They say that PC makers have no say in the issue, screen manufacturers are all wide-screen these days.
Yet Apple had no problem sourcing 4:3 displays for their iPad? I guess when there's a will there's a way.
- protomyth 15y agoApple has the money and volume to get whatever size they want.
- kgermino 15y agoAren't iPads 16:10? Honestly curious, I can't tell if 4:3 was a typo or if there's something I'm missuing.
- orangecat 15y agoiPads are 4:3 (1024x768). Apple's laptops are still 16:10, but iMacs have unfortunately moved to 16:9.
- eridius 15y agoFunnily enough, Daring Fireball just had a bit on the 4:3 aspect ratio today: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/05/24/tall-and-narrow http://daringfireball.net/linked/2011/05/24/tall-and-narrow
