Laptops always have tradeoffs that involve size and overall dimensions. I'm not surprised 16:9 are popular with device makers because it means they can be smaller than laptops with other screen ratios.
If you don't like 16:9 for your home PC just rotate the monitor so you have a 9:16 instead. I find that way better for coding.
- pseudalopex 6y agoMost 16:9 laptops have thick bezels. They could have 16:10 in the same space. 16:9 is just cheaper. Most 16:10 screens add rows to a common 16:9 resolution. So 10:16 is even better than 9:16.
