>can only get shit 16:9 laptop that is only suitable for watching jewwood movies

also 4:3 15" screen has more surface area and is more expensive to produce than 16:9 15"

but goyim thinks 15" 4:3 is as "big" as 15" 16:9. so jews can sell 15" 16:9 for price of 15" 4:3

4:3 was a mistake, 16:9 has always been superior. What OP has a point about though is keyboards and the kludgery of input on cellphone devices.

>>1011778

>4:3 was a mistake, 16:9 has always been superior.

let's compare

working with spreadsheets: 4:3 destroys 16:9

working with documents: 4:3 destroys 16:9

web browsing: 4:3 destroys 16:9

watching or editing photos: 4:3 destroys 16:9

playing strategy or board geyms: 4:3 destroys 16:9

working with folders & files: 4:3 destroys 16:9

software development: 4:3 destroys 16:9

reading books, pdfs: 4:3 destroys 16:9

playing "interactive movie" type of geyms: 16:9 defeats 4:3

watching stupid movies: 16:9 destroys 4:3 (only because movies are produced in 16:9 format)

Different screens for different applications.

I can get a 20" screen for gaymen and having fun, and if I need to I can simply readjust the resolution or drag the edges of the frame I need to see until it fits the ratio I prefer or the one I can work with the best.

But i'll keep in mind your notes in case I decide to become an l33t h4x0r in the future

>>1011802

shutup nignog, LCDs (99% of the 16:9 monitors) are trash, especially for games. they're more suitable to showing shitty 25FPS hollywood movies made by engineers who avoid showing moving content on screen. ignoring blur issues, they're laggy and look like shit.

16:10 is closer to the golden ratio.

4:3 is fine, as an incalculable amount of software had been produced for displays with this aspect ratio.

I need to get another keyboard for my phone, since I almost never use it outside of the house anymore, and it makes responding to people who won't use email so much faster.

>>1011774 (OP)

Are you actually retarded? You do realise laptops and desktops still exist right? The only thing that has changed is that consumers get more choice.

Your only real choices for computer monitors these days is 16:9 or maybe 16:10. To get 4:3 you either have to buy used or a really expensive industrial model (like $1000 or more price range). And with laptops you're just plain shit out of luck, unless you want an old Thinkpad T60 or earlier.

>>1011779

Nigga, just get one of these rotatable 16:9.

>>1011878

This. It's a shame that only Dell still makes 16:10 monitors, though I recently bought 2 and they're really good still not as good as a CRT also no freesync

>>1011884

>consumers get more choice

no faggot, everything is mobile-first and UX-enhanced now. even gnome has become completely unusable shit in the last 10 years. but since we're talking about nigga technology here, unbounded input latency hitting over 100ms in practice for every program and a blocking GET request to open a context menu are perfectly fine design choices.

>that ribbon/toolbar + status bar + window title bar + desktop toolbar = no more vertical screen area

Software keyboards are the best! Anything you type goes straight to Goog HQ. Anything including that billion dollar idea for your startup, they probably already patented it for you. Smarts!

>>1012441

Most laptops have cheap shit. Even my old T61p with 16:10 didn't have an option to display in 4:3. If you set X to 1024x768, it would just get stretched.

That's the point. 4:3 is superior but jews forced people to 16:9, they only sell 16:9. and consumers are niggers, cattle, that buys this shit

what the fuck do you search on stupid shitphone outside home?

because I can create thing with PC and consume with PC, which is superior to SP. why would I watch video files on 4" SP if I can use device that is several times bigger? why listen to audio on shit SP speaker if I could use full size speakers? why play games with your fingers on screen if you can use gamepad or mouse+keyboard?

>Wait, you have a 4" screen?

I don't have 4" screen because I don't have jewphone

>What kind of peasant can't afford a 5"+ device? You might just be stuck in prehistoric times OP.

>>1012852

That's only true for the movie industry and CRT monitors. The first because movies go cropped for the modern audience which wasn't the aspect ratios fault tbqh but rather the hollywood jews who did it,

the second one because CRTs perform inherently worse in wide aspect ratios.

Most vidya determine fov by height and not by width anyway.

