No worries, I was just clarifying what I thought it should be, not having had to deal with this earlier. > However, a quick search shows many 16x10 monitors available from Dell, > Asus, Acer and others, which would simply avoid the issue. I can find a few Dells at 1920x1200. Can you find anything that has more resolution and is 27" or so (more)? 3840x2400, or even better 2880x1800? I could not find anything. If you can, can you please give me the model number(s)?
