Aspect ratios are one thing but a number of tasks are just better in portrait. For that purpose I have a desktop monitor stand that rotates 90 degrees.

Trickier on a laptop but can't someone design a 'convertible' with a rotate-able kickstand, so that a detachable typecover snaps into place regardless of whether the screen is in landscape or portrait?

Aspect ratios and orientation are moot if you have more real estate and pixels.

If you were to have something like a 55" curved 8K monitor and good eyesight (or glasses), aspect ratio would be less important to you, since that screen would cover most of your field of view while still providing you with high pixel density.
