  • Actually i have and love my 21:9, but it was a weird journey.

    The most common resolution for them is 3440x1440 21:9

    At work i use a 2560x1600 16:10

    You may see my problem, i was not going to give up those 160 vertical pixels. So i got a 3840x1600 instead…

    Which comes down to the same 21:9…

    I think the reason its not a problem is cause how rarely your only using a single fullscreen window on such ultrawides.

    Majestic for gaming ind… and the gpu caught fire again.

    16:9 was pushed on us because it was cheaper to produce on mass for tv and pc. 16:9 was better for movies.

    There are some monitors from just before this massive market manipulation and those have 16:10, sometimes with display port before hdmi was even mainstream.

    Apple is actually one of the few companies to make the jump from 4:3 to 16:10 avoiding the 16:9 with very few exceptions.

    To this day i see people work with old software designed for the area of more vertical screens but doing so on screens designed for movies.

    Most people dont even understand what i mean when i explain this. But the good thing is my issue with it was considered a disability so they had to accommodate me with something more sensible.

    Sorry long comments but this is a personal vice for me.
