What monitor aspect ratio does /g/ have?

16:10 on everything.

16:10 >=1920x1200 absolutely comfy
3:4 - 16:9 - 3:4
(40" 4k with two portrait 16x12 displays)
Is 21:9 just a meme or does it have some benefits?
>>55298170
THIS. 16:10, The Golden Ratio. You masterrace plebs have nothing on us Golden Gods.
>>55298245
It breaks most video games and removes black bars on movies that have them, that's about it.
>>55298257
What about other applications like productivity? Cause I mean not all about games eh?

I like 21:9, its like having a couple of flexible width monitors.

If you use 16:9 you are officially utlra-pleb-normie tier and shouldn't even be on the internet. Go do normie things like socializing and getting drunk at partays an' shit. REEEEEEEEEEE

Honestly I don't even understand aspect ratios and why most films are shot in 2:45 or whatever.
Why can't they just maintain the same width but increase the height they shoot movies in for each frame? Then you'd have no black bars on anything.

That's a flat faced lie.

There are some movies where they literally did that. The cinema versions had less vertical area than the BD releases.
It is stupid.
>>55298796
>>55298885
there's nothing wrong with video games

I agree, but please post relevant discussion to /v/. Thank you.

16:9
I couldn't give a fuck about your arguments, they are simply cheaper that 16:10 due to supply and demand.
Jerk off to your superiority complex while I save some money.
>>55298641
Had to check my clock and make sure I hadn't traveled back about 10 years or so.
And even if they DON'T support 16:9, who actually gets that upset at black bars, especially in a world of monitors with thick ass bezels? Only thing that bothered me was "hey, that's space the game COULD be using!"
16:9 is shit. I can be more productive on a taller monitor, but I still get the benefits of a 16:9 monitor at the same measurement. It's just the best.

It's nothing to do with a superiority complex. Just pure superiority.
>>55302426
Can confirm. I have a Dell U2415 and I can't imagine getting anything else.
>AWESOME colors
>None of the usual IPS bullshit
>thin and sexy bezels
I struggle to think people seriously buy 1440p and 144Hz monitors before buying something with decent colors.
My only real complaint is that it doesn't accept 16:9 input, so I need to get a second 16:9 monitor so I can play vidya on it in case I get a console. Not sure if I should go for a u2414H or something else that's cheaper desu.
Anybody have a rec that won't break the bank, but still has pretty good colors?
>>55298165
16:9 on everything, which is just coincidence
4:3 is really nice for monitoring purposes
>>55298170
>tfw no 144hz 16:10 monitor exists
It's sad to be a programmer/vidya gaymer
>>55298385
But 16:10 lets you watch 16:9 tv shows perfectly while the taskbar and player controls are still there
>>55302497
>>55302426
Shit nigga that shit is on sale on Amazon for $250 from $400
Gonna have to get me one
>>55298385
>cause I like to watch movies and TV shows
That exact reason is why I have a 16:10 monitor and not 16:9
>>55303043
Why would you want that shit visible?
>>55303073
Why wouldnt you?
>>55303081
Because I'm not watching the taskbar or player controls, I'm watching the damned movie.
>>55298165
See >>55298201
I've only found one application lately that has given me a desire for more screen real estate, and even in that case 1600x1200 is my preferred upgrade path.
>>55302169
why aren't you using 21:9 then, the actual preferred resolution of most movies and content actually worth mindlessly consuming?
>>55302169
black bars are why 16:10 is better
>>55302497
>it doesn't accept 16:9 input

>he doesn't overclock his monitor
It's sad to be retarded.
>>55303238
I mean it doesn't add black bars to it last I checked. If you plug in a console, it just stretches the signal.
>>55303547
Monitors don't overclock that far, you can maybe get from 60hz to 75hz
It IS sad to be retarded!
>>55303572
You haven't flipped through the monitor settings to see if it has an aspect ratio setting? I'm sure on a professional artist-grade monitor it HAS to have something like that
>>55303547

>he thinks software overclocking is real overclocking
Cute.
>>55303676
>open source drivers
That's your first mistake, stop being freetarded. Overclocking LED monitors is piss easy if you know basic electronics, I have a 59Hz cheap acer running at 227Hz and it's been like that for 2 years with no issue.
>>55303499
technically is an aspect ratio
>>55299521
I actually fell for a meme because of shit like this. No regrets
>>55303772

Enjoy your 60Hz cuck.
In context of PC usage, 5:4, 4:3 and 8:5 are the only usable ratios. Also anything larger than 24" is unusable (disclaimer: been using Eizo CG303W for the last five years and hated every second of it).
>>55303749
Well, I just tried overcucking my monitor to 75Hz and it looked like shit. The resolution looked terrible, text was barely readable.
>>55303859
use a coolermaster monitor fan
>>55303825
My main monitor for the last 14 years have been Eizo T960, 1600x1200@120Hz.
But what does that have to do with
>LED monitors,
a marketing term, when used, makes one lose any credibility on techical knowledge related to monitors.
You probably dont understand the fact either that motion blur stays equal on between 60Hz and 144Hz on LCD monitors when using sample & hold.
>>55303632
Yep, absolutely positive from the internet and checking the settings. It accepts 4:3, 5:4, and 16:10 scaling. It's kind of weird.
>>55298165
>tfw so hipster my monitor's ratio isn't even listed
>>55302497
>AWESOME colors
Gamma is fucked, no LUT at all.
>None of the usual IPS bullshit
Strong IPS glow. Blue LED's with white coating in edge arrangment making the backlight: huge spike in blue color, uneven brightness. Possibly lots of backlight bleed, but applies to every LCD monitor on individual basis.
The 'thin' bezels makes subjective black levels pretty bad. There is inner black area, so 'thin' bezelness is nothing but marketing trap.
At least it doesnt have long input lag.

My african american friend.
>>55302497
Just buy a LED "TV".
They are piss cheap, 1080p, and big as shit.
That's how you game with consoles anyway.
>>55302497
>>55305425
OR, you can just buy a simple "gamer streaming card", like Avermedia, plug your console in that, and you can just full screen view input.
Thus, use your current display with black bars, zoom, stretch, whatever you prefer.

>>55303942
Well that's fucked.
Does it at least display PC resolutions right? Like if I use 1920x1080 will it stretch that too or letterbox it?
5:4 primary, 4:3 secondary. It sucks when trying to play a game that won't do anything except 16:9.
