Saidit's 'free speech' is under attack from the new admin, who is of course a tranny. Check the moderation logs and see individual user posts to see what is being removed and ask yourself "is this level of censorship in line with saidit's rules, or are they serving a personal agenda'.

I figured you would. Don't they make it obvious why square monitors aren't used? When you have to fit a rectangle inside a square you lose a lot of room.

Doesn't matter what the shape, I'd use it to the max. Square, widescreen, ultra-widescreen, etc.

Ultimately I'd guess it's about demand. Square monitors would be just as good for tiling too, for large theatrical spaces - though with lockdown there's not much demand for clubs and such.

Dude.... When you have to fit a rectangle inside a square you lose a lot of room. You make your display smaller. Thus a square aspect ratio is not desirable when it would force content with different aspect ratios smaller and shittier.

Dude... I know. When you fit a square in a rectangle you lose a lot too. Or a tall rectangle in a wide rectangle or vice versa. I'm talking about more than just watching videos.

For example, I have my 3 1080p monitors vertically tall, yet my full screen browser (ie. SaidIt) is crowded with vertical tabs, not even with sidebars (bookmarks) or widgets (clock, calendar, todo list), etc. A square monitor would solve that. Making them horizontal could fit it, but then my scroll is short and squat. I would MUCH rather have 2 large 1920x1920 square monitors than 3 1080x1920 monitors - plus my 4th bigger screen to the side for videos only.
