I don't understand why 3:2 and 16:10 have taken over the mobile space but if I want one for my desktop my choices are 1920x1200 or a thirty inch, thousand dollar monstrosity with bad response times.

What's the thousand dollar monstrosity? The only decent resolution taller monitor I'm aware of is the huawei mateview, which isn't available in the US

  Perhaps the Dell 30" LCD UP3017A?

  There are some 30 and 32 inch 2560x1600 monitors, such as from Dell, but they're mostly geared toward offices and artists and have terrible input latency and response times.

My sentiment exactly. 27" is a bit too tall vertically, but 26" or 25" would be ideal (with a resolution larger than 1920x1200).

If you’re in Europe, or are willing to attempt to import, the Huawei MateView is a brilliant 3:2 4K panel.

  Why not something like the LG 27UK500-B on Amazon? 4K with 3:2 aspect ratio at ~$350

    What do you mean 3:2? :)

    Everything I can find on the LG 27UK500-B says it's 16:9 https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+27UK500-B+aspect+ratio&oq=LG+27UK500-B+aspect+ratio&aqs=chrome..69i57.2121j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+27UK500-B+aspect+ratio&oq...

  God. I just looked that up. Looks sexy as fuck. I can't see that Huawei gear is actually banned from import into the USA right now, though? Am I missing something?

  Brilliant? As I recall it has light bleed issues and doesn't even let you adjust the color balance.

Bad response times plague the mobile space too. Just look at the new MBP with its 120hz display that has >40ms latency. But Mac displays, though looking gorgeous, have always had latency that was heavily perceptible. Is there even a mainstream desktop display that has anywhere near the latency of Macs?

  >40ms latency is insane if true. Got a source?

The black to white latency is over 90ms, which is quite funny to me. Macs have always been horrific for latency - I can always see the delay between me pressing a key and the letter appearing. But, I can also see iPhone OLED displays flick on and off due to their low frequency PWM, so this might be unusual pickiness from me.

You can always buy a inch+10% 4k 16:9 display and just set a 3:2, 16:10 or whatever resolution with cropping edges, e.g. 3456x2160 or 3240x2160 (check if your vcard can do that). It may be hard psychologically, but it’s so less expensive.

  I tried that, but it makes fullscreen applications like games behave very oddly and inconsistently and required constant fiddling.
