Stop romanticising the past. :) You are certainly having more characters vertically on screen on current environments plus having more horizontally.

- dijit 6y agoStop romanticising the present. Wider (and, crucially: shorter) displays were foisted on us by the majority of computer users being heavy media consumers the desire to consolidate supply chains. The efficacy of a 16:10 (or 5:2) screen is undeniable. I’ve been looking for a good 16:10 screen to replace my aging Dell U2412M’s for over 5 years at this point.
- heelix 6y agoThe 3840x2400 16:10 on the new XPS 17" is very nice. It was a substantial increase from the older 15" i9 mac I use for work. Well worth the extra $400 for it over the 1900x1200 version for me.
- dijit 6y agoMy lamentation at the end was about dedicated displays (off topic in a thread about laptops I know...) I have a new MacBook coming soon, so 16:10 dreams come true there.
- fomine3 6y agoIMO avoiding 16:9 aspect ratio is no longer important on dedicated monitors but still important on laptop monitors.
