Hm, you're quite right. I checked specs of both that Samsung's 49" 32:9 and regular 27" 16:9, and they're about the same in height. Well, only thing I can say is that I'm sure glad I was wrong -  while I don't mind "only" 2x24", 2x27" is even better.

Probably there's some genre's that it's not that useful, but any FPP/TPP game (which makes up for quite a bit of my gaming diet) benefits from it, at least from my POV (pun intended).

Fisheye becomes a big issue in allot of games... The best game I have found for such aspect ratios is actually... Civilization.
Forget anything that Blizzard makes, they tend to only beat the 16:9 drums.

Yeah, fisheye is annoying, and I guess there's no getting around some degree of it, but even with that, if you use extra space just for peripheral vision/situational awareness, I find twice as much horizontal coverage to be quite worthy in many genres.
