Ultrawides are massive monitors that will dominate your desk and may even require a re-think of your existing office or gaming setup. Distinct from a standard widescreen display, which offers a 16:9 aspect ratio, ultrawides go longer on the horizontal and slightly shorter on the vertical, for an aspect ratio of 21:9, or 32:9 for super-ultrawide.
Consequently, ultrawide monitors increase your field of view. This makes them more immersive for games and movies, although the format also offers benefits for productivity work.
Finally, ultrawide monitors can be relatively pricey, with even midrange ultrawides starting around $500. Yet there's good reason to make an ultrawide your next monitor.

On the much, much worse side, generative AI-created fake nude images of her have recently flooded the internet.
As you would expect, condemnation of the creation and distribution of those images followed swiftly, including from generative AI (genAI) companies and, notably, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. In addition to denouncing what happened, Nadella shared his thoughts on a solution: "I go back to what I think's our responsibility, which is all of the guardrails that we need to place around the technology so that there's more safe content that's being produced."
