Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
I have two Dell U2412M monitors and I'm gonna use them until they loving die.

a 40" 3840x2160 monitor(lol) has a higher ppi* than a 27" 2560x1440, a 30" 2560x1600, a 24" 1920x1200,
and a 22" 1920x1080. clearly it's the best choice op

At some point I spent $600 dollars on these monitors and they suit my goddamned needs. when one of them dies I'll look into your hidpi demonry.

but if i ~consume content~ on a 16:10 monitor there will be black bars!!!!!

There is no such thing as a black bar, there is only the absence of content, when the aspect ratios of content and display do not match.

shaggar was right. 16:10 can do two full document pages side-by-side. it is the correct productivity monitor. its dumb that they sell monitors in 16x9 because thats what hd movies come in, because for most people computers are for doing work and tvs are for watching movies.
hilariously my bl3201ph, which i bought for productivity and which is advertised as a CAD monitor, is 16:9
