    I mean across all display devices, not just monitors.

    Dont get me wrong, while I don’t have an ultrawide, I’ve seen some of them in store and they look wonderful. It’s almost like being in the future.

    That being said, it’s clear that vertical resolutions/aspect ratios are far more widespread.

  I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It’s not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It’s about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9
