Many desktop monitors can be rotated 90 degrees, effectively giving you a 9:16 ratio.

  Horizontal resolution is important as well. 1080 pixels of horizontal resolution is far too little. 1440 is the same as my MacBook's Air's horizontal res, which is kind of ridiculous when I'm paying in excess of $1000 for a monitor. Again, 8:5 ratios give you the same horizontal res (I don't know why this is such a difficult concept to grasp for some people) with more vertical resolution, in landscape mode.

    Earlier you claimed book pages were the ideal ratio. 9x16 is a lot closer than either 8x5 or 5x8.

      Yes, it would be, but then again -- computers are dynamic. We manipulate text around on screen, not just read it like we do in a book. Sufficient horizontal space is required for that.
