Grown-ups tend to prefer 1:1 > 5:4 > 4:3 > 16:10 in that order

16:9 for center monitor.
2x 4:3 on each side.

>>58062636

>>58062356
16:10

4:3 and/or 16:10 are my preferred choices

>>58062636
Are there any current 3:2 monitors that are not glossy?

>>58062356
16:10, I find 16:9 way too cramped

>>58062644
dubs confirm.

3:2 = 1:1 > 4:3 > 16:10 >>>>>> dogshit >>>>>>>>>> 16:9 > rest

My opinion:
5:4 & 21:9 > 16:10 > 16:9 > everything else

For a desktop monitor it doesn't matter so much, because you'll have multiple windows open. You just have to decide whether or not ultra wide benefits your work flow

For a tablet, 4:3 is required

For a laptop, 16:10, 3:2, or 4:3 are required

beauty.

what's the model?

Personally,

Eizo EV2730Q

1920x1920 IPS

>>58062970
Glossy garbage

>>58062983
It's one downside. But it being so expensive and now discontinued, it's not going to ever be used outdoors. Indoors, that screen is the greatest thing on a laptop ever.

>>58062973
moist

the ideal set up would be to drop the lowest edge as close to the desk's surface as possible, is the stand detachable?

16:10 for most things
4:3 for old content
21:9 for movies and specific games

I have a 16:10 monitor and a 21:9 one. The only reason I use the 21:9 as my main monitor instead of secondary is because of its resolution and image quality in comparison (21:9 IPS at 2560x1080 vs 16:10 TN 1680x1050). If I bought a new one though I would really look for a decent 16:10 monitor and use the 21:9 as secondary. Or just sell it and get two decent monitors because 21:9 ain't all that amazing anyways.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

have you no fucking respect for your back and neck? Center it on eye-height. in b4 your head is on the level of your desk and you type by reaching upwards

>>58063767
your eyes should be on the level of your upper edge of the screen

>>58062356
5:4 or 16.10

>>58063802
Yes, so I'm looking down constantly; brilliant. My neck already hurts just imagining it

>>58063945
just use your eyeballs?

>>58064120
Which are designed to look forward in their neutral position rather than down?

>>58064188
Your eyes are designed to move you fucking faggot not be stationary 24/7

You aren't looking at your dick you're looking just slightly below your horizontal line of sight. the way you are when walking.

>>58064673
>Your eyes are designed to move you fucking faggot not be stationary 24/7
Yes, which is why all parts of your screen should be equally accessible

looking far down is more straining than centering your range of motion

one 10:16 one 16:10
most productive and flexible setup

1x1>3x2>16x10
anything wider is a horrible disgrace.

>>58064771
>it's the setup I use, therefore it's the best setup
>I have fuck all research and evidence to back up this wild claim, but I don't need to because it's my setup therefore it's clearly superior anyway

Are you mentally impaired?
You're not looking "far down".
You're looking as low as you would when reading a book laying in front of you on the table

Professional: 1:1 > 5:4 > 4:3 > 8:5

Gaymer, Netflix normie and third world: 16:9

Colossal faggot and muh racing sim setup: curved 21:9

3:2 > 16:10 > 16:9 > 1:1 > 4:3

3:2 renders 4:3 obsolete and 16:10 renders 16:9 obsolete

>>58062871
Why have 4:3 over 3:2 on tablets? If anything 3:2 would be better on tablets over laptops since 3:2 is closer to the A4 ratio and you get smaller black bars when watching 16:9 content

any 3:2 monitors? I'm hoping there will be some b grades of the Surface Studio's panel.

>>58062356
8:5

>>58065623
>You're looking as low as you would when reading a book laying in front of you on the table
which is uncomfortable as fuck

>>58065825
>Boo hoo hoo muh black bars. Fuck of Danny P

>>58065996
Good argument, downie. 4:3 is only better if you're a weeaboo who watches 4:3 content, 3:2 is the exact same thing but slightly wider.

>>58062430
>1:1
>doesn't post a 1:1 photo
y?
The real end game ratio is 3:2 though

>>58065825
4:3 is better for portrait
3:2 is too wide for landscape

>>58062356
16:9 is the only good aspect ratio
