32:9 isn't really well supported yet.

[Removed by Support]

32:9 was supported perfectly well in PoE from 2013 until 2022 when GGG broke it for no logical or defensible reason.

You pretty much have to use irrational/horrible logic like this to defend the inclusion of black bars.

Except it was completely logical. It was further than the server actively loaded npcs.

This was explained later as a quote from the community team:

"

Previously it was possible to manually set the aspect ratio of the Path of Exile client to be very short and wide, allowing you to see an unintended amount of the level at once. A limit needed to be set. Because of server serialisation distances, this maximum aspect ratio is currently set to 21:9. This is the widest that we can currently go before we start hitting the cutoff where entities and effects vanish. We are looking at being able to increase this in the future.

It is hard to google why is was done i mean i had to type 2 whole words to find the post again

People scare me.

32:9 is hardly a gaming monitor giving the low range of games that actually support it. Even 21:9 isn't even fully supported in all modern games these days.
You can use it sure but you should also be fully aware of the downside of hitting games without support for various reasons. But people just complain right away as soon as their bad choice won't give them the proper expected outcome.
After all it's more of a work space monitor even these days and less of a proper gaming monitor even with the "gaming" marketing tag on it.

You can put a gaming label on anything. Go get them gaming sockz while you‘re at it hoho

Black bars are not a logical solution to this problem. Several rational alternatives have been presented in this thread.

Some of y'all need a logic class.

The result of making wrong choices by picking the wrong gaming monitor hoho

I attended a logic class, what I learned is that the logical solution is using normal gaming gear like everyone else. You‘re just asking for special treatment at this point
