Dell Readies the U2913WM 29-inch Monitor
After updating the S Series last week, Dell is now working on bringing new blood into its UltraSharp line. That new blood is the U2913WM, a 29-inch models equipped with a (likely IPS) panel with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels. Seen below, the upcoming monitor also features four USB ports and D-Sub, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.
No word yet on pricing. As for availability, Dell's just saying that it's 'coming soon'.

But make a 2560x1200 and I'm in.
What I really want is my 4:3 (or 5:4) back. :(
16:6.75
21.333:9
2.370370370:1
I think the "official" name is 21:9
I can see how it makes sense for somebody who only wanted to watch movies on it and how it might make for an easy entry level to widescreen gaming, but this resolution doesn't appeal to me at all.
Golden ratio is 1:Φ = 1.6180339887..., which is thought to be ideal for many things, also in viewing aspect ratio. the closest to this ratio is 16:10, which i prefer.
16:10 = 1.60:1
16:9 = 1.77:1, better, only for movies, than 16:10, for every other thing 16:10 is the way to go.
I think I'll stick with my 30"
Just goes to show that if it isn't 1080 then it might hurt sales because it's not 'High Definition', even it the number was higher.
What's the point, as soon as you start a program that has toolbars on top (Solidworks, Photoshop, 3Ds, or anything similar) you are left with a very small working space.
I'm not getting why these companies keep going wider...when everyone wants taller?

I don't get it... this monitor is way too wide for anything but watching movies on. I'll pass.
As for 21:9 at 2560 x 1080 this is something I would like to see first hand. I’m not going to prejudge it. My dislike of 4:3 and 16:10 is at least based on extensive use with both.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
