16:10 

Nice video tips. Wondering if you could help.. I have choice between a dell 2421 16:10 (1920x1200) or Dell 2719 16:9, (2550x1440) and not sure if the 27 inch would give me the same vertical depth if I run the resolution at 1920x1200 ?

I prefer 16:10, been using a pair of them for years for everything.

I miss my 16:10, rip.. 16:9 is so much smaller vertically

I have had this monitor for a long time now and I absolutely love it! I could never go back!

It's frustrating that 16:10 monitors are becoming the way of the dodo :(

Damn, I love the in depth explanation. You mentioning RU-vid, Microsoft Word, Excel and etc was exactly what I needed to know, without knowing I needed to know..

I know that it took some time to produce this video, time well spent. I found your presentation to be broad and informative; greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sir.

I feel as though 16:9 was one step too narrow, and I say that as someone with a 16:9 "gaming" 1440p monitor. If I could go back and change my purchasing decision, I would have gotten the 16:10, and just accepted the black borders when watching videos. I barely ever watch videos in full screen anyway.

I managed to grab a Dell U2415, It's only 1920 x 1200 but the quality really is as good as they say., this monitor is cherished as I know how rare it's becoming. As for 16:9 well consider this... App makers and windows itself never fully exploited the benefits of a wide screen. All menus and controls should always be on the left / right hand side, never at the top. I know it's possible because Adobe have done it in Lightroom.. Even web browsers got it wrong by putting tabs at the top of an already wide screen, why not on the left or right? Then look at websites, even after years of 16:9, web developers still don't fully exploit the format, often sites have huge blank bars either side of them.

I prefer 16:10 because of its larger size and more suitable for my lots of usage like web browsing and working documents

I will never buy 16:9. I find 16:10 so much better to work on. I have no idea why there are so few 16:10 models made :( It should be the standard. But when it comes to gaming 16:10 most of the time has a problem because games aren't designed for that resolution (they are designed for 16:9). What I mean by that is a lot of games I played would cut the sides to fit the view vertically (or stretch vertically if it doesn't cut the sides) which is a big problem when you can see less on the sides. It's sad cause you would think instead of seeing less on sides you would just see more on top and bottom but that isn't the case :( If you want full horizontal view you would have to play in 16:9 with black bars on the top and bottom of your screen which can fell bad.

As a person that always has been used 16:9 , the 16:10 aspect ratio of my MacBook looks great and have some good advantages !!!

Thanks for including the Excel comparison. Really helps!

I am watching this video on an ASUS 16:10 monitor with the resolution of 1680 x 1050

16:10 for the win, its the closest to GOLDEN RATIO (1,618033989) very pleasant, armonic, productive, everything. I am a proud owner of a U2415 and a HP ZR24w the latter is older and has wider borders but is still a great monitor. I hope they release some 3840x2400 monitor some day.

Great comparison which takes into account a lot of different uses. I also edit raws, edit video, play games, consume media and since I'm about to change my monitor I'm still torn on getting a 16:9 and 16:10. I actually love 16:10 to work but in a lot of movies and expecially games 1920x1200 is still not supported(which is unbeliavable considering we're in 2018 and even 90's games often supported every sort of resolution). Gaming with black bars ain't the best

Most professional apps you mentioned are designed for Mac OS specially the Adobe apps as they’ve a special relation with and Macs which use a 16:10 so it will work best on that. When you look at the Ribbon UI in Ms office positioned horizontally you know it’s not meant for 16:9. I think it’s opposite for gaming. I like browsing and watching RU-vid on 16:10

1280x800 -> 1440x900 -> 1680x1050 16:10 for life :D

Perfect explanation. Thank You.

I don't like 16:9 either. I was used to 4:3 and CAD. Then when the 1920s came out CAD was always 1200 /16:10. However, with people working remotely off laptops and desktops with the standard 16:9 and using TVs as monitors, it makes a 16:10 difficult to read on these devices remotely.

I've been using a 16-10 Dell for 10 years and love it. Whenever I have to use a friend's 16-9, it feels cramped/squeezed vertically. 16-10 gives you extra room for toolbars, menus and taskbar rather than having them eat into the screenspace that would be availble with 16-9.

appreciate yr quick response , thnx!

If I'm a Fan Boy of anything, that's for sure a 16:10 (8:5) Aspect-ratio monitors. Any Users of Legendary Dell U2412M Here? 8~)

Greatings Mustafa, please please do the same comparasion with 3:2 aspect ratio display, it would be great if you can do 16:9 vs 16:10 vs 3:2, thanks for the video, you explain things very well

16:10 is best

simple thing is you only want to use it for gaming only ? go for 16:9, the best and normal looking you wanna do your job and see more ? go for 16 : 10, i personally use 16 : 10 monitor for programming, which is can see around 8-10 more lines of code compared to 16 : 9

Thanks for the awesome info man!

Great analysis. Thank you for great insights and practical use comparison.

thank you for an awesome review!

