Nigh all media is 16:9. What’s this obsession people have with 16:10? Isn’t it inconvenient to have black bars along your videos and pictures?

The benefit of taller screens is for productivity, not media consumption. More lines of text is preferable to many people, myself included.
Even non-productivity too! I’m a gamer and I find games to be more “fuller” in 16:10, if that makes sense. I mostly play RTSes and A/RPGs, and recently switched from a 32:9 ultrawide to a 16:10 and I find it better, at least for the games I play.
I could not switch back from 21:9 now. If anything opens in 16:9 I get upset.
I would prefer 2x 21:9 over 3x 16:9
With proper use of window snapping it is superior for research.
But for general productivity I see personally no real upside between 16:9 vs 16:10. Our office administration recently complained it’s too constricting so…Some are fans.
