Are Gen-X'ers still thinking the user's creating vertical videos are the problem instead of the user experience of viewing vertical videos? Seems they were the only ones ever passionate about protesting this and 'correcting' users. But on the user experience side, this monitor seems to take this concept to an extreme!

  The way you've quoted this I almost thought you were implying "stop right there. Gen-X'ers don't think" ;P

  Alright alright, I had meant some, #notall, and thats it’s peculiar that it seemed generational

  Met a few Gen-Xes who think more worldly than myself and know what a CD is, among other things. We should not make social media think what's on there is representative of society or any particular generation.

I mean, if you want to take it to the actual "extreme", just get a normal widescreen monitor you can rotate to portrait (as opposed to this slightly squarer panel). I have one to the left of my normal monitor, and I use it mostly for chat apps and documentation for the work I'm doing on my main monitor.

  no you would have to get a monitor big enough to do that and still have a comfortable width. As manufacturer makes more of those ultrawides and alike these days, it's actually not easy to find a monitor that's good for use as a SINGLE vertical screen

    Well, trying to find a monitor that works well as a single monitor for other purposes sounds like the opposite of wanting to "take this concept to an extreme".

      What do you mean "other purposes"? My only purpose of the monitor is for work. I need a monitor that's big enough and I don't like to have to make unnecessary head movements while working, hence vertical monitor. There is nothing extreme about it.

The problem with vertical videos isn't the screen. The problem with vertical videos is our vision - our eyes are not stacked vertically.

  It’s not recorded differently at that aspect ratio so it wouldn’t matter how our eyes are stacked. The image processor nor renderer does anything different for the experience to be different. No different than a crop.

    Is this actually true? Are you saying the imager itself has a square ratio? Edit: So that's absolutely false. Imagers absolutely do not have a square aspect ratio. So it's not just about cropping. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor
