       @bobstechsite nah, UHD is specific resolutions (4K, 8K) of 16:9 format.16:10 is outdated computer screens trying to approach the golden ratio for no reason.

       @zatnosk true, I was thinking of 4K, not UHD. They used to be used interchangeably a few years ago but now apparently they mean different things 🤦‍♂️

       @zatnosk @bobstechsite I wish these things were expressed in a consistent way. What I really want is a monitor in the same ratio as A series paper i.e. 1:root(2) but my head can't work that out as a ratio of nine

       @bobstechsite what? 4K is one type of UHD, and 8K is another type of UHD. Both of those are 16:9.The only thing that was ever 16:10 afaik, is some computer screens. All HD television is in 16:9 and all 4K movies are in 16:9.

       @zatnosk my understanding is that 4K is 1.9:1 (16:10) aspect ratio while UHD is 1.78:1 (16:9).That'd be because the former is designed for professional production, broadcast & cinema, while the latter is for consumer displays & media. Am I talking rubbish? If so, thank you for correcting me!

       @bobstechsite that sounds like rubbish to me, and wikipedia supports my view:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolutionThere is indeed multiple definitions of 4K, and while the 4K UHD (UHDTV1) is dominant in consumer displays, cinema has a different *but wider* definition; DCI 4K is closer to 16:8.4.According to wikipedia 16:10 is mostly computer displays:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:10
