16:9 is for retards

do they even make monitors that aren't 16:9 anymore?
like how about 4:3? what the FUCK happened to 4:3?

there literally are no large 4:3 monitors with high resolutions, it's just 16:9 fag shit
FUCK

gee it's almost like we have two eyes placed horizontally and 16:9 is a more natural aspect ratio to look at

this. this is also why monitors stop at 144hz, the human eye caps out at 144 frames per sec

There are some square radiology monitors I think

Get a 16:10 user, they aren't 4:3 but close enough.

Why would you want anything other then 16:9 you fucking autists. I remember back in the day using those shit square faggots. You'd have to be a kid to look back on those with anything other then disgust

you can have high resolution in a different aspect ratio, you dumb nigger

best 16:10 monitor?

The iPad pro has a 4:3 display.
Just do all your computing on that.
Once again, Apple has your back.

too small

How dare you

hah epic

There are zero advantages of 4:3 compared to 16:9

>retard who thinks 16:9 is just a few 4:3 side by side
>can't into ratios

What the fuck are you even babbling about mouthbreather, i haven't said anything like that

personally my favorite is a really huge 16:10 display with a high resolution but shitnux cant into proper scaling in fucking 2019 so basically the advantages of 4:3 are big useful working area with a sensible vert:horiz ratio man l2productivity lmaokek

just get a 40' + 4k monitor user, the 2160 vertical res is wonderful

Show me an ultra wide or 4k monitor that can run above 120 frames per second. I have a 16:9 monitor 27" for my gaming rig with a gtx 1070 16gb ram 1tb hard drive and an 8th hen intel i7.

But user, I'm using a 4:3 monitor right now.
BS aside though it's a shame. 16:9 is a godawful fucking aspect ratio,
16:10 is the closest you can possibly get to the golden aspect ratio (which is an irrational number.) 16:9 is literally antithetical to the way our vision works.

Not enough games truly support 4k or ultra wide for me to care.

Not true I love milk but you are drinking it out of fucking big jar with a handle on it like some sort of oogaaboggaa man
As for the other points, no comment

If you NEED 4:3 memes, just get a large format 4k 16:9 display (40-43" panel) and then run a custom resolution for 4:3 aspect ratio.

So 2880x2160 instead of 3840x2160. Much larger res than what you'll find from any native 4:3 panel. And you can get 40" 4k panels for under $400 easily.

It's not about being poor.
I have a T60 and I've spent over $150 on getting it into perfect condition this year, even though I could have bought a T430 or T420 for the same money.
It's about realizing that it's all I need and accepting the superiority of its quality.

clearly, your not a man of culture.

Based and redpilled.

This. I'm the guy with the pic and that's percisely what I've done. It's such a wonderful machine. I have an expensive desktop locked away in the closet and a cheap NAS running in am open cabinet.

Content is made for 16:9.

Be a producer, not a consumer.

Could you explain?

>video games are made for 16:9
ftfy
other than documentaries, porn and irrelevant shit, no movie is made for 16:9

>movie
No movie is made for 4:3 or 1:1 either. While almost all tv series are 16:9.

If you still haven't upgraded the cpu, make sure you buy proper paste, as it will be a lot hotter then stock.
Also consider buying a T61 motherboard off ali (nvidia boards die, intels don't).
The newer cpus are a lot cooler and faster

The difference is NOTHING is made with 4:3 or 16:10 in mind.
NO CONTENT at ALL.

Found the underage. What is almost every game made before 2006, and most television before the turn of the decade?

Why the fuck should anyone care about legacy support? We're over 10 years past the beginning of the HD era.

NEW hardware should target CURRENT trends, not what was popular 15 years ago.

I too owned 4:3 CRTs, and no, I don't think we should ever go back.

>reddit spacing underaged faggot is trying to move the goalposts
No, you said that NOTHING is made with 4:3 or 16:10 in mind. Eat your words you little shitbird.
Also, see Stalker is filmed in 4:3. Lots of shitty hipster films are being made in 4:3 for Sundance festivals now too.

seething 4:3 fags itt

Buy 21:9 with pbp support, it's like 2 almost square monitors next to each other without bezel in between.

i absolutely love my 16:9 monitor

>Your granddad didn't kill nazi's for this future.
I explicitly said they were shitty for the sake of the discussion. Quit your strawmanning, you're not winning any points.

Or just buy a 40" 4k panel, then it's like having 4 1080p monitors in a square without a bezel.

>you're not winning any points.
says the man advocating for 4:3 in 2018.

Righto.

Virtual monitors in VR will fix it

You still have no argument against it. 16:9 is shit for productivity and falls outside of the human field of view. Only consumer whores advocate for it. In fact, there's a reason 3:2 has been creeping into popularity with laptops.

>shitty hipster films are being made in 4:3 for Sundance
So, irrelevant shit? Also, 1.85:1 fits almost perfectly on 16:9 and this is one of the most popular formats.

>jewish circumcised aspect ratio
oy vey

What a joke, a someone else already said, no 4:3 panels exist. If you want to run 4:3 custom resolution on a larger res 16:9 panel, by all means, be my guest. But you're never going to convince panel manufacturers to bring 4:3 back. It will ALWAYS be a niche resolution.

I honestly don't care what you're pretending "ideal" is for a monitor. The fact is it doesn't exist in modern consumer panels, whinging and crying for it to come back isn't going to do a damn thing but make you look like a child.

>reason 3:2 has been creeping into popularity with laptops.
Has nothing to do with screen. 3:2 fits bezelless on a laptop with keyboard and touchpad.

