I think they widened the aspect ratio in like 10 steps in the last 20 years. Starting around 2000, every time I watched a new movie it would be thinner until my 50" TV was too small. Goyim see this tiny ass format on the latest star wars and think this makes it prestigious in some sort of way, then the kid in the store says "oh yeah look at this new TV it makes the image bigger by matching the aspect ratio" and they respond "oh that's genius".

Except half of the fucking video. It's the same thing as cutting the top and the bottom of 4:3 videos, that feels like you're watching it with goddamn binoculars (well, maybe a little worse than that, actually), or something. Not as bad as that because wider aspect ratios already look unnatural to me anyway, but you're still butchering something that you presumably appreciate.
>>1014650
>You have to find versions of old movies or shows that were made for old school 4:3 TVs.
Well, of course. The only way to make something like that fit a wide screen is to stretch it (looks wrong and terrible) or to cut half of the video off (even worse). I always go for the original aspect ratio. The problem is that this has to stop changing. There has to be a standard or we will end up with an increasing amount of aspect ratios for different eras. And screens are already too wide to begin with.

Well their entire business model is to change things and deprecate old media, so people buy the same shit over and over again. They have no incentive to stop doing that. So I'll just stick with old 4:3 stuff. Anyway all the good movies are from those days, and new stuff is pozzed

This only applies to movies, OP. All TV shows for the past 10 years have been filmed in 16:9 and that standard isn't going anywhere.
What makes movies different? Because the majority of profit will come from the cinema where black bars don't exist since it's projected onto a screen. And the director gets to choose whatever aspect ratio will work better for their movie. A movie with a lot of landscape and scenery? Or horizontal action? Then a ratio wider than 16:9 is great for that. But a movie that's mostly talking and not a lot of action? 16:9 works better there.

No wonder you're so stupid
Given the same diagonal, a 4:3 screen has more area compared to 16:9.
For CRT-based technology, an aspect ratio that is closer to square is cheaper to manufacture. The same is true for projectors, and other optical devices such as cameras, camcorders, etc. For LCD and plasma displays, however, the cost is more related to the area. In addition to our eyes naturally seeing a rectangular view.

Your eyes see what you focus on. You can't read a document by just staring straight at a screen, your eyes will move to focus. So this whole meme about "our eyes see in widescreen" is bullshit.
Widescreen only makes sense for watching movies and if it's really far away from you, so you don't have to turn your head constantly. Even a movie theatre sucks if you're stuck in the front seats. And modern laptops suck unless the screen is like 12 inches or less (and those suck too because you've got almost no vertical space). But with a 4:3 or 5:4 display, you can comfortable have a 15 or 17-inch screen an arm's length away and not have to move your head constantly back and forth like you're a spectator at Wimbledon.

Human vision is better approximated by 16:9 than by 4:3, given how our eyes are positioned.

I'm talking about using a monitor where you read text and such. Your eyes *have* to move to focus. Same with paper books and magazines, it's no different there either. That's why old school newspapers with their bigass pages have the text formatted in columns, or else it would be a real PITA to read, and also you'd often end up losing track of which line you were on when you mentally hit CR/LF (so to speak). Even speed reading techniques work by moving your eyeballs (focus) around rapidly while scanning the text.
Peripheral vision is not very useful for any kind of detailed work. For 3D FPS video games and movies, ok, but even there it's annoying to move your head around if the screen is big and close up. Anyway pretty much the only FPS games I can stand are Doom & clones from the 90's, and those are 4:3.

You can place text in multiple columns/pages on a screen too, for example I read most pdfs keeping two pages on screen at a time on 16:9.

You can have columns without widescreen monitor though. Just set your relution high enough, if you want that. My cheapass used 5:4 monitor can do 1280x1024, and better ones can do 1600x1200. With a 17 or 19 inch display, you can set the font small enough that you comfortably have several columns, or xterms or other windows side-by-side. The whole widescreen thing was just a way for manufacturers to save a little money while pretending to sell you the same screen surface size, even though it's smaller (they always advertise diagonal size in inches, never square inches!) And if you have special needs, two monitors is better than one widescreen, because you can actually rotate one of them to display full letter-size or A4 document, and it won't be all fucking goofy like trying to read a widescreen that's rotated vertically (unless it's a really small one).

Here is the real story. Take it from a guy who is old enough to have actually lived in the 80's and 90's but young enough to not have Alzeimer and remember.
TV was 4:3 but theater movies were ultrawide. Then came the time to agree on a resolution and ratio for High Definition standard. It was decided to choose the best ratio to watch both 4:3 and ultrawide, this middle ratio was 16:9.
Now, it's 2019.
- 4:3 is totally dead. (Only old 80's guys like me who watch only old stuff and play only old videogames still use 4:3 screens. No money to make here so they don't care. 4:3 tablets are awesome though but they almost disappeared.)
- The mostly used screen is now by far the smartphone, which all are 18/9 to 21/9 now.
- Theater movies are still ultrawide.
- Some gamers like ultrawide monitors.
So unfortunatly it makes sense that the next standard will be wider than 16:9. It is not to force people into buying new TVs though.

>So I'll just stick with old 4:3 stuff.
Is this bait? Your 4:3 cap has matting (black bars). Kubrick shot in 1.85:1-1.33:1. Aspect ratio has never been standardized. Thats why older theaters have actual curtains.They would adjust them to match the film.
4:3 is television shit. The only thing that was shot in that was stuff going strait to TV like sitcoms or "made for TV movies".

>Kek, American McGee was one of the guys who got nausea from playing those games, and his solution was simply to decrease the window size.
This reduces the area of the screen that simulates first person 3d movement, which does help. Likewise, increasing FOV and the horizontal area does too. It affects enough people that console games aren't being ported to the PC without an FOV slider.

>It depends on what resolution your screen is, and what size the fonts are.
I'm talking about stuff like PDF pages and scanned documents, stuff that has a predetermined page format and can't be resized to other formats well if at all.

By 4:3 stuff, I mean adaptations for TV, before they all became kikevision HD widescreen shits. Like I said, the black bars or cropping don't bother me at all. I grew up with this, and barely ever went to the cinema (maybe once every few years on average).

Fun fact: Doom up through v1.1 had a 3-screen mode, like was popular on some flight sims at the time. But then they removed it, and I don't know any other FPS that had this feature.

Yeah well at that point you have special needs and just buy another screen, if seeing the document in 100% resolution is that important. I never had this need, and it wouldn't work on laptops anyway, much less the phones and tablets that people are using as computers now. Desktops are effectively niche now, for serius gaymers or some businesses, and they both have money to spend, so another screen wouldn't break them. In fact, in the end, they'd end up with more screen surface, compared to widescreen kikevision shits.

You can *read* PDFs without needing it at 100% scale with entire document showing. And like I said, this special need isn't something that works on the average person's "computer" in CURRENT_YEAR. It's a niche requirement.
And no, desktops aren't selling as much as they used to by market share. Now it's mostly laptops, tablets, phones. It's been that way for a long time, in fact.

That's pretty neat, never knew that existed. I almost want to install chocolatDoom up through v1.1 had a 3-screen mode doom on a few computers and try it out.
>But then they removed it
According to the article you posted it wasn't removed, it was just broken in the 1.2 release, as they reworked the networking
>I don't know any other FPS that had this feature
You can achieve pretty much the same thing on most games by using multiple monitors.

Only reasonable post in this entire thread.
My dad bought a 16:9 CRT TV in the late 1990s together with a DVD player, and lots of movies were already in 21:9 format showing black bars on top and bottom. It isn't anything new.
