Couldn't get OOTP to behave at first on hdmi so upgraded to DisplayPort
To be clear. Did you need to go to display port for both monitors or, only the second larger one?

It is nice to have the extra territory on the screen too for widgets when playing out games. So yes, the game will render at 21:9 correctly. Your image will not get stretched, you simply get a wider field of view of the game. I think you will enjoy a 21:9 monitor for OOTP games.

Garlon and Cod,

Are you guys on hdmi or display port?

Haven't decided yet, just looking around but, if I go for it I want to make sure I have a DP cable on hand if that is what is needed.

Thanks.
