Hi,

I want to buy Phillips Ultra Wide 21:9 Monitor 2560:1080 27 inch, and im not sure if ill have Black borders on sides when running different games or movies, or basically anything meant for 16:9. Thanks

If you're watching a movie that is in 16:9, then you will have black bars, or else everything would have to be stretched horizontally. The same goes for games.
