I think that's it.

I've used both, and the switch from 16:9 to 16:10 was a regression. Way too much vertical cramping (and other dumb stuff, like fat bezels). I've switched back to 16:10 to the greatest degree possible.

4:3 to 16:10 was an actual improvement, because it gave more space for sidebar stuff. I'm curious if 3:2 would be a better compromise than 16:10, but I haven't had the chance to use a monitor like that.

Unfortunately there was only one monitor made by Huawei that appears not in production. Panels still are available on aliexpress iirc.

There are also some laptops that use that ratio, but I mostly use desktop monitors.
