Working with Ableton on a 21:9 gaming monitor (is it worth?)

Sorry for the non-production related question and somehow silly.

Does Ableton work fine on a large ratio, 21:9 or even 32:9 wide gaming monitor?
It would have a lot of space for clips on arrangement view and tracks on session view, being pretty convenient.

I'm not into gaming so I haven't experienced such devices yet.

Does anybody have feedback on using them with Ableton?

The most space the better IMHO, ableton live interface also can be scaled to get to a confortable reading size for you.

Generally bigger is better, but you have to consider how much physical space you have and where your speakers will go. Some people prefer 2 or more monitors rather than one big one - you can have arrangement view and session view open at the same time on 2 screens.

You don't need a gaming monitor though (those are designed for super fast response), but they will work fine. Just choose the size and resolution you want - is down to personal preference really. For me - I like to have vertical space and not just horizontal, so ultra-wide is not for me
