1080p on AOC CU34G2/BK
Hello, i m looking to buy AOC CU34G2/BK monitor, does anyone have it? If yes, how does it look to play 1080p on it ?
Originally posted by Julien, cut it out.:
According to AOC's website, the native resolution is 3440x1440. It's a super ultrawide monitor i.e. an aspect ratio of 21:9.
1080p is a resolution of 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels, i.e. it's an aspect ratio of 16:9.

You have two options to play games at a resolution of 1080p, in a 1920x1080 window or fullscreen.
The fullscreen scaling behaviour depends on the game: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Scaling

My recommendation:
If you want to play games at an aspect ratio of 16:9, play the game pillarboxed at a resolution of 2560:1440.

Most immersive solution:
If you want to use the entire monitor for gaming, community created modifictaions exist for many games that don't support natively a wider aspect ratio than 16:9. The games can be modded to support wider aspect ratios than 16:9.

pcgamingwiki.com is imo the best source.
