Anyone know the dimensions of the screen for a 34" 21:9 screen?That would be a nice high school math trigonometry question: given a diagonal length of 34" and a slope of 3/7, calculate the width and height of the rectangle.
x=2.21455938697318 so hxw=46.5"x19.9". Seems like it should be taller.

I'm guessing this is using the same panel as LG's similarly spec'ed model? If that's anything to go by, it won't be cheap.Actually, if the stated specs are true this monitor may actually be cheaper than the LG curved monitor the 34UC95 and more in line with the 34UM95 which is not curved. Perhaps even less than that.
The LG is a bit of a different beast though because it has allot more ports on the back including 2x thunderbolt 2 ports and also has a built in KVM switch. If you use multiple systems like a MBP and a PC workstation then the LG is the way to go.
I am not real sure about how this curved screen stuff is going to work though. Might be more immersive for gaming and the expense of being a great productivity monitor.

I actually had something like that as a question in an exam years ago.

Ugh make it 21:10 with a 3440 x 1600 would be so much better. But meh to this anyway as I'm going 4K soon with the Asus 32 inch display.lol why? The point of this display is to make it ultra-wide. Making it 21:10 would make it a bit less wide.
Between 21:10 and 21:9, we are talking about trading only 0.55" (1.8%) less wide for 1.2" (9%) more usable vertical space.
Those extra 160 lines may not sound like much but for productivity stuff, they can be quite handy.

Someone want to check my math on this? I get H~13.375" and W~31.25"You probably rounded too much on H somewhere: I get 13.393".
I wish there were more x:10 displays too... but those days appear to be gone for good.
Dell released a 16:10 monitor as well....UltraSharp U2415

I had to use the Pythagorean theorem the other day at work. We had a portable projector screen and no height. I can't take out a $500 screen to check that, so I simply used the diagonal measurement, the length of the box (same size as the screen) and that math. Hoorah! That is literally the first time I've had to use orthodox "advanced" (atypical) mathematics since I left high school 4 years ago....

21:9 is a ratio, not a slope. There probably are 20+ different ways to express a slope. A ratio of change along one axis vs change on another axis is one of those many ways - no different than feet per 100 feet or meters per 100 meters you might see on road signs instead of incline angle in degrees.
Ratios are just a fancy way to express a fraction (21:9 is the same as 21/9 or 7/3 or 2.333...) and fractions are just yet another way to express how quantity Y varies with X, which is just another way to express a slope.
It does not matter what you name it. Mathematically, they are the exact same thing.

The bezels don't look extra thin.I know, there are 50” TV with smaller bezels and they don’t really even need it as much. I really want an extra thin bezel but they just don't do it on PC monitors for some reason. People are way more likely to put two PC monitors side by side than TVs but TVs have smaller bezels but more weight and reinforcement issues than PC displays. I just don’t get why we don’t have much smaller bezels on our PC displays.
Curves displays are lame. It's cool that it can be done and all but adds nothing. The isometric perspective is already in the images now you’re just adding distortion. It such a gimmick.

In this case, their definition of "bezels" is the distance between the edge of the display glass and the casing. By extending the display glass to go close to the edge of the casing, they can say "we have ultra-thin bezels!" Of course, OUR definition of "bezel" is the distance between the edge of the display area and the edge of its casing, in which case little progress has been made over the years. Fact, you're better off buying a standard non-thin-bezel display and debezeling it yourself as these will have a minimal amount of glass.

There is no marketing ploy there. LCDs have always been marketed based on the visible LCD diagonal. It has been the industry standard for LCDs since the very beginning. My 24" LG LCD is exactly 24" across the visible diagonal. My 21.5" Dell display is exactly 21.5" across its visible diagonal. Same goes for my 15.6" laptop and 7" Nexus 7.
CRTs on the other hand have always been marketed based on the tube's diagonal including the overscan area. The reason why the bezel on CRTs hides 0.5-1" of the tube's edge is because beam scanning near the edges becomes extremely non-linear due to electrostatic force from proximity to the tube wall. To avoid that problematic area, CRT manufacturers simply use a 19" tube to produce a 17" usable display. Same goes for 27" TVs using a 29" tube.

Dear Niels Broekhuijsen,
"Considering the aspect ratio of the monitor, let’s not blame Dell for not having the stand support rotating the monitor to a portrait orientation."
You go ahead and accept less than what the monitor and stand should be.
1). G-Sync, a must
2). No backlight bleeding, a must
3). Portrait mod, a must, (or arm friendly)
4). No black-less IPS nor TNT, please!

1) I would much prefer the open-standard FreeSync over proprietary license-laden G-Sync.
2 and 4) backlight bleed and "no true black" are intrinsic parts of how TFTs of any type work. No polarizing filter is ever going to be perfect, same goes for the liquid crystals, the filters, diffusers, light sources, light guides, etc. The only way to get true black is emissive displays and OLEDs are being awfully slow to get on the market at decent prices
3) I doubt many people will have a use for a 34" display in portrait mode on their desk... even 27" is getting kind of big for that
