I'm still a fan of the 16:10 format (1920x1200, 2560x1600, 3840x2400). Has anyone seen any new desktop monitors in this format? (I know it's unlikely, but one can always hope...)
Furthermore, it's not a UltraSharp series display, which suggests (at a minimum) no proper color calibration out of the box...perhaps not just a personal nit given desktop productivity users tend to use them in multi-display setups almost exclusively. A decade-ish ago when the U2412M was in production, shit color calibration was a particularly egregious trend that Dell eventually corrected with their U2415 offering. Now the best they have to offer is U2421E, which eliminates the bottom bezel (nice for portrait mode users) and throws a USB-C hub on, but still no progress on the native resolution front and panel quality is reported to be inferior to its U2415 predecessor.
So I'm also stuck with U2415 for now, but I'd really like to see if coding on higher resolution displays truly squares with all the hype. Might have switched to 16:9 a while ago, but the substantial loss of vertical coupled with excessive horizontal when working in CAD has been a showstopper for me.
Ah, that's disappointing. Those monitors fill a nice niche.
I remember buying monitors 20 years ago, and I remember what stuff cost back then, so I don't complain too much (we've got a lot of bargains) and I accept that "you get what you pay for." The disappointing thing is the nonsensical nature of monitor pricing. It tends to be a pretty bimodal distribution and it often takes some research to figure out why something is cheap or expensive.
It's not exactly what I was looking for, but I'm tempted to try Huawei 28.2 2:3 monitor if I get a chance
I just browsed through Lenovo's display offerings and didn't see a single 16:10 aspect ratio display listed anywhere.
In the US market[1], it appears to be a discontinued model.
