I find the comparison of the "extra space" with 3:2 and 16:10 a bit confusing, since the screen size does not seem to be taken into account, or am I missing something?
For instance
this figure. Would not a better comparison use the same screen size like
this?
Nothing seems to "go missing" on the sides in e.g. the figure showing lines of code, so 3:2 looks better than it would in practice, does it not? Same goes for the web page figure, with simply just more lines without any lost space on the sides.
Hehe, the same argument works the other way around, how much smaller the 3:2 is compared to 16:10 or 16:9 if the height would be locked instead of the width. Then 16:10 and 16:9 would have
so much space on the sides, but again that is impossible with the same screen size.
