Yami Bakura Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Which aspect ratio do you like better and why? The 4:3 Fullscreen or 16:9 Widescreen? I am so used to Widescreen and I like Widescreen better. It just feels more natural than Fullscreen.

Superhai Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 chicks look better in fullscreen, flicks look better in widescreen, but the best is in cinemascope...

Headrush69 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Widescreen all the way. Having the resolution for the full page horizontally and still having space for tool palettes is much more practical than messing with floating tool palettes over the page.

I think modern OS's should move their menubar/dock/taskbar/whatever to the left or right side of the screen, position vertically. This leaves a lot more screen real estate available.

thegodfaza Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Widescreen because humans see in a 16:9 - 2:1 ratio. It's more natural than a "Square".

Alessandro17 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 The problem is drivers. I have a 20" widescreen and I have problems both with Windows and some Linux distros getting my favorite resolution. No problem in OS X.

Paws Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I personally prefer widescreen but I won't go insane if I am forced to watch dvds in fullscreen. Widescreen is standard anyways and you should watch dvds in widescreen if you want to see the movie exactly as it was seen in the cinemas. Also when it comes to managing windows, they are easier to manage in widescreen than in fullscreen. However, i do find reading or writing is more comfortable in fullscreen.

qbattersby Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Dual widescreen is the way to go. Couldnt go back to 4:3, ugh. I have to use them at school and I hate them for working in Illustrator and Photoshop.
