Wouldnt this be the reverse, with the prey animal only being able to see a 4:3 with both eyes?

43 0 ReplyNo, they see more of the sides to detect predators. Predators eyes are forward, narrow cone of vision
24 2 ReplyI wouldn't call it narrow. It's almost 180 degrees. More than enough for a 16x9 monitor

Agreed- the comparison is missing the blind spot in the middle.
8 0 ReplyThat's how I read it. If a narrow screen helps you see the details, it stands to reason that the high resolution part of your vision is narrower. The diagram is pointing to the prey to want a narrow monitor to fit where their vision is best.

I mean, it's not, but do you King.
If the screen is inside your field of view, youre not losing detail using a 16:9 monitor.
60 0 ReplyYou do lose details in the sense of how much attention everything on screen gets. When looking at something, you don't process everything in your FoV equally - for example you don't notice lower resolutions outside your focus area.

Maybe just try switching to a 4:3 resolution before investing in an entire monitor.

Where in the fresh hell does one even get a 4:3 screen these days?
33 0 ReplyI just took a 16x9 and hacked the sides off with a sawsall. It doesn't work now, but I still feel superior.

I have one listed on craigslist right now, for free because it's broken. No takers.
6 0 ReplyI used to have a CRT screen that was 1600x1200 @60hz, so high resolution ones do exist.

just get a 16:9 and play with the display settings to disable the edges
5 0 Replywhile i prefer 16:9, i recently bought a monitor and had to filter out 4:3s because they were everywhere (when sorting from lowest to highest price)

Should be flipped, compare the "seen by both eyes" regions.

6 0 ReplyThere are 3:2 laptops like the Framework and Huawei matebook x pro. But 3:2 is still quite far from 4:3
6 0 ReplyI've used one briefly, it was fantastic. If only Microsoft's Surface wasn't the biggest player in the 3:2 market.

The newer Lenovo X1 is damn near 4:3, I think mine's 1900x1200
2 0 ReplyI guess 1920x1200. The equivalent in 4:3 would be 1920x1440, not really close.

4:3 is the "both eyes" span of the prey, 16:9 the predator. If you're doing better with 4:3, you might not be the kind of "GOAT" you want to be.
