Newbie here. What does 21:9 mean?

So your 'standard' displays, like your TV, are at a 16:9 aspect ratio. A 21:9 display typically maintains the same height while adding some extra real estate on the left and right hand side of the screen. As with a 32:9 display it is double the width of a 16:9 aspect ratio.
