16:10 is not coming back into the mainstream 1080 monitors because 16:9 shares the same aspect ratio as HD tvs and is cheaper due to economy of scale. 16:10 has a chance with 4k standards but I doubt I'm going to get a 4k monitor even if I could afford it, its going to be too big.

QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jan 15 2014, 10:47 AM) 4K is now labelled as 3840x2160 (1080 x 2 = 2160) so it's still 16:9. Yes its more than likely that computer monitors will keep following hd tv standards at 4k/8k instead of 16:10 whxga.16:10 probably only available for professional IPS panel for the high-end, guess consumer who's looking for value monitor with 16:10 will just need to swallow their breath for now (holding for future possibility is not healthy  ).I was looking for 16:10 as well, but the price point still a deal breaker...  sigh~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_size A 16:9 22" (or 21.5") led monitor only has the vertical height of a 17" 4:3 crt monitor. So for someone who was used to the 21" crt monitor, its going to take a 24" 16:10 led monitor or 26" 16:9 led monitor to have the same vertical height. |

QUOTE(chopin @ Jan 18 2014, 11:30 AM) yeah, agreed. mons with 16:9 ratio will have to be at least 26" to match the height of a 16:10 24" mon, and the price would be too high for average users. I don't find 1080 to be bad. I prefer the size savings over the crt, but I don't have to work full time with life size documents and can make do will scaled down sizes. Actually manufacturers can go ahead to make 29" or larger mons for all I care, but they would be useless for work if the vertical reso is only limited at 1080 - it is too short to be productive - what a waste! From two years ago, my minimum requirement for a new mon is that its height must be at least same or more than the height of an A4 paper - 11.66". For office workers who need vertical size for document editing they can either stick with their old 4:3 crt monitors or change their led monitors to portrait mode. Get a dual led monitor set up (portrait+landscape). |
