21:9 can be nice with games that will properly support it, and cinematic content, but for legacy support you're probably best-off with pillar-boxing. Some 21:9 monitors can also do side-by-side view of separate inputs (at lower, and less wide, resolution), as well as some sort of pillar-boxed legacy mode for applications that only work with 16:9 or 4:3 (although with 4:3, it would be fairly inefficient).

I can't remember if it's AOC or LG that offers that feature - but yes it's out there.

What about Tesla (Geforce 200 series) cards?

"Tesla" also encompasses the G80/G90 (I've heard it applied to the GeForce 200 series in some sources, but others simply calling those GT2xx/GT200 and separate them from G80/90). I have a GeForce 8600-based Quadro that has fine analog output (even tried it with a nice Trinitron CRT and it works great), and I've built and worked-on other machines with G80, G92, etc cards that all have fine analog outputs. I've never actually owned/used/etc a GT2xx card though, so I couldn't say about those. Keep in mind that some GeForce 200 parts are G9x based (like the GTS 250) as well (and I'd assume that like their 8800/9800 brethren, the GTS 250 have fine analog output).
