yeah u r right. the manufacturers were bought by the entertainment industries and produced all these 16:9 mons that are useless for work.

i have purchased "outdated" used 5:4 (the 1280x1024) monitors and found them to use so very suitable for work, that I practically put aside my 21.5" samsung 16:9 units, and do most of my productive work on it. can u imagine that?

now i own two 24" 16:10 (one at home, one at work), i can lay all these useless units at rest forever already...

but see, in the whole process, i have wasted so much $ on not ideal monitors, and finally save enough $ to buy the more costly 16:10, if i was given the choice in the beginning, much precious $$ would be saved. That's why i write all these so that ppl won't repeat my mistake.

i wish 16:10 ratio monitors were cheap

i wanted that ratio but due to budget constraints i had to get a 16:9 ratio

but so far 16:9 still okay for me

troll maybe

but i agree 4:3 is nice, but only for mobile devices

16:9 best reserved for TVs and monitors, considering that aspect ratio is nice for entertainment purposes
