its like that one but mine is LG

StepS is young, and wide screens were rare years ago

well i had two huge CRTs before, one was 1024x768 and the other was 1280x1024. ye, much of a square, and a damn heavy box but it had 120 Hz  good old times when one is cooler having a bigger refresh rate  otherwise it makes eyes bleed.
an LCD later i believe was also 1280x1024, but now it's my grandpa who uses it

but that's actually not a point. 1280x1024 is 5:4, which is more of a square than 4:3. kinda locks you down if you want to keep aspect ratio and select the other one. i wonder why was 5:4 even needed... 1280x960 could go well as 4:3

why do you think 1280x960 is better? 1280x1024 have the bigger square (more pixels), and mathematically a square has a bigger square than a rectangle (with equal diagonal), but I'd like to have a big wide screen.

well, because we keep aspect ratio 4:3 without stupid stretches or cuts if we want an other resolution

I believe it's mostly a placebo effect because you "feel" the speed more. (Screen moves rapidly etc.)

Exactly!! I thought the same when I played in a very high res, everything felt super slow.
