It's funny I have a logitech cam at the top of my monitor, which effectively covers the exact same space as this new notch. The bezels on monitors have gotten so thin it's tough to include add ons.

That's what appears to be happening. The screen appears just a little taller than 16:10 - in windowed modes where the menubar is present, the menubar extends into this additional headroom. In fullscreen modes, the extra headroom just isn't used - it's blacked out and the screen is presented as a 16:10 screen.

So it's treated the same way as the iphone treats it - extra space that can be used usually, and just isn't used where it's not sensible.

I wish the iPhone would not stretch out full screen videos around the notch though.

> It's funny to me, without the notch the device would waste something like 3 square inches of usable space.

Funny how people can rationalize every bad idea that Apple has.

And still throw thousands at it.
