el formato [o la relación de aspecto] 21:9 (2.39:1)
Explanation:
The numbers are aspect ratios--the ratio between the screen width (first number) and screen height (second number)--regardless of overall screen size. So they stay constant no matter how big the screen or what units are used to measure it.

"La relación de aspecto, proporción de aspecto o razón de aspecto (traducciones literales de la expresión en inglés aspect ratio) de una imagen es la proporción entre su anchura y su altura. Se calcula dividiendo la anchura por la altura de la imagen visible en pantalla, y se expresa normalmente como «X:Y»."

"La película Gladiator, por ejemplo, fue emitida en formato 2.39:1."
