Random brain fart thread.
Did anyone ever make an LCD panel with a weird pixel aspect ratio? I'm not aware of one.
Even on old laptops / portables with really weird screen aspect ratios, the individual pixels that made up the screen were always square. It was presumably considered more critical to maintain 80 columns of text than 25 lines, so the vertical resolution got cut for cost tradeoff. You'd think somebody would have tried stretching the pixels out to make a more ergonomic looking screen though.
Or is there a technical reason why it can't be done?
Full disclosure: I intend to do nothing with this information. It serves no purpose.
