Remember when people used to feel special for having a 1680x1050/16:10 monitor?

What happened?
>>
>>55811674
16:10 is god tier it's just not widely available
>>
Recently acquired one for use with laptop, such a massive subjective upgrade.
>>
>>55811674
I'm using a 1680x1050 monitor right now, definitely sticking with 16:10 when I upgrade.
>>
I have a 1920x1200 monitor and it's ok. I prefer the 1080p monitor since it feels more natural
>>
16:9 was more popular for TV and laptop panels because MUH MOVIES from MUH NORMIES, so it was a simply matter of cost reduction.

16:10 went extinct because it's too expensive to bother producing separate panels for the workplace when comparably sized 16:9 panels do the job nearly as well.
>>
Under 1200 vertical pixels always felt somewhat cramped to me. 1440p on the other hand feels like a generous amount of vertical space, and the 16:9 ratio just gives it a little more space in the sides compared to 16:10.

I wish 16:10 laptops were still generally available. My 15" 16:9 just doesn't feel right for work compared to my old 15" 16:10. Don't have the funds for a 3:2 Surface Pro or expensive 16:10 Mac or whatever
>>

>not adjusting DPI with higher resolutions
What's the point in buying a fancy monitor if you're just going to use it to view a few lines more of shitty text at a time? I hope you enjoy your eye strain and/or back problems from leaning in constantly.
>>
>>55812051

I beg to differ. Obviously adjust it on a high res laptop, but at 27" you better buy glasses if you can't use 1440p without scaling.
I scale/zoom the browser though, no reason not to for 1024 pixel width websites.

What's the point of buying a high resolution monitor if you're just gonna make it function like a lower-resolution one?
>>
>>55811674
Jewness happened. 16:9 panels are much cheaper so most companies try to push the plebeian aspect ratio even though it's suboptimal for anything but vidya and movies.

Though at least there are options with desktops, in laptop sector Apple and Microsoft are literally the only options now if you don't want to get cucked.
>>
>>55811994
I honestly wish 4:3 laptops or 5:4 ones were available. The square shape is really nice, I love how my T60P handles.
>>
>>55817406

>>
>>55814311

16:9 is terrible on a laptop
>>
>>55811994
>16:9 ratio just gives it a little more space in the sides compared to 16:10.
No it does not.

1440p 16:9 have 2560 pixels in width, 16:10 have the same but 1600 vertically instead so 16:10 have more pixels than 16:9.
>>
Remember when people used to care about picture and motion quality?

Remember when aspect ratio numbers were not doubled for no reason at all?

Had a 1680x1050 monitor back in the day before realizing that it was an unusual resolution or aspect ratio.
Learned that I could fullscreen 16:9 movies without having to actually fullscreen the video player.

When I upgraded my monitor I went with two 1920x1200's.
16:10 is god tier for portrait screens since it's still just wide enough that webpages load as intended, and just a little extra space to work with on Word / Excel.
>>
>>55817406
4:3 laptops are by far the best, the aspect ratio makes them more portable than this stupid ass muh thin fad. 4:3 laptop and 16:9 is like the difference between carrying a textbook and a 2x4

Watching 16:9 content without having to full screen, better for documents and productive activities, more natural aspect ratio for sight.
>>
>>55818351
How does it make them more portable? Besides, isn't the keyboard + trackpad idea for a 16:9/16:10 aspect ratio but not so ideal for 4:3?

Take the new Macbook and look at the base, there is nothing else left to cut to end up with a smaller base, and following the base, there is also no way to make the screen 4:3

No. 4:3 laptops were literally perfection. Pix extremely related, it's the best laptop ever made.

I ... don't see it anon. Books are pretty fucking 16:9.

As for pic related: Way too much space wasted on the palm-rests and between trackpad and palmrest. Cut that unnecessary space and you're back to 16:10.

Oh well, suck a dick. It's still true.

