ultrawide
Beyond standard width
Ultrawide describes screens, monitors, or aspect ratios significantly wider than the standard 16:9 format—typically 21:9 or wider.
Gaming and cinematic displays favor ultrawide formats for immersive peripheral vision: I upgraded to an ultrawide monitor for work.
The term also applies to camera lenses with exceptionally wide fields of view.
