Re: 21:9 ratio, you say

The ratio thing really bugs me now.

I understand why they do it, but I really wish screen manufacturers would scale down their ratio figures.

Two years ago it was all about 18:9. Just call it 2:1

Now we have 21:9. Or 7:3.for those of us that were taught maths beyond the age of 8

Somehow we're all meant to be incapable of understanding anything without a ratio measured against 9.

Old TV programmes will now presumably be broadcast in 12:9 format.

What's next? A square screen that needs to be sold as 9:9 so that people can understand it?
