I often have two editors in vertical columns side by side while I work, and it's nice to have a wider screen. Unfortunately with 16:10, they don't usually add to the vertical resolution but rather subtract from the horizontal resolution (2880x1800 16:10 versus 3200x1800 16:9).

What about 1920x1080 (16:9) vs 1920x1200 (16:10) and 2560x1440 (16:9) vs 2560x1600 (16:10)? I have seen it as the norm that height gets added rather than width subtracted.
