HDTV is 16:9 and manufacturing processes / economies of scale made panels in that ratio cheaper even though losing 10% of your screen height was always dogshit for doing actual work
maybe it’s changed since 15 years ago and newer display tech like oled probably has different constraints but iirc you make big sheets of screen and cut out individual panels like how paper is manufactured in huge sheets and then cut to A4 or whatever size and since a 16:9 panel of a given diagonal (marketing bullshit but anyway) is smaller than a 16:10 one you have a lower defect rate
Reading this at 165hz, and in HDR. But… it’s a laptop.
Though if the panel is out there, so are the monitors using it. From the looks of it, ASUS ZenScreen 16" (MB16QHG), UPERFECT 156K01SG and numerous chinese portable monitors use the exact same panel. Not quite desktop monitors, but it’s at least something
remember 16:10? man those were the days
