DELL U3415W Ultra Wide Screen Results

Just to let you guys know that I recently purchased this Dell ultra widescreen monitor

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-U3415W-34-Inch-IPS-Monitor/dp/B00R420VAG

I'm running STO at 3440 x 1440 resolution and it looks incredible. I asked this question a while back and Taco thought it would but couldn't be sure, but the screen is completely filled in both window maximised and fullscreen with the latter having the option of the correct resolution.

One very interesting thing to note, my FPS has increased! I was previously running the output to a full HD TV 40 inch, around Sol when crowded my GTX660 card was struggling to hit 19 fps, now it's at 29, empty system space is over 60fps and typical patrols are running around 45fps. (all settings are maxed. CPU is Quad Core Q6600 and 8 Gb Ram, pretty old really, the GPU is the newest item, around 2 years old).

I highly recommend this monitor for STO, response time of 8ms is good enough and I see no tearing. The colours and clarity are breathtaking, I can finally appreciate the artwork in this and other games.

As an aside I also play ESO which looks staggeringly beautiful now.
