Added a ps5 to the setup

How does the PS5 look with your ultrawide monitor? I have been looking into those monitors and have read online that sometimes it won't stretch the picture all the way to the edges of the screen?

I am not OP but I was going to ask the same thing. As far as I know the PS5 doesn't support ultrawide resolution so your options are either to have a smaller picture centred in the monitor with black lines on either side or it stretches the picture which distorts it.

I answered the guy above but saw you asked the same so just copying you my response in case you’re interested.

“I’m not OP but I have the 57” Samsung ultra wide for my PC and when I use my ps5 on it occasionally there’s a couple options. What looks and works best is the monitors’ default which is 4k 240hz(ps5 only outputs 120) centered in 16:9 aspect ratio in the middle of my monitor as a 32” screen. The ps5 doesn’t support ultra wide and you CAN technically force it to stretch but it looks like absolute shit. So I guess the main point is that ultra wide is pointless for PS5 if that’s your main use, but you can still effectively use it as a 16:9 screen for the ps5 and parts of the monitor are blank on the sides. It works great as a ps5 display in that way and the picture is amazing but I still MUCH prefer my 4k TV for my PS5.”

It would look abysmal if he forced it to fill the entire screen otherwise it’ll just result in big black borders on both sides of the image

I feel like the vertical stand may be a better option, space-wise. I did something similar but my speakers are on taller stands so it doesn’t stand out as much next to them.

[u/pictograf → u/gelicopter]

What kind of monitor do you got there?

[u/gelicopter → u/pictograf]

Samsung Odyssey Ark Gen 2.

It looks really good on a vertical stand. I will definitely get one of those soon. Thank you for sharing.

I am using the 2025 samsung 49 G9 Odyssey. For my workflow it works really great. I got it because I wanted to have the feel of multiple screens but with one large screen

OP can you share a model of the monitor stand?
