I would have thought that most video players would handle that on full screen, even if OS/video card settings/monitor doesn't?
Also, remember a 34" ultra wide is only as physically tall as as a 27" HD shaped screen. So most video, shown with black bars at sides will be only as big as it would be on a 27". Although not sure if the screen in your photo is HD shape.

the 34" ultrawide. does it have a mode for smaller resolutions where it just adds black bars to the sides? like if i wanted to plug my xbox in as well.
I just measured and my desk/bureau is 36" wide and the new monitor arm I installed would centre the screen perfectly but let me adjust it down into my eye line or push it back up and out of the way when not in use and seems like the best use of the limited space.
but I also watch a lot of tv/films on it with headphones on so my gf can watch her crappy reality tv on the main telly so would need to be ok for that as well.
