You're right... but for the first 50 years of television, they were 4:3. Oops, I think my age is showing. I was born before the advent of HDTV. :-)

Yes, I really meant "16x10". This was the most widely implemented widescreen aspect ratio before the 16x9 craze began a year ago.

The most common instances of 16x10 are the 22" 1680x1050 and the 24" 1920x1200 LCD monitors.

I like widescreen better than "TV" (4:3), but I like 16x10 widescreen better than 16x9 widescreen (too short).

I hate glossy screens, too. But I hate 16x9 computer displays even more.

Why would a corporate notebook PC or desktop LCD/LED monitor need to be 16x9 instead of 16x10?

Does everyone just watch movies all day, every day?

Good luck,

Scott
