    Too square. Seriously: https://www.quora.com/Why-did-TVs-give-up-their-square-for-rectangular-shapes https://www.quora.com/Why-did-TVs-give-up-their-square-for-r... Tldr: our peripheral vision extends width wise more than it does height wise. That 4:3 was popular at all was an artificial of display technology not being able to take advantage of that. Now, of course for using a computer vs just watching movies or playing games, 4:3 makes a lot of sense, but I think we’d see 3:4 (portrait letter size) before 1:1.
