Sometimes you just have to let go. Right now is one of those times for me. I've been holding onto a few items that have either been replaced or upgraded from and I finally took the initiative to list them out for sale. I consider myself lucky because traditionally I've been able to sell/swap things with people in my friends group but that's not always going to be an option so off to Ebay I go! Check out the new listings I just put up if you're interested at all. These listings will be live for 7 days unless someone scoops it up with the Buy It Now Price.

Reddit Crosspost https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/77uckc/why_i_left_the_ultrawide_master_race_after_being/?ref=share&ref_source=link TL;DR I love UltraWide displays, I love 21:9 and I love the experience it brings for gaming and media consumption. However, having restrictions imposed by developers and the general need for "tweaking" games to work has slowly turned me away. I no longer want a UltraWide as my primary gaming display. I may never end up switching back because I can achieve the same physical (not in game) FOV covering experience with a larger 16:9 panel. With that being said, I am excited to see what the future has to offer for the 21:9 community and I will always be a follower of the UltraWide Master Race . My First Ultrawide Story Time!