I tried a lots of resolutions and aspect ratios for CS:GO. And I considered as best to have a 16:10 monitor and use 1280x960. It still looks good and you have an advantage of stretch.

Nice comparison, thank you. I would have liked seeing a photo editing program as well though

Super useful, thank you.

I know this vid is old but its been super helpful for my monitor shopping. Looking at one of the Super Ultrawide 43" 32:10 monitors but wasn't sure about the :10 ratio. Thanks for explaining!

Holy Moly that tip with the windows key and arrows just changed my life lol

Thanks for well thought trough and made video. If I could suggest a minor tweak, that In my mind could make it even better it would be that You included the "basic specs and attributes" (physical sizes", connections and menus..."material and finish"..."what ever You find worth pointing out") AND your thoughts/reflections on these "attributes/features". Now I now that the "specs" can be found "anywhere" but it's still handy to have it "right here". AND more "importantly" I find it more interesting and relevant to hear what an actual user thinks about the "actual physical product in use" and it's "attributes/behaviours/performance", rather than trying to infer it from "spec sheets" or a multitude of different "partial reviews". Just a suggestion, and again thanks for a great video. Best regards

Excellent video. All examples are very clear and meaningful. Was wondering if you had to choose between 23.8" 16:9 monitor vs 22.5" 16:10 which one would be better for Word/Excel and browsing . Height is equal but the former is 4.4cm wider. Should you cut some width ?

Great video, I'm about to replace my Philips 19" 1366x768 res with this Dell 2415H - life changing :)

All's I know is is that u can make a 16:10 video and use inshot video editor, change the canvas to 16:9 and u can move the video to 1 side and have a bar the other side in any colour or colour combination u like and have ur socials and that there which is cool

The only thing 16:9 is good for is watching movies/shows and playing games. For anything productive or even web browsing, it's always better to have more vertical real estate rather than width. So given a choice, I would pick my 16:10 any day.

my main PC 16x10 2560x1600 I love it, i also have on my 2nd pc 1920x1200 so all 16.10

Thanx to your video i am using for less than a year an HP E24i (16:10, 1920x1200) monitor. It has a super effective 24% matte coating and a contrast of 700:1 for work at night (Brightness=0%, Contrast=0-5%) and 1000:1 during daytime (Brightness= 0%, Contrast= 25-35%). There is no IPS glow - perfect black corner to corner. Colors are awesome in Standard mode without calibration. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to preserve their eye health. I used to have terrible bright light/blue light/PWM/glare sensitivity and now t`s all gone. What worked for me was the use of VGA cable on Windows 7 OS. This model U2415 was under consideration but I left it for its way too high price in my country and the coating. I have the following questions: 1. I was wondering if you still use the U2415? 2. Do you still consider 96ppi enough for video and image editing? I was thinking of buying an extra HP E24q (24 inch, 16:9, qHD) just for photo editing but not sure if the extra dpi is needed. Today all new FHD laptops of 15.6 inches have 140ppi pixel density. At the same time editing imags on 96ppi monitor shows plenty of detail for this "low" pixel density.... Smart phones have often more than 400ppi pixel density but all images on web sites and social media are scaled properly regardless the pixel density of the images published. The only time 96ppi is a disadvantage is maybe when you send an image saved at 96ppi to someone with a FHD laptop screen with 140ppi where the image will be much smaller. Is this a sufficiant reason to go for a higher pixel density screen when I can easily upscale the image from 96ppi to 140ppi in Photoshop without much damage done on the image. Or should I just downsample the original high resolution image to 140 ppi as a file that needs to be printed on paper and send it over to the folks with 140ppi FHD laptop screens? 3. Does the coating of U2415 is actually 24% haze matte or is semi-matte. Every time someone reviews this monitor (or any other Dell matte monitor) quite visible reflectios pop up whenever a bright thing is in front of the screen, not necessarily a light bulb , even a human face, hand, piece of paper etc. Can you confirm this?

Bonus tip (bonus tip) sound effect haha One love and abraços bro bro.

I just wish there were feature-packed gaming options in 16:10. Like the equivalent to my IPS 1440p 120hz 10-bit HDR400 monitor. Give me THAT (or an OLED is even better) in 16:10 and I'll buy TWO 28"-30" models for an over-under dual screen. Or perhaps better yet, a 50" 32:10 version. Heck, if they brought back 5:4 monitors, you could run them in portrait mode and have a 4:2 lower portion for games and a 4:3 upper portion for managing chat and your stream. It would be a 38" diagonal screen that's 30" tall and 24" wide, but still... If you want everything on ONE screen AND a bit of the "ultrawide" experience...

