[citation][nom]velocityg4[/nom]That would be great but 16:10 is just no longer the standard 16:9 now is. With 27" 16:9 pushing out 30" 16:10 and 1920x1080 pushing out both 1680x1050 and 1920x1200.What I never understood in the first place was why HDTV was made at 16:9. Most movies are shot in 2.35:1 so why not use that?[/citation]
cost... you have to imagine that even now, many movies are still shot on actual film, and tv shows dont have an endless budget that a movie has, so they have to go cheaper... well... not cheaper... tv cameras cost in the range of 50000$ to fit a stupid standard, even if a 5000$ camera is just as good quality wise, you also have to remember that its precieved that people hate widescreen, and movie and tv produces are borderline retarded (the people in charge, not the directors and creators)... they went a middle of the road. not to wide, not to 4:3
at least for a pc, i will never use a 2:1 a 16:9 or a 4:3 ever again, after having a 1920x1200 16:10, its something you never want to move away from.
plus the bennifit of having a large screen space, a taller monitor for 4:3 content and a wide monitor that also fits 16:9 with barely any bars, allows for ui to be present and not distort or modify video
[citation][nom]traumadisaster[/nom]Im wanting a 2k gaming monitor of some sort as soon as the price drops. 2560x1600 are about $900 or more now, should i wait until the end of the year or splurge now?[/citation]
unless you need a new monitor, or have money burning a hole in your pocket, i suggest holding off till 2014 for a new monitor, oled should hit tv hard this year or next, and monitor oleds should follow after the tvs... i differentiate monitors and tvs, my 1920x1200 is a monitor that has a tv tuner, my brothers 16:9 120hz tv has a port to also be used as a monitor.
