Playing games on Samsung's massive new computer monitor and other ultra-wide monitors gives you an advantage
I've been playing PC games on Acer's X34 ultra-wide monitor for a few months, and I can safely say that compared to standard monitors, wider monitors offer a distinct advantage.
Ultra-wide monitors like Acer's X34 have a 21:9 aspect ratio, whereas standard monitors have a 16:9 aspect ratio. That 21:9 aspect ratio translates to a wider field-of-view than a standard monitor, which means I can spot enemies that I normally wouldn't see with a standard monitor.

The benefits of a wider field-of-view was one of Samsung's main selling points for its latest "super ultra-wide" CHG90 monitor, which has an insane 32:9 aspect ratio and is wider than standard 16:9 monitors, and even the 21:9 X34 ultrawide monitor. From Samsung's demo and my own experience with ultrawide monitors, those benefits ring true.
