Hello,
aside from the form factor issues mentioned earlier,
we can take another approach regarding the consequences of these proportions:
with equal diagonal, the usable area in 16/10 will be larger than in 16/9 and smaller than in 3/2.
In short, marketing pushes for the sale of what is the most profitable:
The manufacturer benefits from selling 16/9 panels even though the diagonal is larger, you get less image area...
they market it as a "multimedia" product... tailored only for the cinematic medium of "super widescreen"
whereas you will occasionally watch a film in 16/9, you regularly use office tools and web browsers for which the effective work surface is reduced to a mere shadow.
At least a third of the screen is occupied by toolbars... to the detriment of the area containing useful information...
as for photography enthusiasts, the common formats being 2/3 or even 3/4, a landscape photo type "24x36" will occupy:
90% of the width on a 16/9 screen while it will occupy
94% of the width on a 16/10 screen
100% of the width on a 2/3 screen (to my knowledge, there are none with a diagonal exceeding 19")
of course this will be true if the form factor is respected, that is to say:
pixel ratio W/H = dimension ratio H/W)
