Will we ever see better aspect ratios like 3:2 getting adopted by the market instead of peddling 16:9 forever and ever?
>>
I sure hope so
>>
No. Markets grow horizontally, not vertically.
>>
all of this is driven by normies, so instead maybe we'll see portrait monitors showing up because it makes it easier for them to consume their tiktoks and youtube shorts
>>
>>108888762
Normies are already buying laptops with 3:2 screens, so there's high chance that BenQ's 3:2 monitors will start shifting the market towards them.
>>
>>108888790
which laptops have 3:2 screens?
>>
>>108888798
macbooks and MS Surface laptops apparently, I think acer used to make them too but it's more likely the ones I remember were actually 16:10

ironically for more vertical space you want an ultrawide

Usecase for less screen? I own the 32 inch 16:9 version of the 28 inch 2:3 in the op post which is the same vertical height but wider.
>>
Oh man, sometimes I feel like I am the only 3:2 lover and 16:9 hater.
16:9 never made any sense for a computer, it's so terrible for any kind of work, terrible for webbrowsing, terrible for graphic works, terrible for music software... it just sucks!

>>108888861
>macbooks
For some weird stupid reason only entry level Macbooks do, Macbook Pros have 16:9, because... because.
>>
>>108888921
>less screen
You are comparing 32 inch vs 28 inch.
3:2 is not less screen, it's more useful height and less useless width.

>>108888877
I still don't understand why curved ultrawide is so popular, you can only view them properly from one slot
I have a flat ultrawide and I can use it at my desk as well as watch something from my bed.
>>
>>108888661
Just get a 32 inch monitor, center a window and maximize it vertically, but not horizontally.. Problem solved.
>>
>>108889868
retard

noob question but how do you know if you picked the right or wrong monitor? what's the first signs?
>>
>>108888661
16:10 for the win
>>
>>108888661
>better aspect ratios like 3:2 getting adopted by the market
Best I can do is 21:9
>>
>>108890614
might just be the worst ratio I ever used desu
>>
>>108888877
Okay but now draw that same vertical line on a 16:9 TV...

Why can't we just use 1:1 and embrace the added verticality?

Given the same "inches", more squarey = bigger. What people call "wide" is actually a SHORT screen.

Eizo makes 1:1 monitors, but they're pricey.
>>
>>108890664
I prefer 43:18 (3440x1440)
>>
>>108888951
>You are comparing 32 inch vs 28 inch.
right, because larger than 28 inch 3:2 screens don't exist and larger than 28 inch 16:9 screens do exist.
>>
>>108891911
Saying eizo is pricey is like saying water is wet. You get what you pay for. I am still using an eizo LCD display made in 2002. Most other screens I've had barely last 10 years without crippling issues.
>>
>>108893707
>crippling issues
Such as?
>>
>>108893758
Such as the monitor randomly turning off and then turning on again while I'm playing a video game. Makes it unusable.
>>
>>108888661
No, the market will adopt ultra-wide monitors instead.
>>
>>108888888
>>
As a drawfag I like it when screens are wide because it lets me stuff the UI on the sides of the screen while still leaving nice canvas space
If all the horizontal space was switched for vertical space I'd have to put the UI on the top and bottom and that would be strange and weird. Also there are no square pen tablets.
>>
>>108895989
Most of my works are in portrait so a more vertical monitor fits my workflow much better than awfully short 16:9 garbage.
>>
>>108893769
that sounds more like a gpu issue no?
>>
>>108888940
>Macbook Pros have 16:9, because... because
I have mbp m4 and it’s 16:10 under notch and like 16:10.5 or something silly like that if you include the notch
>>
>>108897197
No, because it happens on literally every single GPU the monitor is connected to. Unless I exclusively own broken GPUs that work perfectly with only Eizo monitors.
>>
>>108891891
No, what you call "big" is actually a THIN screen.
>>
>>108888661
the human eye cannot see more than 1366x768. what more do you need?
>>
>>108888661
GIMME 1:1 YOU FUCKING CRETINS
>>
>>108888940
>Macbook Pros have 16:9, because... because.
The Macbook Pro is almost 3:2
1728 / 1117 = ~1.54
or 1.6 if you exclude the notch

I don't know why Apple picked those exact dimensions but I suspect they targeted the physical form factor of the laptop first, then fit the screen to it, and that's how we got the weird aspect ratios.
>>
