TahagomizerThis is a very interesting discussion which completely misses the main point of everything being absolutely subjective and up to individual preference. My wife worked on a 24" 1920x1200 screen and considered it perfect. I have a 43" 3840x2160 main screen 50cm from my eyes, a 27" 2560x1440 on one side and an old 24" 1920x1080 on another, usually a 13" notebook in front of me and yearn for a time I will be able to connect a computer directly to my optical nerves to have a 360° screen bubble around me. It's all about information density, I want my brain to always be on the verge of being overwhelmed. Not a joke, that's when I am most efficient and that's why I point out the subjective nature of the problem.

Personally the only reason for ultrawide screen popularity I can see is the fact they're cheaper to manufacture - manufacturers can cut more of them from the mother glass than 16:9 screens - but for general usage I consider them an abomination.
I used to have a 24" 1920x1200 screen which was absolutely amazing to work on.

But now, I wouldn't swap my 3440x1440 ultrawide for anything. The extra horizontal area really adds to game immersion. It's as close as you can get to that "direct optical nerve connection" today, I guess. :)
ARFThis is because TPU is wrongly designed for vertical, so called portrait orientation, it is targeted for smartphones use, the desktops be damned! :banghead:
There's nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. It's a text-based website, after all.

It is not just text-based. There are reviews with plenty of images, photos, different graphs, etc., and the available 16:9 screen estate is not utilised optimally.

Chrispy_I uploaded a photo of Quake3 Arena locked to 20fps and you could count THREE distinct after-images (effectively 7Hz pixel refresh rate). At 144Hz a photo of Path of Exile where the labels on everything are white text on a black box, I counted 8-9 repeated frames - that's 16Hz
Sounds like even a 40-inch LCD TV from the late-'00s and early-2010s, would be a lot better than that!
