Here's how your favorite websites and programs look on Samsung's new super-ultrawide monitor

Samsung's new CHG90 monitor is so wide it's almost ridiculous.

And for many of your everyday computing activities, it's not exactly ideal.

Standard monitors these days typically have a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the relative proportion of their width to their height. Ultrawide monitors have a 21:9 aspect ratio.

The CHG90 is the first monitor with a 32:9 aspect ratio, which gives it a long and narrow design. The Korean electronics giant designed the 49-inch display, which retails for $1300, for gaming.

But since most of us use our computers for more than just playing games, we decided to see what other applications might look like on it. We displayed nearly three dozen websites and programs in full-screen mode to see how their appearances might be affected by the CHG90's elongated display. Perhaps not surprisingly, we discovered that few sites, services, or apps have been designed to support such a wide screen.

In many cases, sites and services only displayed text or images in the center of the display, leaving lots of blank space on its left and right sides. In other cases, sites or programs showed text or images primarily on the left side of the screen. Such results made the CHG90 look essentially like three screens mashed together into one gargantuan display.

But there were a handful of sites and services that did take advantage of much or all of the screen's full width. It was impressive to see in such cases just how much information can be displayed on the CHG90.
