Why aren't people buying 5:4s to use as auxiliary monitors? I get not needing them if you already have an ultrawide or something, but nothing makes me cringe more than people using 16:9s just for email/Discord.
>>
>>101218064
Nobody is selling 5:4 monitors.
>>
>>101218064
Know of any 5:4 capable of doing QHD (or whatever it's called for that ratio)?
>>
>>101218082
Damn, you're right. I assumed they were still available because I got a brand-new ThinkVision 5:4 during the pandemic, but they're all gone now. Sad.
>>101218093
Unfortunately no, they mostly top out at 1280x1024. Though I don't see why you'd need such a high resolution panel considering most are 17-19 inches.

uhhh monitors don't play audio dipshit

5:4 is dead we 3:2 now
>>
>>101218064
You can buy a 4k oled, then change the resolution to 1920 x 2160 and move the picture to either side of the screen. That will give you an 8:9 screen ratio

>uhhh monitors don't play audio dipshit
My Alesis do and they were cheep, like the budgie
>>
people act like we have way more choice than we actually have

yes lets just all buy the 2-5 5:4 monitors they sell worldwide
>>
>>101218425
Or just buy a larger 16:9 screen and decrese the font size slightly to have save vertical space as 3:2 with an additional horizontal space.
>>
don't care still using portrait mode
>>
>>101218082
Dell was selling them on their website a month or two ago.
>>101218093
iirc, highest rez on any square-ish monitor is 1600x1200
>>
>>101218522
16:9 is still gay no matter what cope scaling methods you use
>>
What is even the point of 16:9? 4:3 was fine. movie fags ruined everything
>>
>>101218666
How is it gay when you have same amount of vertical space as a 3:2 but with additonal horizontal space?
>>
vertical monitor master race
>>
>>101218813
you don’t need that additional horizontal space
>>
>>101218522
top retard
>>
>>101219164
Why not?
>>
With a 19:9 you can have two documentation pages open at the same time in the second screen
With a 5:4 if you've got two side by side usually docs have sidebars and there's not enough space on the screen

>>101218986
Meh, I'd rather be able to split the screen down the middle
