16:9 is acceptable as 1440p, imo.

4k blows on everything other than osx.

6 years since the iphone 4 and no one else has figured out good dpi scaling yet.

1080p is perfectly fine... for a phone. on a monitor this is garbage resolution.

lol if your eyeballs are subjected to visible pixels. always be hidpi

windows 10 does it fine.

osx is the most seamless implementation tho.

1.85:1 is p dece. 2.35:1 is the best.

1.66:1 is garbage dogshit.

1.77:1 (aka 16:9) is like legislation written by centrist, neoliberal democrats: doesn't really fit anyone's needs, comes from a "compromise is the ultimate goal" mindset, but is better than nothing, so v:shobon:v

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.

I like that 4K exists, because it makes screens with lower, perfectly acceptable resolutions cheaper.

the chinese invented 16:9 so a 24" monitor is actually less pixels than a same size 16:10 monitor, and now they're pushing 21:9 for the same reason. pretty soon we're going to get a 24" 9001:9 and you're going to get nothing inside the box
