Widescreen / buying notes

Widescreen: before you order

A screen diagonal does not tell you the width of an ultrawide monitor. Compare the ratio, physical dimensions and stand footprint.

Keep pixel resolution separate from screen dimensions. The calculator estimates visible image width and height from the diagonal and aspect ratio; the frame and stand need their own allowance.

Check the resolution and refresh rate supported by your computer and connection together. For USB-C, read the specified video, charging and hub functions rather than assuming the socket provides all three.

Keep these details together

• Resolution and ratio
• Desk width
• Connection requirements
