Topic: What aspect ratio does your computer screen have? (Read 2450 times)
16:9 and I like it.
16:9 sometimes but if i turn it on side 9:16 lol
I use my monitor with 16:9 (1920x1080)
Aspect Ratio since 2010, before that i used 16:10 (1920x1200)
and long before that, i still remembered that i used CRT monitor with 4:3 aspect ratio (which made my eyes work so hard
)
I never see monitor with 2:1 aspect ratio, anyone here ever used that?
it's time to upgrade my new monitor with bigger resolution?

I still miss my CRT Barco monitor, built like a tank and weighed as much.
Now get off my lawn, you damn kids!

16:9 is the best...
I don't know about it being the best ratio, but it certainly has become the most common nowadays.
And then, you have people like bluefirecorp with his 4 or 5 monitors.
If it were up to me, I'd have 8-12 monitors.
What do you use them for? Are you some kind of genius coder reading the matrix or something? I also heard about a couple of people who have bitcoinwisdom, bitcoinity and stuff like that on their monitors to never miss a single trade! Ha!

16:9 1920x1080 with 2 screens.
Personal Computer : 1920x1080 (3D)
Business Computer : 1920x1080
Notebook : maybe 1024x768, I don't know...

1280x1024 ratio was perfect for me.
Mine is 1024x768, which falls in the category of 4:3 I think,, I have always use this one, as it is good for reading and writing.
Well, what's the native resolution of your display, though? Your basically always best off, using the native resolution. 4:3 sounds like a special or rather old display!
I think it is the native resolution, I mean it is the default one I haven't changed the resolutions settings or anything.

It feels like the perfect resolution/aspect ratio. Wide but not too wide with enough vertical space for doing things like writing word documents and coding. Pretty much all web pages fit without the need for horizontal scrolling. Most games work well too. You can watch movies without the big black bars on the top and bottom getting too big.

It's a netbook so it's only 1024x600. They advertise it as 10:6 ratio but it's really more like 10.24:6. Wikipedia says it's between 15:9 and 16:9.
Dual 1920x1080 side-by-side.
Therefore, 3840x1080. Sadly, the ratio isn't "really" on your choice list ( >= isn't fair).

Why >=2:1 isn't fair? Your screen is >=2:1 so why not select it?
Because he wanted a 4:1 or something like that.
Anyway, what do you need those two for bluefirecorp?
Dude, 2 1080p monitors really isn't enough. Right now, only using 2 because I ran out of monitors (I used to use 5, but a few of my monitors were sold / broke / gave away). Once 4k prices come down, I'd be looking at getting 4x 4k monitors.
But why do you need so big screen?
It's not about the size of the screen, it's about the amount of pixels. I like being able to play a video game, watch some charts, have my chat windows open / etc. Multiple monitors for programming is an absolute MUST, otherwise you're alt-tabbing too much and you're just going to make a mistake.

I'm on an older laptop from the mid 2000's so it's 1024x768 which would be 4:3.
1366x768 pixels.
So is it 16:9 then?

16:9 (1920x1080 asus monitor). I'm curious though, what does a 2:1 monitor even look like.
What do you mean? As far as the aspect ratio goes, you just have even more stuff to the sides.
Yours is the yellow, and a 2:1 would be in-between the green and the orange. (I'm not sure there are monitors with a 2:1 ratio exactly)

What aspect ratio does your screen have? Would you rather have a different one?
I personally have a screen with a 16:9 ratio, which I feel is quite good for gaming because objects in the sides are close enough to the middle for me to take notice of them. I could probably go a bit wider.
EDIT: Added 16:10. Also, make sure to mention what your screen is being used for. Feel free to request any options added to the poll.

I also have a screen with a 16:9 ratio, and have trouble seeing stuff in either side of the screen while playing.
(Un)Fortunately, I don't really have that much time to play anymore, so that no longer bothers me that much... 
1024 by 768, I think is right for me because if I changed it will be either become too small or too big for me.

Where to look for the computer screen ratio?
It's based on your resolution. For the common form (M:N) set up a fraction with the width in pixels as the left number and the height as the right number.Example:
1920x1080...
1920:1080 -> Now simplify as if it were a fraction
1920:1080 = 16:9
Either that or just grab a calculator, divide width by height, and check to see if any common aspect ratio matches.
Example:
1920/1080 = 1.778
16/9 = 1.778
The aspect ratio of 1920x1080 is therefore 16:9, since the numbers match.
Of course, all of this is assuming that it has square pixels, which most monitors do.
