I think this is mostly due to software support, e.g. for ultrawides (21:9) you often can have it pretend to be two or three separate monitors. At that point the only difference between multiple smaller monitors and one wide one is whether you have bezels.
That said, in my opinion the problem is not the aspect ratio but the number of pixels. For example, I could take my 2560x1440 (16:9) display and put a black bar on the right to make it 1920x1440. That would be a "better" ratio, but having the extra horizontal pixels does not hurt (e.g. for a dock). The problem is that Xx1080 is just not enough vertical pixels, period. No matter whether it is 1920x1080 or 1080x1080.
- nottorp 3y agoOh my multiple smaller monitors are 1920x1200 :) There are no 4k 16:10 monitors that I know of - one day I'll have to make the jump.
- diffeomorphism 3y agoHuawei Mateview is 3840x2560, so you even get a few more vertical pixels for a 3:2 aspect ratio. There also is the Surface Studio at 4500 x 3000, which, however, is an all-in-one. I haven't tried either of them, but there are (expensive) options.
- nottorp 3y agoThe Surface Studio isn't a monitor is it? And at a quick glance the Huawei Mateview has too many "features" to call it a monitor as well.