That space is there for the superior screen. I cut out the part where I said they should make the trackpad larger and turn it into a clickpad.

The squarer the laptop is the bigger it is if width is the same.

With the same horizontal resolution, the less square ratio is worse than the square one.

A 1920*1440 monitor is better than 1920*1080 for that reason.
The squarer the ratio the better it is, it takes more space.
>>
If I can slap the same TV panel in a monitor housing why would I bother adding cost by cutting bigger panels?

Its the same shit that happened with 1366x768. I can keep the same vertical pixel count that 1024x768 panels use and just add more horizontal pixels to make some half-assed widescreen for all the consumers to lap up.

The way these panels are binned, its less chance for defects per panel = better yields. This is also why small screens in phones/tablets have insane pixel densities and why the vast majority of large displays (24in+) have terrible pixel densities.

I'm selling Eizo CG303W for 400€ and NEC PA301 for 500€.
Been hating them from the very beginning, too large and no way to look at the screen without seeing glow (the PA301 has little backlight bleed on the left center. It appears after the panel matrix has heated up).

So what about two documents?

Side by side? That's the same width.
Vertically? Well 16:10 have lower vertical resolution so it loses there.

It's more aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. All content looks cramped to me on a 16:9 monitor whereas on a 16:10, it looks natural.

Would be 2560*1600 on a 16:10 screen, allowing you to display more.

Something that's worth that wide ratio faggots:

Calling something that is <4000 4K

4K at 16:9 is 4096*2304
4K at 16:10 is 4096*2560

Retards that call 1440p 2K It's even worse because it's closer to 3K than 2K.

2K is a very old resolution I used back in 2001-2003 on my 19' CRT

2K at 4:3 is 2048*1536

It's because 1440p is enough vertical res whereas 1080 was a bit too restraining. The benefits of 16:10 aren't as pronounced anymore.

If you go 1200 like anon said, then either ASUS VS24AH-P ($223) or a U2415 ($320) if you want higher quality / better color / thinner bezels (for multi-monitors).
Else if you go 1080 get a ASUS VC239H ($137) or Dell U2414H ($222).

Movies and TV shows are usually 720p, or 1080p at best.
4k is so rare at the moment that it probably won't be common for another 5 years in the movie industry, and even longer for 4k streaming TV / movies to catch on.

1080 lets you fullscreen a movie, and is the exact aspect ratio most things are filmed in.
1200 lets you fullscreen a movie without having to fullscreen the app due to the extra size, assuming your video player doesn't have some shitty UI that eats up screen space.

It's not wide enough to comfortably run 2 programs side by side, so what's the point then? you're just giving up vertical space

This reasoning never made sense to me.

You can use similar reasoning to justify getting 16:9. The more rectangular the laptop is the bigger it is if height is the same.


So instead of 1680x1050, get a 1080p. Instead of 1920x1200 get a 16:9 1440p monitor, etc.
>>
>>55811674

>>55822848
Vertical space is far more valuable than horizontal. Widescreen's only good for watching TV and movies made in the last decade.
>>
>>55822858
16:10 has barely any more vertical space than 16:9.
If you were talking about 4:3 or 3:2 I would see where you are coming from, but 16:9 and 16:10 aren't that far apart.

>So instead of 1680x1050, get a 1080p. Instead of 1920x1200 get a 16:9 1440p monitor, etc.

You don't compare 1680 against 1920, you compare 1920 with 1920.

1920 16:9 vs 1920 16:10.
2560 16:9 vs 2560 16:10.

1050p is in a resolution tier of it's own.

1200p and 1080p are the same tier.
>>
>>55822900
The difference between 16:10 and 16:9 is the difference between usable and unusable.

>>55822904
Quit referring to resolutions as *p, it just makes you look retarded. Call them by what they are. 1024x768 or XGA for example.

