16:10 Best ratio

Apart from ultrawide (where I can see the advantages, even though problems with 1080p 29/34 and 1440) neither is perfect, is 16:10 is a better ratio than 16:9?

I use a 24" 1920x1200 and it's nice and sharp. If I wanted a new gaming monitor, it would be 24" but in 16:9 so less height, and less pixels vertically as well.

I guess 16:10 gaming monitors aren't too common, freesync high refresh etc.

I still like 16:10 because of desktop space. Also, it's great in some older games. I'm now used to 16:9, but 16:10 is still a nice ratio to have for both work and gaming. If you like it, then I don't see why you can't still consider one, minus the free sync and high refresh rates. Dell do some nice ones.

But that's why I'm looking at a new monitor. I've got a 6 bit TN 16:10 panel, rated quite well for gaming.

No matter how many monitors I use I still think 16:10 is the best ratio and 30" 2560x1600 the ideal size and resolution.

yeah having yeah problem finding a replacement monitor. Either 29" 1080p, lower in physical height than my 24" (and lower res) 27" 1440 may be pushing it for my RS480, 34" 1440 defiently will but perhaps a good long term purchase if I use non native or low detail but then games will easily be 75+fps, 34" 1080p good for gaming 144hz, but bit low res for desktop and long time ownership, and 24" 1080p lower in physical height and lower res.

Chuck in freesync and high refresh and basically can't find anything..
