Lets start with postage stamp screen sizes, increment and see when (if ever) ultrawide screen makes sense.
1. Smart watches. Do you want letterbox smartwatch? You must be kidding.
2. Smartphones. That is one unique category, that literally begged for ultrawide AR, because phones are elongated thingies. Did you ever see any letterbox smartphone?
3. Tablets. Apple (the coolest/hipstest vendor out there) makes 4:3 devices. WTF?
4. Laptops. There are several ultrashort offerings in this category! If I were one those employees who peddled those products within their companies, I would seriously worry about being fired (due to disappointing sales).
5. Desktops is currently the only niche where ultrawide gained some momentum. I repeat once again: this is momentously stupid development.
6. TVs. After brief Phillips and Vizio honeymoon with ultrashort TVs, they are discontinued. Do they still employ people who proposed those ventures?
7. Projection screens at movie venues. Most of multiplexes are width constrained, and therefore are 16:9. The 2.35:1 AR format is a ridiculous waste even in movie venues!
8. IMAX
