I did a quick Amazon search for "16x10 monitor" (I'm in the UK) and got: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-P2425-Inch-WUXGA-1920x1200/dp/B0D1R44BFC?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARZOPA-16-0-2-5K-Portable-2560x1600/dp/B0CJC93CH9?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-P2421-inch-WUXGA-1920x1200/dp/B088VGD2BF?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-P2423-Inch-WUXGA-1920x1200/dp/B09TPSW5DC?ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f etc. They mostly seem to be Dells, plus a bunch of portable monitors (like the ARZOPA above) which probably won't interest you. ChatGPT came up with: * Dell UltraSharp U2424D – 24", 1920×1200, IPS, 120 Hz. Excellent office and coding monitor. * Dell UltraSharp U2725QE – 27", 3840×2400, high-quality IPS Black panel with USB-C docking. * BenQ RD280U – 28.2", 3840×2560 (3:2 rather than 16:10), designed specifically for programmers. * ASUS ProArt PA27JCV – 27", 3840×2400, colour-accurate for photography and creative work. No doubt there are others. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