That's just as arbitrary. If there's a 16:9 monitor that is bigger than any available 16:10 monitors, it's nonsensical to tout the extra screen real estate for the 16:10 monitor vs. a 16:9 monitor that isn't the biggest. That works the other way too though, e.g. if a 16:10 monitor is bigger than any available 16:9 monitors.

>>55822890
You're right, and that's a better way to frame/word it than what I typically see.

>>55822943
There's a reason I use "p" because it's shorter and you know that damn fucking well so stop acting retarded.

The topic is mainly 16:10, but in a thread about aspect ratios do you really think we're going to limit the discussion to just the one in OP? Throughout the thread people have discussed 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 16:10, 16:9, and 21:9. It won't kill you to do it the proper way, I can guarantee it wouldn't even take more than a second.

PPI doesn't matter if it's a shit resolution.
PPI matters when you can scale it without sacrificing good enough work space.
That's why UHD is good for PPI scaling since most poor fags thinks 1920*1080 and 1920*1200 is enough.

It's 1920x1080 progressive scan. We're not talking about that. We're talking about the resolution 1920x1080. Besides, 1440p's not a standard thing and he used that too.
>>
>>55823188
>For easier comparison to 16:9

Yep, same reason 21:9 is called that when it isn't even the actual ratio of the monitor
>>
>>55818415
Like what?
>>
>>55811674
>1050 lines of resolution
>not even 1080-tier

No one ever felt special for having a 1680x1050 monitor. It's not even good for watching TV, let alone anything productive.
>>
>>55823237
Well we're not talking about 1080i (1280*1080) here are we?
Let your ass suck some more on your thumb because your face is busy taking care of the downs you have.

>>55823237
1440p is a standard, it's called QHD and it's 2560*1440, not 2K as retards may think.
>>
>>55823240
Basically anything but watching moves

>>55823266
>Well we're not talking about 1080i (1280*1080) here are we?
No, we're talking about 1920x1080. So you could use 1920x1080, FullHD, or FHD.
>1440p is a standard, it's called QHD and it's 2560*1440, not 2K as retards may think.
Yes, QHD is a standard, and it is 2560x1440, but there's no such thing as 1440p. *p isn't just a term you slap onto any resolution's vertical height, you fucking dumbass.
>>
>tfw people still think 16:9, 1.85:1 and 2.1/2.3:10 are better than objectively superior 4:3/1.35:1 for movies and 16:10 for gaming-browsing hybrid
If only...
>>
>>55823287
>Basically anything but watching moves
Why?
>>
>>55823287
Cry out your ass.

>1440p is the shortened name for a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution at a 16:9 aspect ratio. It is sometimes referred to as Quad HD because it offers four times the resolution of a 1,280 x 720 HD display.
>>
>>55823302
Because how many websites do you scroll horizontally when browsing? How many text documents do you scroll horizontally to read? It's vertical space that matters everywhere except movies, more space = less scrolling.

>>55823323
no u
>1440p is the shortened name for a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution at a 16:9 aspect ratio.
No, that'd be QHD. *p is only acceptable in two cases: 720p and 1080p.
>>
>>55822336
he's one of those fucks that thinks human vision sees 190 degree wide but only 15 degrees tall probably because of his fucking Neanderthal brow.
>>
>>55823370
>more space = less scrolling
Is that it?
>>
>>55823370
Bitch on, keep feeding.

Do you call 3840*2160 something retarded like 4K as well?
All PC monitors use progressive scan, thus there's 800*600p even if you hate it, that's the reality you have to deal with.
>>
>>55823406
Basically. There's a few other benefits like more room for toolbars and stuff, but lines of text is mainly. What else did you think there was to it?

>>55823420
>Do you call 3840*2160 something retarded like 4K as well?
Of course not, I call it what it's supposed to be called. So if I'm not actually typing out the resolution 3840x2160, I call it 4K UHD, because that's what it is.
>All PC monitors use progressive scan
Well sure, but as far as *p labels go there's only 4320p, 2160p, 1080p, 720p, 576p, 480p, 360p, and 240p.
>>
>>55819721
2k is simply 4:3 and is only 2048*1536, it was for photography first I think.
>>
>>55823484
>4K UHD
>4K
woooow.

