Well, i seem to run into this every few years when I have to update the software on older HMI. Otherwise I barely notice the topic. I wonder how the rest of you handle this.
It appears about 10 years back the "standard" PC monitor aspect ratio was 16:10 or 1280x800 1920x1200. Even older monitor was 4:3.
Now the "standard" monitor size match the HD TV aspect ratio of 16:9 or 1920x1080.
It drives me crazy when I try to work on graphic that's on the 16:10 ratio on my laptop. Depending the HMI, the scroll bar would suddenly appear and take out 1/4 of the screen and there's no way to properly fit multiple screen unless one actually have the right monitor on hand.
What's the strategy for you folks? I see 16:9 staying for the long (?) term so would it be more beneficial to bite the bullet and convert all the 16:10 system I have to 16:9. Beside, it's getting more difficult to get teh 16:10 screen now but not impossible.
