I think some things don't change. It's been this way since monitors were 16:12 (4:3) then 16:10, 16:9, 18:9 (2:1) and now 20:9 and 21:9. The wider the monitor the less height. I didn't like the loss of height and 16:10 monitors are practically gone.

Ahhh geez... Are they really doing this with monitors too ? I got my monitor, a really nice LG 16:9 Ultra 4K, 27" 2 years ago. It was a wider aspect ratio than my monitor before... But I think 16:9 is very asthetically pleasing, and I crop most of my photos close to that when it works, anyway.

But if this monitor dies in a few years and all I can get is a 22:9, I'd be seriously upset !

I think I'm going to go look at monitors now, and see if I'm already screwed....