>Well sure, but as far as *p labels go there's only 4320p, 3200p, 2304p, 2160p, 1440p, 1200p 1080p, 1050p, 800p, 768p 720p, 576p, 480p, 360p, and 240p.
You forgot 1440p in that list, but don't worry, you probably didn't know all of them.

QHD (Quad HD), WQHD (Wide Quad HD),[2] or 1440p,[3] is a display resolution of 2560x1440 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

In autumn 2006, Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) announced a 47 inch 1440p LCD panel to be released in Q2 2007;[4] the panel was planned to finally debut at FPD International 2008 in a form of autostereoscopic 3D display.[5] As of the end of 2013, monitors with this resolution are becoming more common. A list of monitors with QHD resolution is available.

>>55823594
Already covered 2K, I've been using it since 2002 on my 19' CRT.
>>
All this shit is the reason "4k ready" is the term used in marketing. I'm working in advertising and the amount of misuse these terms get when we're dealing with video editors and everything going back and forth is immense.

>2k means QHD
>say fullHD and people are confused
>someone starts a 4k project in the software and takes years to import UHD content.
>>
>>55823606
>woooow.
What? You asked me what 3840x2160 was, and that'd be 4K UHD. 4K is 4096x2304
>You forgot 1440p in that list, but don't worry, you probably didn't know all of them.
I didn't forget it, I left it out because it shouldn't be included.
>>
>>55823710
>I didn't forget it, I left it out because it shouldn't be included.
Your opinion maybe.
>>
>>55823733
Facts aren't opinions, dingleberry.
>>
>>55823777
Indeed, your opinions aren't facts.
>>
>>55823803
I never said otherwise. Thing is, 1440p isn't a thing. That's a fact.
>>
I have a 16:10 (1920x1200) as my main monitor and a 5:4 (1280x1024) as a second one.
The 16:10 monitor can swivel, so maybe I get a 4k monitor one day and I can use the 16:10 monitor vertically for documents and code then.
>>
still have a 1920*1200 8:5 monitor
>>
>>55811714
>widely available
Kek
>>
>>55811674
8*5? Do you mean 16*10 or are you retarded
>>
>>55811959
I doubt that's it because lots of devices have non standard aspect ratio screens, it can't be that hard to produce them.
>>
>>55812051
I have no trouble reading content on my 27" 1440p monitor.
>>
>>55811674

I still have my Acer X223W 1680x1050. But I retired it for a 144hz 1080p display. I don't have enough desk space for another monitor.
>>
>>55814307
Objectively more space to work with

Normies don't use computers for work though, they use them for netflix. Normies are surprisingly autistic about black bars.
>>
I want 4:3 on my Linux box and 16:9 for my Windows box. Unfortunately my only choice for 4:3 is an old Dell Ultrasharp, 20".
>>
>>55811959
Which is such bullshit because I literally never watch movies or shows on my computer any more. I've got a 55" TV with a bangin sound system for that and if I for some reason can't be arsed to crawl out of bed into the living room to watch shit I have a tablet on my nightstand. Don't fucking rob me of my work-friendly 16:10 display because 'black barz lel'.

>>55811994
Agreed, 2560x1440 is the baseline for 16:9 not feeling cramped and frustrating. 1920x1080 is borderline passable/somewhat usable, and any flavor of 16:9 below 1080 is absolute garbage.
>>
>>55818654
A little too much wristrest is better than wideness that tempts manufacturers to cram in a stupid fucking numpad that throws the trackpad off center. Seriously, fuck non-centered home rows and trackpads on laptops.

In 2010 I bought a 1920x1200 monitor

In 2015 I downgraded to a 1080p monitor.
