Here's why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle 16:10 is naturally pleasing to the eye. The only reason people make excuses for it being "not much of an adjustment" is because *there is no alternative*. You can't buy a PC laptop (and we're nearly there with desktop LCDs) that aren't 16:9. Well, there's one alternative. Apple laptops. That said, their 11" MacBook Air is now 16:9. I dread the day Apple announces a new line and it's *all* 16:9. I guess I'll just have to find a new hobby because interacting with a computer will suck. -- Chris _______________________________________________ KCLUG mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