Although this is a decision video, I'm leaving a comment although I already have one. 16:10. Except mine isn't Dell, but Philips, white model, with a lightframe around it that can light in blue. 1680×1050. It's interesting cause even my tablet's aspect ratio is exactly 16:10 [at 8 inches]. I view pictures often, use music software [sweet, sweet bonus space from the resolution], even watch from time to time 4:3 videos, so they show even bigger for me. & all games are viewed just fine with no black bars for me. When I first got the monitor, I was confused if it was 16:10, 16:9, or 16:8, because I saw that small difference. & I'm really loving the way 16:10 works it all. I pretty much recommend it for all kinds of things, it's nice. Maybe hopefully in the future I could get even the 1920×1200 size as well. I think 16:10 is perfect. Even the colors are all just correct. Perfect. Nothing messed up. 16/10. Get it? 16 out of 10.

What a nice fella, take my like 👍🏼

Great review!

Ultimate video

this video help me a lot, thanks

Perfect video, thank you

Thanks mate

It is insanse to me we do not have a good 120hz+ 16:10 monitor. At least laptops start to have it much more often and they are much better on the eyes and for productivity

buy 16:9 because you see videos in full screen

informative!

im using 16:10 1650x1050 monitor

Thank you sir. It must have taken a fair bit of time to produce this. Much appreciated.

you know that the 16:10 portions have black bars on all sides when watching on a 16:10 monitor, also I have 2 16:10 Dell 2208WFP 1680x1050 resolution so I should get better performance.

Very well explained...

thanks a lot for the video, there is little information about using this resolution with Office. Regards!

I have dell u2415 and i want to buy a new one for dual screening that will help me on development..What dell should i buy? Is it a big prblem od different sizes between them?

Unfortunately no is making 16:10 monitors anymore in large sizes, 32"+.

16:10 is very nice. It's a shame they're not more common

Nice video. I'm curious about your computer speakers. I have double U2415 side by side and looking for a pair of small HIFI speakers below them.

Wonderful review. Your review made me purchase the 2415! I now have the same setup as you. Can you tell me the color settings you used on the 2414 to match the 2415? Cheers

i could never go to 16:9

Nice, thanks for tip with win + arrows

Use same wallpapers while comparison that would be great

This was really helpful video. I wound up going with a 16:10 monitor (Dell U2415), and now I'm wondering if it might actually be too tall. Maybe it's just because I go from a 16:9 at work and then come home to the larger one. Anyone else have a similar reaction to a 16:10?

Which is best for watching movies

That Supergirl Wallpaper is literally my desktop. What are the odds?

U should have more subscribers, Very Nice video

nice

I kind of miss miss the experience in portrait mode :S.

The Steam Deck is 16:10

would 4:3 be revive agian ? lol.

missed the chance to make the video 16:10

Thanks for the comparison! After watching this video I've bought U2415. This monitor is really great, but I've got a problem - it hurts my eyes. I tried to use f.lux, adjust different monitor settings, but still can't find solution. I'm using it mostly for coding, so I'm reading/writing a lot of text. I really like this monitor and don't want to return it, hope to find the solution. I want to ask: do you use scaling on your U2415 (maybe 125%)?

Personally, I try and avoid 16:9. I find the aspect too wide for normal day-to-day use. 16:10 and 4:3 are, in my opinion, the perfect aspect ratios.

Nice video

Hai Mustafa... Very useful video. Great comparison. I have doubts... 1. can we watch videos and moves without black bars on top and bottom on 2415 monitor ? 2. does it suits for external devices ?

Why not get a ultra wide?

You're just comparing a larger monitor to a smaller monitor. You should be comparing a 27inch 16:10 with a 27inch 16:9

thank you.

wtf this video has 80k views and his channel doesn't even have 300 subs

Aspect ratio has nothing to do with FPS in games. It's the larger number of pixels. And also the number of rows in Excel. On higher resolution you can see more pixels. 3:2 monitors are more common today. Some example resolutions: 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 16:10 - 1920 x 1200 3:2 - 1920 x 1280 But I would aim for 2.5K monitors for today.

great what is the name of the monitor holder. very cool. you can hang two monitors. may be it is ModernSolid EA-215?

What about movies that were filmed in 16:9? how they will look like? thanks:)

I have the 2415 Ultrasharp is there a difference? I love my monitor as you do.

I hate how I am using a 16:10 monitor and the image is smaller at 1:20.

How about width? Is the 16:9 physically wider than the 16:10?

Man upload these nice wallpapers please, could you?

So iphones are 10:16 on IG and I think I have to start editing in that resoltion so my text stays centered

Will a 16:10 monitor effect gaming at all?

How would you say 21:9 compares with 16:10 for productivity?

Can i set 16:9 in 16:10 monitor on the 4:3 resolution 1400x1050 with Black Barks on the tom and Botton? I want to scale this 4:3 to 16:9 on 16:10 monitor?

Would 16:10 be better for yt vids?

can 16:10 turn back to 16:9?(window)

What mount you are using for supporting the two monitor?

Is the left one U2415 and right one U2414H in your video? The left one looks like a 27 inch monitor

Bro i am in to photography, so you mean to say 2415 is better to have then 2414.
