Which is better, "16: 9" or "3: 2"?
You will come to your thoughts in front of various exhibits.
A consumer electronics retailer who came to buy a notebook PC."How much power is the CPU?", "What is the weight?" Or "Can you remove the keyboard?"But probably not many people think about the aspect ratio of the horizontal length and length of the display.There are two options, 16: 9 and 3: 2.Depending on which one you choose, there is actually a bigger difference than you think.
Of these two, many people are currently selecting a display of 16: 9 (or a ratio close to this).For example, Apple's MacBook is 16:10 and iMac is 16: 9.All laptops of DELL are 16: 9 horizontally.In addition, HP and ACER.
Some models have 3: 2 displays dignifiedly.The Google Pixelbook display is 3: 2 (2400 x 1600 pixels).Surface Pro 6 (2736 x 1824 pixels).These look vertical, but the width is slightly longer.The 16: 9 display has almost twice the width of the vertical width.
The display began to shift horizontally in the 21st century.In the middle of the 2000s, the TV program started to respond to the wide screen.If TV programs and movies are made to the horizontal screen, there is no point in the monitor of TV, notebook PCs, and desktop PCs.
The horizontal display was thankful for gamers.The scene that enters one screen has spread.In addition, the manufacturing cost of the display has been reduced.The 15 -inch 16: 9 display is smaller than a 15 -inch 3: 2 display, so it can be made without much cost.
Thanks to some manufacturers such as Microsoft and Google (and HUAWEI), the 3: 2 display is currently being broken again, but because of that, there is one more consideration when buying a laptop.rice field.Is the display wide?Isn't it wide?Which is better?
Wide display if you watch the video
Wide displays have the same benefits as before.Wide display is the best way to watch movies, TV programs, Netflix, and YouTube videos (for example, if you try to look at Netflix on Google Pixelbook, the letter box bar to adjust the screen size to 16: 9 is displayed black.It will be done, so please be prepared).
Above all, you can benefit if the screen width is important.For example, a long spreadsheet next to budget management, or a game that unfolds on a messy ground instead of flying around the sky where nothing is drawn.Another feature of 16: 9 is that it can be reproduced naturally naturally as it is seen in human eyes and the surrounding perspective.
The reason you can easily arrange anything on the screen, such as programs, websites, and documents, is the reason for choosing a wide display (in Windows, snapping the application window and displaying it in just half the screen.You can also).In this way, you can check the SNS on the right half of the screen and take notes while looking at the website without going back and forth on the left half of the screen without going back and forth.
If you look at the information, there is a 3: 2 display
By the way, on the other hand, technology is evolving without a break, and we are currently spending most of the day, looking at the vertical screen.Yes, the smartphone in the pocket.Perhaps this is one of the reasons why 3: 2 has returned, but this vertical display has many other benefits.
A lot of information can be displayed on the vertical screen, such as when reading a long sentence, website, or SNS timeline or when checking the schedule in the future with the calendar.The difference is particularly strong when you look at the website.There are only a few spaces that can be seen at once in pop -up windows and advertisements.
If you don't need to display two apps in the app, 3: 2 display is recommended.Ideal for reading word processors, emails, long web pages, and tweet threads that you don't know when it ends.Almost all of the sites that can be scrolled forever flow from top to right, not from left to right.If scrolling is required, a display with an aspect ratio of 3: 2 is easy.
The menu, dock, taskbar, and tabs are displayed above and below the screen as usual.Not right and left.In other words, by buying his laptop in 3: 2 displays, it is not necessarily used, but it can reduce the space in the display that appears on the screen.
Well, conclusion.There are no correct or wrong answers for these questions.We are certainly at the stage where we can choose a wide display and 3: 2 display (but if you really want to use MacOS, MacOS is a wide display choice).Let's add a tablet here for a trial.Most of the tablets have a horizontal vertical ratio of 4: 3, so the width of the selection is even higher....。
So, the seeds of troubles are increasing in this way....。
