Just bough an Ultrawide Monitor - WOW

[Jeezer]

16:10 (1920x1200) beats 1080p hands down. I can't abide 1080p screens near PCs. It feels like the bottom of my world is chopped off (for no reason other than laziness to tie in with the TV industry). Was a bad move the day monitors started following cinema/tv over what computer users really needed.

Fact is even on my normal 16:10 1920x1200 monitor I have just as much, in fact MORE vertical editing space (I can have my midi editor up way higher and still get 4 tracks like that above), and it feels more natural than 1080p.

These ultrawides are cool, and do give you some nice side real estate (for plugs or w/e but I see very little point of having them just to stretch the timeline out - maybe in a video editor but it's hardly essential here at least for me.. maybe if doing heavy scores/post) but they don't address the verticality at all (nor do 4k monitors either which are also just larger 16:9s)

BTW, why do most MAC users always have that stupid oversized task/app bar showing and taking up a massive portion of work area? is it really needed? On windows you set it to autohide easily enough and it only pops up when you put your mouse cursor right down on the very bottom of the screen, and even then it's super slim.

I'll never understand people willfully jamming up their working area + also the distraction of icons/apps showing that are not the current focus/work...
