Nigh all media is 16:9. What’s this obsession people have with 16:10? Isn’t it inconvenient to have black bars along your videos and pictures?

The benefit of taller screens is for productivity, not media consumption. More lines of text is preferable to many people, myself included.
Even non-productivity too! I’m a gamer and I find games to be more “fuller” in 16:10, if that makes sense. I mostly play RTSes and A/RPGs, and recently switched from a 32:9 ultrawide to a 16:10 and I find it better, at least for the games I play.
You can pry my 49" 32:9 monitor from my cold dead hands.
Seriously though glad you found something that works for you. I could see them being difficult for RTS/ARPGs. I’ve started getting back into racing games because of my 32:9 because being able to use the side mirrors is cool as hell.
Side mirrors?
If you aren’t first you’re last.
