I bought an ultrawide monitor, and it has over the years, become my least favorite part of my setup. The games that I play usually do not even support ultrawide, movies don't support it, and Youtube videos do not support it.
Basically, I spent the extra amount of money on a monitor that shows black bars 90% of the time I am at my desk, and that has really soured my experience with ultrawides.
The next monitor I get will be a flat, 2 or 4k OLED monitor.
But when it works it's excellent, reminds me of going from 4:3 to 16:9. Playing 16:9 feels jarring, like I'm playing with blinders on. I'm not sure what you're playing but most of the games I play do support 21:9.
And YouTube actually supports 21:9, it's just that most content creators don't make videos in that format.
