I miss the 16/10 era of monitors so much. I saw it advertised as a feature in some recent laptop.

My laptop is a 16:10 screen! I love it.

Lots of notebooks thankfully adopted 16:10 or even 3:2 again, yeah.

I miss 3:4. Don't know why everyone loves these stupidly wide monitors. Modern displays have fewer vertical pixels than my damn 2002-era CRT did.

I think 16:10 strikes a nice balance, particularly on laptop displays. It's wide enough to handle a couple of side-by-side windows well without feeling particularly starved for vertical pixels.

For large monitors though (27"+) the need for width is reduced… I've never used a 4:3 or 5:4 monitor that large but I don't think it'd bother me nearly as much as those aspect ratios at small sizes do.