T60 user here. Mine survived a 4 foot drop on concrete while running and it was still going when I picked it up.

I drive truck over the road and those old T60's are fucking bulletproof. I Middleton'd and Penyrn'd my T61 which is pretty much the same thing with a different screen it's comical turning it on and looking at the Speccy temps in fucking Montana and it's -10 outside lol

>The fact is it doesn't exist in modern consumer panels
There's that word again, "consumer." Thanks for proving my point, sheep.

even outside of consumer panels, show me a modern high res 4:3 panel. Even if it's $10,000, just show me one.

now i want to buy a jar with a handle, thanks user

>Have 21:9 monitor
>Put 2 windows side by side
>Nice squares

16:9 is fine for tvs but 16:10 should be the only monitor AR allowed

You're moving the goalposts again, or you're just dumb. The reason why 4:3 fell out of favor for an inferior aspect ratio is because of mindless consumerism, and influence from the film industry. How conveniently timed with every idiot and their mother starting to swarm onto the internet and give their dumbass opinions. nobody in their right mind thought 16:9 was superior for computing.
I have like 10 of them. A buck a piece at dollar tree. They're fucking great. I drink my coffee out of them every morning and I drink my tea out of them at night.

5:4 the real master race

ye but then he is back at 16:9

You're gonna call me out by saying well of COURSE no CONSUMER panel has 4:3, then it's apparently moving the goal posts when I ask you to name ANY modern 4:3 panel.

Look, just admit, no one is going to buy old hardware in 2018 unless they have a very specific use case for it. The average consumer will never give a fuck about 4:3, and so no panel manufacturers will either.

Eizo has a few still being produced, but they're using the old 1600x1200 res panel production lines, and unless they have a reason to upgrade to something higher res, that will likely be where 4:3 panels die.

This one you posted is 5:4.

>Look, just admit, no one is going to buy old hardware in 2018 unless they have a very specific use case for it.
That's not the argument I'm trying to make. You've been evading addressing it the entire time because you have no point.
>The average consumer will never give a fuck about 4:3, and so no panel manufacturers will either.
Yes, the average sheep does not care. They only use computers for Facebook and porn. I haven't been arguing about whether people will care or not, I have been arguing that 4:3 is superior to 16:9 for the practical application of computing. Noting more, nothing less.
Also, for the love of god,

stop

reddit

spacing

you

look

a

you can run whatever resolution you want on a panel that size.

4:3 2880x2160

etc

>I spent over $150 this year
This doesn't make you not poor lmao. I'm poor too user. Just accept it instead of lying to yourself and others.

I've been reddit spacing on Jow Forums since before reddit existed as a website, you wont stop me now just because in the last 3-4 years it's become popular to call it "reddit" spacing. Back in my day we just called it less condensed formatting.

Also, what the fuck is your point then?

>I just wanna bitch and moan about something that I can't change and will never come back

okay then, have fun.

Damn! That is a nice monitor for work.

>less condensed formatting
World record for one of the stupidest sounding excuses I've ever heard in my life. A winner is you , user. I'm calling the people who write the Guinness Book of World Records right now.

It's also $1000 for the same number of pixels you get in a 2560x1440p 16:9 panel that would cost you $250-300.


Or you could get 2.5x as many pixels with a 4k panel for about $500-1000 depending on the panel and color accuracy.

Do you actually think no one used this type of formatting before reddit?


You know you can look at old Jow Forums archives and see the posts from before reddit existed...right? Just go look for the posts, I can promise you they exist. I was there.

They weren't common. Stop spreading revisionist bullshit.

I never said they were, but implying it's from reddit is fucking retarded, and further acting as if you can "spot" a redditor is even stupider.

I get called out for this "reddit" spacing at least once or twice a week for the past 2-3 years, before then I still typed exactly the same, but never got called out at all.

More than likely the ones really spreading the "reddit spacing" meme, are in fact redditors.

>More than likely the ones really spreading the "reddit spacing" meme, are in fact redditors.
>no u
Get a load of this nigger

I don't see the problem with 16:9 in regards to work, or at least not the work I do (programming). 16:9 is indeed terrible if the resolution is very low, even 1920x1080 doesn't really feel comfortable due to lacking vertical space, but nowadays you can easily get 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 monitors and both of those offer plenty of space.

>It's also $1000
Ouch! Yeah... not worth it to get more vertical space. It would be better to get a big 16:9 (or two) and mount it 90°.

My argument was listed above. You still haven't responded to it. How is 16:9 superior for practical computing? Go o now, don't be shy. You've only neglected to answer it for some 10-15 posts or so.

Yup, and this is really what killed 4:3 panels.

16:9 was popular for consumers, AND it could easily be adopted for work use, even with the less vertical space, just throwing 2 or 3 panels next to each other, or one atop the other was FAR cheaper to use 16:9 panels that were being made cheaply for consumers in MUCH larger numbers than 4:3 panels.

Market of scale, even if 4:3 is "ideal", multiple 16:9 panels are just SOOO much cheaper.

It doesn't need to be superior, it just has to actually exist as a product. Which 16:9 does, but 4:3 fails.

>the product I want doesn't exist
>BUT IF IT DID IT WOULD BE WAY BETTER THAN YOURS
lol, okay?

Iirc, the latest asus proart 16:10 displays have HDR support.

That's not the point of my argument though. Here you go again, avoiding the BASIC QUESTION. If you weren't so insecure about your beliefs you would own up to it and answer it already.
samefag

>That's not the point of my argument though
The point is your argument is specious. You're arguing for something that doesn't exist, and wont exist.
