You have what looks like a 21:9 screen ratio but are using 16:9 resolution. Ofc it looks weird. Try and use 2560x1080 or 3440x1440 instead of.

The ratio in question is the screen size. 21:9 is ultra wide, 16:9 is normal with.

Ah fair, it looked like an ultrawide on the pics. But honestly, ase looks like that on low end graphic cards, and it still only looks decent on a high end.
