the UI elements display on the centre screen.

I could see it being pretty fun to have it above my setup and just display live information about the system. basically have graphs and slider all over the place like in old movies.
