Thread 718235965

who decided 16:9 and 21:9 should be the standard for gaming? why not superior 16:10 or 21:10?

>>718235965 (OP)
the same people who decided that the best advancement in monitor tech was a product with a 2-5 year lifespan.

Human eye can perceive only 4:3 anyway

>>718235965 (OP)
Everyone knows 4:3 is the best anyway.

>>718236034
Unironically correct.

>>718235965 (OP)
I wish we never left 4:3 and crts behind.

>>718235965 (OP)
dick, at most.

>>718236591
I can't give up muh flatscreens though.

>>718235965 (OP)
16:10 was a thing in the mid 00s, but it lost.

>>718236729
>From 2005 to 2008, 16:10 overtook 4:3 as the highest-selling aspect ratio for LCD monitors. At the time, 16:10 made up 90% of the notebook market, and was the most commonly used aspect ratio for laptops.

>The primary reason for this move was considered to be production efficiency:[3][7] Since display panels for TVs use the 16:9 aspect ratio, it became more efficient for display manufacturers to produce computer display panels in the same aspect ratio.

>>718235965 (OP)
Do you think we'll get another standard shift like 4:3 to 16:9? and what aspect ratio would you say should 16:9 be replaced with?

>>718236860
why do you want something in between widescreen and ultra wide screen?

>>718236860
>4:5
>2:1
???

>>718236018
I've been using the same monitor for almost 10 years. Stop being a retard with your technology.

>>718236918
>oda non enjoyer.
Based. Maybe 18:9 with it slowly getting traction among smartphones.

>>718237368
It's a compromise solution for 70mm film, bit like how 16:9 was used as compromise.

>>718237767
? I don't own an OLED, why are you so upset?

After moving to 16:10, It feels so squished going back to 16:9. I have no idea how people could go from 4:3 to 16:9 back in the day and see it as an upgrade

>>718236860
>18:9
So 2:1? Retard.

>>718239698
Didn't it also coincide with another bump in resolution? from like 640x480 to 1280x720.

>>718241024
>So 2:1?
Yeah no shit numbnuts. Congrats on being able to do pre-school math.
It's commonly called 18:9 as an obvious comparison to 16:9.
Dont try to act smart when you don't know shit.

The same people that decided to kill PC gaming and replace it with jerking off to console ports with slightly higher framerates: Steam users

>>718235965 (OP)
yeah I prefer 16:10 too but it was more convenient for manufacturers I guess
we also went from 1920x1080 straight to 2560x1440 instead of something less demanding like 2400x1350
do they even sell 25" or 26" monitors at higher resolutions?

>>718242305
>all this assmald to still be wrong
NTA, don't @ me.

>>718239698
if there were high refresh rate 16:10 displays I'd try it.

>>718242445
27 is the most common for 1440, you can find lots of 4k at 27 and 32 but they're too small for that resolution.
