Yes

Because a 40" 4k monitor is so comfy.

Why would i buy a square monitor for any reason other than web browsing? My monitor does video and web browseing well.

A human's field of view is rectangular. A square monitor is an inconvenience.

Yep. That display is pretty much my dream, but it's ridiculously expensive, even compared to other high end Eizo or NEC graphics monitors.

Can't get comfy for media consumption in a chair

what screen is that?
I just want 4:3 mang

>Are you poor?
Yes.

Eizo EV2730QFX

It's actually 1:1 though and not 4:3

26.5" 1920x1920

I'm pretty sure Eizo and NEC still offer some high end 4:3 displays, though.

>A human's field of view is rectangular. A square monitor is an inconvenience.
Squares are rectangles.

A human's field of view is oblong. A square monitor is an inconvenience.

>being a pedant
if a square (4 equal sides) was really the superior, why are rectangular (2 sets of equal length sides) the preferred screen shape? what benefit is there? how do the jews or the illuminati or Big Screen benefit? take OP's monitor for example. it's over $1500. if it was the best aspect ratio, why wouldn't they just sell that, considering they can make a ton of money off them?

that setup is ugly as fuck

If you find me 19" 2160x2160 monitor I will throw my money at you

...

is there a source on that field of view image or did you make it yourself?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_vision

>Making an assumption that I sit 10 feet away from my monitor

>Meme monitors

This shit needs to stop.

so much autism, yeah we all need rectangular monitors for optimal data distribution in the CAT scans of our patients

let's remove our peripheral vision and wear blinders to stay focused like work horses /s

so you read a whole article explaining the function of peripheral vision and your takeaway was that it had no use?

...

This is my fetish.

Newsflash: Our peripheral vision is part of our field of vision.

Asian women using square monitors?

Even mid-peripheral is still best approximated with a square.

mid-peripheral of a suppressed peripheral

is still best approximated with a square, so it's your peripheral squared

do you know what peripheral means, it's fine to have a focused FOV but don't impose your personal perception of optimal vision as some quality standard that the world missed out on, it doesn't make sense

...

it's not just me
the asian qt here seems to be quite happy too
also this guy

Will I feel a difference comparing a cheepo 1080 42 inch TV compared to say a 600 FPS Plasma? compared to some expensive whatever is INTEtween?

as long as you don't end up cross-eyed

>Why don't you buy a square monitor?
A square or even 4:3 monitor will give you more screen area for the same diagonal than a widescreen.
Two A4 documents fit nicely on a square display.

>don't be a square, man
Not even hippies want that shit.

is 1280x1024 5:4 close enough?

>Why don't you buy a square monitor?
because i am poor
>Are you poor?
yes

Where do I find one with a quality panel?

not square

Where else would you browse the net?

i tought the poor meme was only a thing of macfags

>implying people can afford the best

Your eyes are literally one inch from each other. The humans field of view is still primarily square.

>all that unused space

4:3 was chosen when TVs were invented because it is the closest rectangular ratio to human vision, 16:9 was introduced later because filmmakers wanted a wider canvas to work with

either way, your FOV isn't rectangular at all and you also have to factor in binocular vision

I have 16:9 (?) monitor on my primary laptop but I like to keep my windows square, especially web pages

my desktop has standard 4:3 and I think it makes sense and feels better for computing. Sure, big monitors are cool but make them tall as well as wide

it's not for watching movies I'm not a stupid tv nigger

Because I watch movies and TV shows on my computer so it's really better to have 16:9

Goddamn, this looks so productive. I literally hate 16:9, and 16:10 is barely better. I wish this were cheaper.
Yes, but If it were 16:9, the vertical space would only be 1152p.

Many, many films are not 16:9, so no.

144hz monitors are they really worth the upgrade? I'll be replacing a 16:10 75 Hz monitor

if you already have that then I'd say no and wait until 1440p 144hz becomes cheaper

>People actually buy Eizos
Are you that weeb that you'd pay 3x the amount for the same monitor just because it was made in Japan?

My last two phones have been 1:1, I'll be sticking to 16:10 and 4:3 till I can get a color 2560x2048 monitor

>Eizo
>the company's name is literally image in japanese
>they still haven't said anything about the new R-Type

Most of the TV shows and movies I watch are 4:3, hell most of the TV shows and movies available are 4:3. 16:10 is the best aspect ratio if you're using one monitor and don't just watch content made in the last 10 years

>approximated with a square.
you mean like 4:3, an established non-meme aspect ratio?

We have 4:3 monitors at class and I really, really fucking hate working with them. They're so impractical I wish I could bring mine from home.

They probably have a low resolution,
not 1920x1920 like this square one.

Show me another square alternative

You don't even know what you are talking about.

OR

That's one of the games I tried on my 21:9 monitor. Pretty beautiful. Not what I wanted it to be.

square is better for everything that isn't watching anime

The fuck is this wannabe wow shit

Because it looks fucking stupid and gives you less screen real estate.
What is it useful for?
>web browsing
just put a 16:9 or 16:10 monitor into portrait
>watching videos
Black bars on everything
>gayman
less field of view
>productivity
16:9/16:10 is fine for this stuff at a high enough resolution. If you're really serious about your productivity, you'd get a 21:9 monitor.

If you really needed a monitor that isn't widescreen, get a 4:3 monitor, not this crap.

This is the worst meme this shit excuse for a board has come up with

A spiritual successor to ragnarok online, which predates world of warcraft.

>If you're really serious about your productivity, you'd get a 21:9 monitor.

16:10 is superior to anything when it comes to computers.

This is actually true, you can split screens on many monitors

/thread

>Are you poor?

Basically, yes.

Are you an idiot? 4:3 was the standard because it's the best for work, it's the thing we can do the most with as humans.
16:10 became the standard because we have become more recreational, 16:10 is the best fov for movies. it is by no means the best ratio for us to utilize in a practical sense

what the fuck is with her left index finger?

there are 50$ square monitors

Plasma displays work by generating 10 partial dim images that accumulate to 2 single full brightness image. The "600hz" is a marketing meme and literally equates to 60hz.

>tfw no 3:1 triple monitor setup
I wish these monitors weren't so fucking expensive.

3:2 > 1:1 > 4:3

This. I couldn't even find any non-widescreen offers on the national market when I was looking for a new monitor, and importing here is expensive af

what game is that?

Tree of Savior. It's shit. Well, maybe they fixed it by now, but it was shit when I played.

No.

Just use 2 16:10 monitors. One vertically, the other one horizontally.

>tfw Sup Forums never wants the best of both worlds

I don't buy meme tech.

This

just ordered a 4:3 Dell ultrasharp. 1:1 would also have been good, but 4:3 is what I am used too.

NEC MD MD211C3
21.3"
4:3
2048x1536
$5000

forgot pic

Yes

There is only one square monitor and it's the Eizo EV2730Q for about $900.

> bezels
Fucking disgusting

>Why don't you buy a square monitor?

1 - black bars when watching or playing 16:9 content
2 - less horizontal field of view when playnig games in 1:1 resolutions

>View range is wider than high in humans
>Somehow a fucking square monitor is better than a rectangular one

Are you retarded?

>content
>games
Fun is a buzzword and you should work instead.

>2008
woah

...

>Not only watching exclusive raw of anime done in4:3

That image is useless garbage.
At least try finding experimental results.

>you should work instead.
you mean 24/7?

If you have two monitors you're going to have bezels between them?

lol

I actually still have a 1280x1024 Viewsonic TFT from like 2003 or some shit laying around.

Best colors I've ever had or seen in a monitor till this very day.
