Square is best. Lmaoing at 16:9 fags.
>>54306274
I'd say that having both monitors at the same time is the perfect combination. One for reading and the other for shit and giggles.
4:3 is best i think
>>54306289
5:4 is better.
16:10 is the best, but only because of the 16:9 standardisation.
>>54306274
I bought a 5:4 and it's annoying.
For tablets 4:3 is perfect.
for a fucking cyclops maybe
you literally see the world in widescreen you mong
>>54306301
Dual 16:10 is godly. Wish i had 1200/24" instead of 1050/22" though
>>54306337
>you literally see the world in widescreen
>>54306337
At 30fps?
>>54306353
dual 1440/25" or 27" is best
>>54306274
But what if I have 4K 16:9? Your square is irrelevant.
>>54306378
Eh, mine is the poorfag setup. $60 monitors and a thinkpad.
>>54306386
Fair enough, $265 each for the monitors and ~$2,200 on the desktop (though a decent part of that is HDDs)
>>54306274
9:16 is best
>>54306337
More like 5:3
But peripheral vision is shit so 4:3 displays is best
>>54306430
Why not have a round monitor?

$265 for a 1440p 60hz IPS.
Why would I want to spend almost double that just to get another 160 vertical pixels?
You're telling me you'd rather have a 2560xx1600 60hz IPS for $400+ instead of 2x 2560x1440p 60hz IPS?
You're a retard good sir.
>>54306457
>being this retarded
Because windows are square, and you would waste the screen space.
>>54306552
Windows are rarely square. Most of the time they're just rectangular.

Too tall: results in neck strain from tilting your head up to see the top of the screen.

>You're telling me you'd rather have a 2560xx1600 60hz IPS for $400+ instead of 2x 2560x1440p 60hz IPS?
I'd rather have two 2560x1600 because I'm not poor.
>>54306584
I have to assume he's demonstrating that the screen can display two documents side-by-side and still have space left over for your inbox or whatever.
Otherwise he's just a pervert molesting a poor, innocent monitor.
>>54306430
>peripheral vision is shit
Which is why it's awesome both my eyes and neck can rotate.
can't yours?
>>54306612
Sure, but in that case i'd rather have 4 2560x1440
>>54306529
Why are you making this an argument about cost? You're not addressing that guy's point at all, which is that 16:10 is superior. And it is.
>You're a retard good sir.
Back to le reddit, my classy gentlesir.
>>54306509
What a fucking autismo.
>>54306578
got me dude
It's perfect for looking at globes.
>inb4 Earth is an ellipsoid
That leaves you with just enough vertical pixels for the menu bar. It's genius.
>>54306637
My point is more resolution is always going to be preferable. Even if 16:10 is "better' it's pointless when you're spending DOUBLE just to get it.
You can get double 16:9 which is ALWAYS going to be more useful than a single 16:10, even if your autismo is telling you that 16:10 is better.!1111oneoneONe!
>>54306632
>rotating your neck all day like a bobblehead just to look at a screen right in front of you
You're gonna carry that weight
>>54306683
As if a few hundred dollars were relevant, for a device that's going to be used professionally for years.
>>54306703
which is why we see so many new 16:10 panels being developed. No one buys them. Even in professional markets, 16:9 is just more economical because all consumer panels are 16:9.
No one pays for 16:10 premium unless they have autism, even in the professional market.
>>54306657
And now for the part on why we would want to look at globes all day...
>>54306600
Why not a single 2:1 screen?
>>54306688

