21:9
Wider than widescreen
21:9 is an aspect ratio describing the relationship between width and height of a display or image—21 units wide for every 9 units tall.
This ultrawide format appears in cinema screens and computer monitors marketed to gamers and professionals who benefit from extended horizontal vision: My new 21:9 monitor is great for spreadsheets and immersive gaming.
Sometimes expressed as 21×9.