>>1012930

what fucking information are you being conveyed when looking at a blog post with empty space on the sides

>>1011774 (OP)

One of humanity's worst traits, the reason why good things never last, and the thing that will possibly be a major cause of its eventual extinction, is an obsession, or really, an addiction to things that are "new". And it's inherent. Children tend to be born with it and most of the time it's just impossible to fix. Being a weirdo, I escaped this tendency, but I see it in almost everyone I know. Everything good is eventually abandoned because it's old. Bad ideas are a lot more common than good ones, so if you want something new because it's new, chances are you want something worse because it's new. When everything good has already been done, making something bad is the only way to make something new.

>>1012929

4:3 suits our vision better, but a square has a lot of advantages as well. It's inherently the most versatile kind of monitor that you can have since it functions equally well for vertical (a vertical monitor is undeniably better for certain tasks, like reading, and even a lot of arcade games) and horizontal aspect ratios. Not necessarily the best for anything, but the versatility would probably make up for it. Wide screens, though, are just annoying. I always feel like I have too much horizontal space but not enough vertical space. Not sure that it particularly benefits even videos. Video games I don't think benefit from it for the most part. Some people would argue that it benefits first person games, but back in the day, playing Doom and Duke Nukem 3D and fucking Quake on 4:3 CRTs, I never thought "I sure wish I had a wider screen right now", it just never happened.

What happens when someone explains and proves to normalidiot that old thing is better than new?

I think 4:3 is more versatile as it's also good for media (photos, videos). 5:4 or square seems best for office work, web browsing, research.

That makes things worse, but it doesn't change the fact that the vulnerability is already there in the first place. I don't think getting rid of it is necessarily possible. Some people are more resistant to that, and it's probably the same group of people that are immune to marketing. Just looking at history is enough. Whenever people have something good, the first thing they do is ruin it because they never know what the fuck they are doing so they never want to stop. Very few people can appreciate what they have. Most people just want something that isn't what they have even if it's tremendously inferior.

>What happens when someone explains and proves to normalidiot that old thing is better than new?

In my experience they will just mock you, or reluctantly agree and in an hour they will already be talking like the conversation never happened, or they will not respond at all because talking to normalfags tends to be like talking to brick walls. Normalfags aren't people, even if they like something old that happens to be good, they will only like it because it's old and they are contrarians or have some attachment to it because they are old themselves.

>5:4 or square seems best for office work, web browsing, research.

I can accept that. Really, anything that isn't too different from a square or 4:3 should be fine. For computers specifically, you're probably going to have one or two bars on your screen at all times, so your monitor choice should depend on that. On wide screens I always have vertical bars on both sides because it's just too wide without that (on XFCE, that I use specifically because of that, even though it's honestly not as good as it could be for vertical bars). A more vertical monitor (maybe a square) would be better for a horizontal bar or two. Basically, the size doesn't have to be all that specific since you can adjust your configurations (though this should be better and more common). I intentionally waste a decent amount of horizontal space because clearly it's just too much. Wide screens could be more usable if the GUIs were actually designed with that in mind, but no, everything is still designed assuming that you have a lot of vertical space.

And yes, phones are awful for everything. Absolutely useless. Well, the new

ones are. Real phones are good clocks, and my 10 year old phone does that well enough and has much better battery life. They are only for (((social media))). Nothing worth doing can be done well on a touchscreen, and if you can't use a computer, you probably shouldn't be using anything because it's not the right time and place.

>Is this really "enough for anybody"

>and somehow better than a 1920x1200 or 2560x1440 screen?

I don't need the extra width on the sides, pretty much ever except sometimes with movies, and it's not worth the extra space it would take up for me. at that point I'd still just prefer an even larger 4:3

>What specs (CPU/RAM/disk etc.)

Windows XP Pro with a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 and 1GB of RAM. 80GB HDD.

I'm not sure, I use it for SSH, telnet, reading emails, posting on inageboards and forums, light web browsing, programming, watching videos, typing documents, and working on my websites and stuff. also torrenting and whatever. I can cope with that for a while. I have another newer laptop that I can use if I need to run engineering software and modeling stuff.

I have a bunch of 1600x1200 and higher LCDs from thrift stores / garage sales and they all cost under $15. Unfortunately a lot of them have over 16ms of input lag as well and some even have frame dropping. Once you get to the "higher end" stuff the engineering becomes more shitty.
