Couldn't agree more
I was definitely in the 'notch wtf?!' camp (and still don't own a notched device)
However I've managed to adjust to various devices having all manner of weird pixel/aspect ratios - and I'm definitely a fan of this after the everything has to be 1080 wilderness years.
I can't help but think a lot of this could have been avoided, if notched screens had just been positioned as the dimensions without the notch - and then offered a 'screen plus' mode that extended the published resolution to use the space on either side of the notch.
~We're not ripping you off, we're offering you extra pixels if you want.
Maybe late adoption of OLED is also to blame - with an OLED a notched screen can look just like a shorter one - and then you're given a choice.
- arcticbull 5y agoI think what folks tend to miss is if you subtract out the notched area, you're left with a bog standard 16:10 display. It really is extra bonus space.
- goldcd 5y agoThat's my point. If they had just advertized notched screens with the minimum square resolution and positioned the pixels on each side of the notch as an optional bonus, I think we'd all have been grateful.
