Why don't you buy a square monitor? Are you poor?

>>57314608
Yes

Because a 40" 4k monitor is so comfy.

Why would i buy a square monitor for any reason other than web browsing? My monitor does video and web browseing well.

A human's field of view is rectangular. A square monitor is an inconvenience.

>>57314608
Yep. That display is pretty much my dream, but it's ridiculously expensive, even compared to other high end Eizo or NEC graphics monitors.

Eizo EV2730QFX

It's actually 1:1 though and not 4:3

26.5" 1920x1920

I'm pretty sure Eizo and NEC still offer some high end 4:3 displays, though.

Squares are rectangles.

>>57315518
A human's field of view is oblong. A square monitor is an inconvenience.

>>57315518
>being a pedant
if a square (4 equal sides) was really the superior, why are rectangular (2 sets of equal length sides) the preferred screen shape? what benefit is there? how do the jews or the illuminati or Big Screen benefit? take OP's monitor for example. it's over $1500. if it was the best aspect ratio, why wouldn't they just sell that, considering they can make a ton of money off them?

that setup is ugly as fuck

mid-peripheral of a suppressed peripheral

is still best approximated with a square, so it's your peripheral squared

do you know what peripheral means, it's fine to have a focused FOV but don't impose your personal perception of optimal vision as some quality standard that the world missed out on, it doesn't make sense

A square or even 4:3 monitor will give you more screen area for the same diagonal than a widescreen.

4:3 was chosen when TVs were invented because it is the closest rectangular ratio to human vision, 16:9 was introduced later because filmmakers wanted a wider canvas to work with

either way, your FOV isn't rectangular at all and you also have to factor in binocular vision

I have 16:9 (?) monitor on my primary laptop but I like to keep my windows square, especially web pages

my desktop has standard 4:3 and I think it makes sense and feels better for computing. Sure, big monitors are cool but make them tall as well as wide

it's not for watching movies I'm not a stupid tv nigger

Because I watch movies and TV shows on my computer so it's really better to have 16:9

>>57316057
>>57316154
Goddamn, this looks so productive. I literally hate 16:9, and 16:10 is barely better. I wish this were cheaper.
>>57318569
Yes, but If it were 16:9, the vertical space would only be 1152p.

>>57318925
Many, many films are not 16:9, so no.

144hz monitors are they really worth the upgrade? I'll be replacing a 16:10 75 Hz monitor

>>57319438
if you already have that then I'd say no and wait until 1440p 144hz becomes cheaper

you mean like 4:3, an established non-meme aspect ratio?

We have 4:3 monitors at class and I really, really fucking hate working with them. They're so impractical I wish I could bring mine from home.

16:9/16:10 is fine for this stuff at a high enough resolution. If you're really serious about your productivity, you'd get a 21:9 monitor.

If you really needed a monitor that isn't widescreen, get a 4:3 monitor, not this crap.

Are you an idiot? 4:3 was the standard because it's the best for work, it's the thing we can do the most with as humans.

You underestimate the appeal of a square monitor.
