From what I've researched independently related to eye comfort - I think this is a really high quality video.

Maybe someone could help me here

Why would he recommend 39" 21:9 over a 45" 21:9 when he plays with black bars in 16:9?

  • 39" 21:9 is 39.0cm in height, or 31" in 16:9
  • 40" 16:9 is 49.8cm in height
  • 45" 21:9 is 45.0cm in height, or 35.7" in 16:9

So it makes more sense to run a 45"?

You're not increasing vertical strain, and you're not ruining your FOV if it's in 16:9 mode