Your universal claim can be disproved with just one counterexample.
>>54306793
>What is rhetorical speech
Seriously man, you gotta understand in written and verbal communications there is what is known as hyperbole. It is a type of rhetoric, and something that you really should have had at least a basic understanding of by the time you left 10th grade.
>>54306683
>>54306717
I don't understand why you're going to bat so hard for what is ultimately a cost-cutting measure by manufacturers. The reason 16:10 panels are no longer widely developed is not because "no one buys them." Nobody actually prefers 16:9 for a computer monitor. They're just cheaper to make. Less material, more parts/manufacturing compatibility with television screens. But unless watching movies is all you do with your computer, 16:10 is going to be preferable. Even Apple understands this shit.
And you're exaggerating the costs. I needed to buy a new monitor a month ago and I paid about 50 CAD more for a 16:10 IPS than I would have for and equivalent 16:9. It was well worth it, even on a budget setup.
>>54306775
How terrible is your posture normally that you can't discern the repetitive motion injury that you surely have from your every day aches and pains?
>>54306834
>I needed to buy a new monitor a month ago and I paid about 50 CAD more for a 16:10 IPS than I would have for and equivalent 16:9. It was well worth it, even on a budget setup.
since it was so recent, please provide links to models you were looking at, and the supposed $50 difference.
Thanks senpai, im sure you'll come through for me.
>>54306509
hey look this huge screen is bigger than two tiny screens
also great for the animes
>>54306766
Because autism
>>54306849
Apparently not terrible at all, since I spend all day at work in front of widescreen monitors in landscape and portrait, and then come home to more widescreen in portrait.
Your neck is literally designed for this kinds of small repetitive movements.
Maybe if you sat up straight and didn't have the posture and neck of a fuckin mongloid you wouldn't have your neck pains.

There ya go, famalam. $249 after MIR.
I'll leave you to find out what a 24 inch 16:9 IPS monitor costs in Canada, since I have never seriously considered buying one.
I have a huge 16/9 screen but still use the browser windowed, on the right half of the screen so that it's mostly square.
Web browsing in 16/9 is retarded.
>>54306766
You mean 21:10
>>54306962
So, what's on the other 7/16th?
>>54306956
>monitor from 2013 that is out of stock
>no display port
senpai, i'm not retarded.
>>54307012
Either a video/movie/stream, my music player, the terminal, the file manager.
Or more generally nothing.
>>54306766
Two squares are more versatile. I can connect a 2nd computer to one monitor whenever I wish
>>54306965
You mean ( P2 : √2 ) / 0.1
>>54307016
It's out of stock because it is currently in my home, plugged into my computer. I'm not posting my invoice to win an internet pissing contest. If you look around, Best Buy, newegg etc stock this model too albeit for $40 or so more.
>no display port
This is not a dealbreaker for me. 16:9 is though.
>>54306688
Left-right is fine.
Up-down is a problem - hence the invention of widescreen.

>>inb4 Earth is an ellipsoid
actually it's an oblate spheroid.
>>54307419
It's too lumpy and misshapen to fit into either shape.
Closest approximation is called a geoid.
>>54307708
Your head's shaped like a geoid.
>>54307708
The difference between height and width is less than 0.1%
1 pixel on a 1080p screen.
I'll have you know that 7:3 is master race.

That picture is only true if you don't add water
>>54307899
>too short to display documents at a reasonable size
Even your own image proves it's shit.
>>54307708
topkek, thinking an exaggerated visualisation of the earth's topology gives an accurate picture of what it looks like.
Check Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid
The geoid surface is irregular, unlike the reference ellipsoid which is a mathematical idealized representation of the physical Earth, but considerably smoother than Earth's physical surface. Although the physical Earth has excursions of +8,848 m (Mount Everest) and −429 m (Dead Sea), the geoid's variation ranges from −106 to +85 m, less than 200 m total[5] compared to a perfect mathematical ellipsoid

I thought about getting a 34" 3440x1440 21:9 ultrawide.
But turned out 2 2560x1440 was higher resolution, half the price, and had less issues with backlight bleed or games simply not working right.
Sure I have a small bezel in the middle, but meh, still much smaller bezel than my previous setups.

You still have to play games on one of the two monitors or put up with a bezel in the middle. Or any kind of fullscreen work.
You pay half for half the experience.
>>54309918
>have to play games
>>54307899
Wow, you just keep looking at smaller versions of the same documents...yep..I'll take comfort over eye strain. You know you could just keep making the windows smaller and I am sure you could fit a shit load more docs on the screen at the same time...yep...makes sense.
I help n to my Samsung 204B triple screens as long as I could until one died..only then did I replace all with new screens..miss my 4:3's..still have one that works like a champ.
>>54310236
>samsung 204B
someone on craigslist is selling one for $10, should i buy it anon?
>>54309918
Well im not really using it for games 90% of the time, and also there are plenty of games that dont work on 21:9 or require editing ini files to get it working.
Playing on a single 2560x1440 isn't a huge compromise either.

Enjoy your neck pain AND autism, i have 16:9.
4:3 is very good for online FPS gaming, but aside from that it fucking blows.
