This site has a fairly good explanation of the benefits of 16:10 http://sixteenbyten.com/

16:10 is better than 16:9 for anything but watching movies because the screen would be as wide anyway, so the 16:9 turns into a reduced height display. Furthermore watching movies with a little black stripes above and below the video is not so bad.

Achieving 16:10 by taking a standard 16:9 resolution and making it less wide rather than making it taller is not better.
